Read it after I took it in bits I need to know if either of the rear door cables fit the front before I waste time taking them to bits.

Cable has broken on drivers door is a quick fix available by using either rear door release cables door is in bits so yes or no please before it starts raining again.thanks.

Not just front doors all locks relock as soon as I let go

Cheers will have a look when weather fines up a bit.

Got home today and opened the door got out and closed door as you do and it bounced open thought seat belt had not retracted and was fouling the door it wasn't. Tried to shut door again and it bounced open again looked at lock and it was in shut position. The central locking is now only...

The one at the top connected to pushrods I have always thought this was the camshaft.

Crud? Don't start getting technical for gods sake.

Hi again 4 litre p38 petrol having done head gaskets and valve stem seals the rr has developed a backfire on one cylinder. As you stand at the front looking at the engine it is the left hand bank number three cylinder. Have changed plug and injector if I disable the cylinder either plug or...

Sorry 98 p38 se green!

So after all your help which was gratefully received I changed now spark plug and it seems to have cured my problem and if it reoccurs I will just turn the radio up! While you are rea ding this is the bonnet release cable adjustable or is it replace? Thanks again for all your input.

Manifolds came off on Saturday put back on Sunday inspected bores and no signs of wear or pitting unburnt fuel is feasible did seem to be running slightly rich.how does one change the mixture without cars?

Yes steady at tick over no wavering or hunting.

Didn't know you had to.
