Do not undo the big bolts as they are the cylinder head bolts. Looks to me like there are over centre catches which allows the filter housing to be removed.

I have never considered a smooth belt. Will go and have a look what I can find. I have tried serrated bolts and washers but made no difference hence looking at other options. I will take some measurements and buy one of the turnbuckles along...

Very nifty.

The constructio The construction and use regs used to limit headlight output by wattage. With HID and now LED, the light output has gone through the roof as the wattage limit is no longer relevant. There are thousands of complaints about these...

What you have there is a set of series door handle units and Yes they can not be locked from the inside, at least the drivers could not. On the passenger side where that hole is near the handle there would have been push in pin like the series 2...

Get the codes read

Further from the finance they have been in touch to confirm the engine is having a full rebuild and that they will protect me for a further 6 months if it fails within this timescale they will reopen the case and return the vehicle, and as a...
