Mine is installed at the back of the roof, it does need to be earthed unlike the earlier posting. As long as you get a CB antenna you will be fine. If you do use the roof ensure you have a good earth to the roof which will involve rubbing back the paint to bare metal, earthing it and the...

If you have blue antifreeze and at some point have UV dye it goes green, mine did even though its been through another flush, new blue stuff went green as well. I 1/2 soundproofed my 90 last year and the noise came down from shouting at each other at 50 to being able to talk easily at 65. I...

When I got mine it has a similar problem, which may not have anything to do with yours, but it started and run for a while and then conked out after a short period of rough running, would start again, run, conk out etc. I changed the fuel filter and it was fine after that. But I did have fuel...

This is funny and totally true, its only the farmers around here and the girls who always seem scared driving (probably because they fear a breakdown) who do not wave. Oddly this is the 4th car we have owned that causes automatic waving, the other 3 were a 2cv, SmartCar and MGTF. Two gutless...

I dont know, the dipstick has low high and danger high on it.

Well mine went over the max with only 5 ltr added, I did the filter and when the change was done it was done on the level. I have put 6.5ltr in it and run it yesterday for about 80 miles, all seems fine, but the dip stick is lying. I did measure the dip stick which was 26cm from the top of the...

Hi, Had a look through the archives and it seems this issue has happened a few times. But just to be sure. I changed the engine oil and filter yesterday, put in 5ltr of oil and the dip stick was reading between Min and Max? The manual says it should be 6.85ltr of oil and filter. Just wanted...

Having just spent ages going through my cars cooling system. I would strongly recomment getting a coolant UV Kit, chuck that into the cooling system run the car a bit and shine to torch on the engine and it will light up where you have the leak. Or stick a picture up here so we can see where...

Most of the VDO Rev counters I have seen have a switch between 4-8 cylinder engines and a screw to adjust the reading up and down. It should be on the back.

Well with all this advice is seems my issue is not having an 88c thermostat in the car.

I got a quote yesterday for £120 inc vat for a rebore and head skim is £40 inc vat.

I have a high lift and its happily in the garage, they are good for getting tyres off if you need to fix a puncture for breaking the beads. And moving the car around by raising it and dropping it off the jack. For chaging the tyres and maintenance I have a 6 tonne bottle jack and axel stands.

Would be really nice to have somone who knows what they are doing put up a "How to make you heater work" sticky somewhere, I have got mine working better but its not as good as Flats who's is excellent.

This is very tempting, the cost of the engines and gearboxes is a lot cheaper than the 200TDI.

Hi Flat, Thats the plan I chucked some of that type of stuff in it yesterday, I'm also going to put some metal epoxy over the area when I get a chance. This will give me time to look for a block and get it reconned then I'mm do the swap, its not a big hole so I'm hoping I can block it up for...

Video here showing where the leak has gone.. Not very good quality and 90deg round the wrong way.

If you look carefully you can see a rusty hole and the staining below, the hole is between the core plugs.

I'd love a Cummins in mine it would pull really well.

It wasnt, it should have been connected to the fan speen switch on the left hand side, all done now. I also put some tape about the tubes so hopefully they will not fall off again, but I lost a little screw and md nob wont go back on...

Have worked it out it was not connected correctly at the dash end and also the tube to the screen was out of its slot.
