    I had this issue, it was solved quite quickly with a blowtorch and hacking away at the housing around the nut until I could just about fit a wrench on it to keep it still

    I think the heated screen uses the same. In fact i think all yellow ones are the same regardless of the number. Someone may disagree. Swap out the heated screen one as I guess you're not going to use that this week.. see what happens

    By the way, that's off a 99-02 Thor

    Thanks for checking that out. I'll order a replacement one. Car still starts and drives, so I suppose it's not anything critical. I've not noticed anything stop working though.

    I've just been out to take a picture of the fuse box diagram: RL10, bottom centre, is the one I'm missing. Anyone got a Thor they can double check?

    I probably didn't get all the old oil out, I'll give it a run and check the levels again Fusebox lid shows a picture of an engine with an electrical bolt through it. Don't have a picture unfortunately! Imagine an EML with a lightning bolt. Next up.

    Ignition key doesn't fit the glove box either, so hoping the door and glove box are for the same original key. Changed the oil today, was blacker than the night. 5L of fresh 20w-50 gone in. The old filter put up quite a fight. The garage...

    Get ignition and door barrels from a breaker along with a key blade and swap them over, not difficult, I've done just that on my project car. Make a note in the service book that they do not correspond to the VIN.

    I've just seen the price of the Mk3/Green receivers, so much for such a small device! So I've got a key which only fits the ignition barrel, and a door lock with no key. What's the sensible way forward? Replace the door lock cylinder with a...

    Update: They pushed the car out of the garage and it started to behave normally again. Keyfob works and engine starts. Perhaps an issue with RF interference. It's now sitting pretty on my drive 😊 I'll have to check if I have the updated RF...

    Luckily there's no risk of getting locked out because the driver's door has never locked properly. I've also got one of those inflatable cushions and a metal hanger just in case 😆 Ideally I'd like to get a new lock barrel and key (flip...

    I don't live this way by choice, this car has a to do list from here to the moon that I'm slowly tackling 😆

    Problem with pushing is there's a few ramps to overcome, and the guys at the garage were quite busy with other cars so I don't think they'd be too happy about spending time on mine now that I've paid the bill. I held the key fob right up to the...

    Hi all, My 1999 has finally passed its MOT! But the garage said they can't start the car anymore. Dashboard says engine disabled. Was working yesterday, but not today. Dash and radio still light up, so don't think it's a flat battery. I've...
