Cos I've got about a litre on my drive going free to a good home. Please bring own rags and a container...

Think someone did a write up how-to on this a short while back. Seem to think it's because a lip builds up on the plastic and causes the handle to sit out once pulled. Mine does the same.

Hi, if you're just wanting Bluetooth functionality, have you seen/considered one of these? http://gromaudio.co.uk/products/bluetooth-hands-free-and-a2dp-car-kits/bmw-mini-rover-bluetooth-integration-kit-426.html You can add a 3.5mm jack and USB charger point for £13 too by the looks. Total...

I couldn't find my reading specs.....had to dash out to the shop for bread........my mate came round.........I never learnt to read....

Hi all, my '96 4.0 wipers work in all modes, but the delay of the intermittent wipe doesn't alter no matter the position of the delay switch. Are the suspect component(s) within the stalk or elsewhere? I've had a quick butchers in RAVE but can't find what I'm looking for there.

Hi all, following an MoT failure, I'm having to replace the drag link on my '96 4.0. I've had a look in RAVE and have a couple of questions: After I've installed the new drag link, should I get the wheels aligned first and then adjust the link? If I have the alignment done first and then...

I had an issue with power to mine. Plug behind driver's kick panel (where the door hinges are) was corroded to bits. Cut the plug out and soldered all the wires together. Sorted me out.

Thanks Gents, question answered :)

Hi all, after a brief but calamitous tete-a-tete with a Vauxhall Corsa I've had to swap my front bumper for one that looks all together more RR-ificated. The one I've just bought didn't have front fogs (like mine) but where my '96 has 2 blanking plates in the holes where the fogs live, the new...

Odyssey has a GEMS-engined P38 and a Nanocom. Try him. Thoroughly nice bloke, though I reckon you'll have to come over to Chesterfield cos I think his is a bit poorly too at the moment.

Did the remote relay work around myself last week, been good thus far. I soldered the power connections to the same for the RF receiver but I've put crimp-on male/female bullet connectors on the orange wire (and relay connections) so that should the relay go down for whatever reason I can...

Hi all, do the 'seals' that go around door window openings, that rust and bubble underneath the rubber outer have a special name at all, and does anyone know if they're still available new at all? Or is it a case of trawling the breakers' yard in the hope of finding some half decent ones? Thanks

Thanks guys, I'll give both the once over :-)

Hi all, does the EAS system remain 'active' with the ignition off? I've had a couple of flat battery issues recently and have noticed that the EAS appears to adjust itself when the doors are opened (can hear the solenoids clicking) on occasion. Does the EAS remain active even when the...

Coughing / sneezing fit? I reckon that cop car behind rammed it.

Hi Data, last I heard on the alco kits was that they carried an 11 euro - why not 10 or 15 FFS - fine but that the french themselves had shelved the fines? Think I read that on the AA website or something similarly informative and accurate. Has it been put back into play?

No, what I meant was it's not from the regulator, it's literally the window ticking at the top of the door frame.

Don't think it's that Data. It's at the top of the frame: window operation is fine, no problems.

Hi all, with the advent of the warm weather I've noticed that my driver's window - as in the glass itself - 'ticks' when its fully up until it settles. I'm assuming that this is due to dry rubber and (thankfully) dry glass. Does anyone recommend any 'lubricant' to put on the window seal to...

In an attempt to discover why some of the HEVAC switches were 'sticky' in their operation (I've found an inordinate amount of brown gloop behind other panels, suggesting a spilt coffee or similar) I dismantled the HEVAC. Don't do it. 5 minutes to bits; 40 minutes, 3 fags and lots of swearing...
