hi all just checked the power steering fluid level, as per normal, still at max, when tested on a cloth, more dark purple than red, so, how do you drain out all of the fluid and refill with new?

yes and watched the video, but all it shows is the torque wrench, finally releasing but not whether the wheel actually turns, plus i could not read the setting on the torque wrench

differant/same question?

so, how tight is the center nut, and high tight will the wheel be to turn?

why are you on about wheel nuts, i thought that the picture showed the socket on the wheel bearing (center nut)? just to confuse you all, yes i have only got one full arm, but i passed my test in a manual(hehe)

hi all today,i jacked up the front passenger side wheel,with handbrake on, in neutral, tried to turn wheel, no way would it move anywhere, jacked up drivers side as well, wheel then turned easy, with other wheel turning in the opposite direction, does this deffo mean that the viscous coupling...

hi all phoned, local 4 x 4 specialist, as they were extremely busy with short staff(holiday's) they suggested , that it could also be ball joint, they suggested going to a tyre place and have 4 wheel tracking checked, which should tell me what was wrong? how do you check the following: (1)...

i don't think it would look very good, colour coding my white one, more pimped than coded? what do others reckon? have you done a white one?

had four wheel tracking checked, all ok how do you check the wheel bearings?

hi all any ideas as to why only the passenger side tyre outside edge(first 1") wears away, i fitted new tyres, scorpions, 3,000 miles ago, just before its M.O.T.standard 16" wheels and tyres

revised qoute;-water level never moves(in expansion bottle), dipstick has min and max on it, always stays on max,whether hot or cold? trying, today, to flush out expansion bottle,. will also check the radiator filler neck for distortion or scale, cheers

ratty;- It is a one way system. THe coolant can only flow to the bottle. It cannot come back. you are slightly wrong with this part, the radiator pressure cap , has a small, little, toggle valve, which seals when the pressure pushes on to it, but opens when the coolant cools, allowing the water...

occassionally, it gets very hot, taking the gauge up to 120c. he can drive it, for a long time at full, chipped,twin turbo, boost, and it stays at the correct temp 88c, but he occassionally gets white water coming out, from the pressure cap, and the gauge goes up to 120c, the expansion bottle...

ratty:-Are you sure the expansion bottle is pressurised? never said that "top hose pressurized" but, however, your description of the system is correct, radiator has the pressure cap, pipe coming out from the side of the radiator neck, goes to the expansion bottle, expansion bottle , has a...

hi all seeing as you are all well experienced in water problems, i thought that you would be the boys to ask. my friend, has a nissan 300zx, temperature gauges stay at 82 c, top hose pressurized, no water ever in the expansion bottle? changed pressure cap, checked hole in pipe , in top of...

just a thought, have they got a starter motor relay, like the classics had? have you tried jumping the starter solenoid?

just a thought, when i was reading up , about my sunroof, i noticed that the motor must have its own set stop position,as it says, set the sunroof into closed position, then, to remove the motor from the cables, then press the button until motor stops, then replace motor, you may have to turn...

"does it push up flat with the roof, mine doesnt so i think it may be a similar issue, it works and doesnt leak tho " by removing the 2 cover strips(tilt up roof, slide cover strips backwards, and off) and slightly undoing, the 4 torx screws, put sunroof down into closed position, you can...

anybody know, exactly what they mean, 0 to -0.5mm front, 0 to +0.5mm back. do they mean the rubber, or the glass? i set mine to the rubber,and have now got slight wind noise, how do you set it to the glass, if thats what they mean?
