You are wise to be concerned and query. Imagine if 2/3 of the weight were at the front on one side it would be on 1 support on the gutter really. But you are also right the feet you have are wider than a lot out there. I would take some...

Bathroom men turned up, dug the newly laid floor up and are now levelling it up ready for another new floor Not plucked up the courage to cut my bonnet yet

Quality is the issue. Good ones are great but modern crap punched out on machines good for a garden hose at best

Great info thanks guys. I didn’t have my jack available so solved it by just rolling the 90 forward and back. Front prop was much easier than rear.

Best thing worked for me with bleeding was put couple blocks under the FR wheel get the expansion tank up high. Is everything checked to be tight after the work and a run in? Loose jubilee or something will draw air in

Hi have installed a auxiliary battery and standalone Glow plug relay with another timer relay. A thick 12v live and negative cables from the Auxiliary battery. But still when Glow plugs are glowing voltage drops to 10.6 - 10.8 the max from 12.7v...

I think it is more as a result of: a) Pushing the mini back and forth to park it in at the kerb yesterday. b) Clambering up & down under the car to effect the temp repair. I have ordered the hanger rubbers and once I have measured the diameter...

I decided to go to a master electrician and boom, I found a bad wire connection, a broken wire on pin 2, giving off weak voltage and the body of the wiper motor was not in contact with the bodywork as it was receiving little current. The master...

Ja dam odlucio da idem majstoru električaru i bum nađe mi loš spoj žice isprekinute na 2 pinu žici dao slabe napone i tjelo motorica brisaca nije bio u kontaktu sa karoserijom kao slabo prima struju majstor je nekako oziveo pomocu struje i sad...

Kurt, Do you still do valve block rebuilds or do you have any recon units for sale at the moment. Cheers Colin

1998 i will have to look when I get home

What year is it and does the thin pipe that goes to the expansion tank go down beneath the battery box or around the side of the battery following the wing. Mine had the pipe that dropped below the battery tray and was an ass to bleed. I replaced...

Thanks so much for all that info, really helpful. The rack i have is heavy but has 4 x supports along its length on both sides which are about 10cm wide so plenty of weight distribution. I keep being told by people who have been using roof tents...

They might have used spacers and stock springs.

How long ago was this?

Leak off pipes are new along with the copper washers on the banjo bolts. I am reasonably confident it's the actual injector. Diesel is coming out of the injector recess hole. My theory is if the copper washers on the injector was blowing then you...

I can only see relay 7 as an ignition relay which feeds the CJB (passenger footwell). Relay 8 is the fast/slow wiper relay, Relay 11 is wiper on/off. Pins 1& 2 at the motor should be power but they are switched from the relay so you may have to...

I will try this aswell thank you all

that would be ideal!

i have a diesel but it's about the same thing, once the pulley was removed i blocked the flange with a plumber's pipe wrench (don't use chinese stuff) blocking it against the frame and using a pipe as an extension. some people do it by blocking...

If can possibly have a bar made like the guy in the video did that holds the two bolts and allows you crack the center bolt off it can be used in reverse to tighten it. 🤔

But it's also about loosening the screw. The disc rotates. Now I've seen another video and he says that the motor can ‘brake’ the disc - so that it doesn't turn. How does that work?

Either à torque wrench or a nice big long bar! The center bolt also puts tension on the oil pump behind the pulley so it's got to be or you can trunk the risk of the oil pump not doing it's job😬 I didn't realize it's a petrol... Even still, tight...

Perfect, you have hit the nail on the head, there wasn't a feed as the switch had worked loose. All fixed now. Thank you

Thank you I will try this fingers crossed

I took a closer look at it. It's the crank seal. That's what I'm going to do next. It doesn't seem complicated. I watched this video: The only thing I'm missing is the special tool to tighten the bolt to 270NW. Is there anywhere to get it or...

I really like that sort of stuff. Cool :cool:

I think if you pay someone else to fix your car then running an old lr will get very, very expensive. They only make sence, to me at least, If you will fix it yourself.

so you have checked fuse 15 passengers fuse box and checked that you have a feed from the ignition switch on this fuse white cable and a feed on the white/green from fuse
