Hi I want to improve the fixings for the lap belts on the bench seats of my Ninety (1986). I'm thinking of installing these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276315545098 ....bolting through the wheel arches. But I'm concerned about galvanic...

I have no interest in extending the oil interval. the factory interval is 6000miles, I have changed it at 6000miles for the last 400k miles, I am happy to change it every 6000miles. Going longer against the factory recommendation seems foolish to me.

If your engine looks like the photo below then yes you do, plus a panel fitted diagnostic socket also shown. The white plug you show is part of an in-line connector so you should be looking for the socket and the a panel mounted diagnostic...

Over ere if yer car gets nicked they dun't always come to look. Sometimes they dun't investigate. They turn up. Have nowt to go on so log it but can't do nowt. Years ov austerity, closing police stations and letting coppers go, reduces wot they...

I was looking for a close up of the fuse box fuse holders to see if contacts are present

Morning All. :D A bright dry one here. :) Have a great day. :D

But all the car parts are the same over here and the EU the cars are the same but car crime is very low and here the police investigate everything, If you have a car accident it is mandatory you call the police and thay determine at the site who...

You have to wait until the radiator air is hot enough to lock the viscous coupling before trying the "newspaper" trick. Having said that, if you don't know when it was last replaced, there is a good chance of it being poked. I replaced the...

Bort some more nuts anorl.

Weather good over here but feeling a bit autumnal, spring cabbages going in to day water flush and new coolant for generator, cut the meadow and clear it away, and more preserving still haven't had are day by the sea 😠 always more important...

Cost ov repair going up. Less use ov filler on bumpers assit can unset sensors int bumper. More tek more eggspensive repairs. Car crime is still a problem. Especially fer cars where yer get close and it unlocks wivvout operating the key. LR...

Good point from rangieman , if you assume ms leaked not slave then there should be fluid in the slave so you can slacken the bleed nipple on it and see if anything comes out either by gravity of pumping the pedal without topping up Great projects...

Ditto. You were missed.

It appears that the motor has been detached from the regulator at some time, then refitting with the regulator in the wrong position… the glass wasn’t fully closed. Something I came across many years a go when I had to replace a regulator on my...

Bort meself 4 web cam fings from argos. Collection today. Lots to choose from. Found it diffycult to pick so went for mains powered ones fer indoor only. Yer can gerra water proof cable fer outdoor bort separate. If eye bort one wivvit in the...

Have you the manual, the green bible? It's for very detailed testing for the alternator. I'd go for the cheapest, no extra load, so why waste money?

What is it with car insurance in the UK you all seem to pay over the top is it all the theft or just profiteering?

👍

The viscous fan is actuated by the temperature of the radiator airflow - there is no "temp" it comes on at, as far as coolant temp goes - once the radiator air output is hot enough, the fan will lock. You need to get the coolant flowing first...

Thank you all so much, I really appreciate it! Will have a proper look around today and let you know - I'll order some 4 Dot too. It does look odd being so dry doesn't it?! I bought my tank with my heart, more than my head - as a project to...

You need Rovergauge.

I agree, but having bent and twisted these around a bit I am damn impressed with how tough they are. Where the standard arms would bend and or break out of the potentiometer, these just flex and return to their normal shape. I do like that...

Hi, the BCU must stop the motor so if the motor doesnt stop when you block it's shaft the problem is the BCU but make sure there's not some wear in the mechanism and the motor's shaft doesnt feel the blockage hard enough to increase the draw(see...

An engine cover ?

Don't be so personal 😂🫣😜

So they don't mix them up in assembly 🫣

Engine guard? 🤔

You should have known at least your vehicle's specs cos the plug in your pics looks very like the 14CUX lead

Please see the youtube video at the link below to see what is happening.
