I have found the cause of this.. and its not the resistor (whihc in the case of late pre softdash cars is located in the side of the heater box..) I ahve finally got the heater box out and have found the rear bearing on the motor has failed, causing the aramture to rest on the magnets.. and thus...

I have had my heater blower motor fail, or the wiring to it, or the heater resitor pack.. or a relay whose location I am not aware of.. (idally the last one) Allegedly on my 1992 Vouge SE the resistor is not under the decker panel (and from having removed it 4 months back I don't recall seeing...

Ahh I did do the 9 and 3 position, and there is no movement at all that I can detect, only at 12 and 6, so is this swivel pins? What I wodul like to do is take care of this and the CV at the same time if possible. Stewart

I know the rear wheel bearings are shot on my '92 Vogue SE, but I had a look at the front ones while it was up in the air having a tyre changed. One is absoloutly fine, no problems, on the other I can feel a slight bit of movement rocking it with my hands at the top and bottom of the wheel, and...

Are you sure? from reading various posts I am lead to belive when the resistor fails you loose all but speed 'III', and that is not the symptoms I have. Mine works on speed 'I' on all speeds but 'O' unless you switch the AC on , in which case speed 'III' does work. Is there a wiring diagram I...

Possibly an odd one this or an easy one... The heater blower behaves very oddly... With AC off it only blows at the lowest speed, no matter what setting you have it on, with the exception of off, when it works properly and does not blow at all. Turn the AC on and it makes no diffrance...

It will when it goes BANG... weak mixtures are not a wise idea of you have a mixer based system, unless you know what you are doing, weakening it off to try and get 'economy' is the main cause of the mixer systems reputation for blowback missfires (destroying the AFM in he process) My 3.9...

you may be surprised to learn the the exhaust valves are in the heads on OHV engines, as are the inlet valves. On some engines only the inlet has seals, but most have them on inlet and exhaust valves Stewart

The temp guage is a worry, but before getting excited, does the heater work and blow hot air? if so then the guage is not working nothing to worry about. If it rises when left idleing or in traffic and then drops like a stone when you get moving then either the theormstat is stuck open or its...

Its possible the seat switches have corroded, but the odd thing is... it's the same adjustemnt in the same direction on both seats! Same with the window motors, in fact new switches last year! and it's all the windows (is there a common earth?), curiously the AC now works (compressor kicks in...

No, if by valve seals you mean inlet or exhaust valves. Also depends on where the smell of petrol is, If in the engine bay it is probble a leaky injector seal, or fuel pipe, (fix immediatly before it goes BANG! or Wooooooooofff ) and check all the fuel pipes. If its also producing black smoke...

Drives fine! although only went from storage to the drive, about 7 miles. Stewart

Just got my classic out of storage, and it has aquired some faults... as exected i suppose! The electric windows have all died (were all fine prior) The rev counter does not work below 2K porperly (rarley reading anything, untill over 2K is, then shots up to correct reading, till it drops...

Are you sure? too many garages are inclined to say HGF, and if its not mixing oil/water, or loosing water or overheating then chances are it's not got HGF. When you say some smoke is comming from the exhaust what colour is it? 16 MPG stop start is actually pretty good for a 4.6 V8, My 3.9...

Which figures are those? not according to Rover, or MG rover. As for .org, been there done that, bunch of max power readers as was rovertorque I'll stick to aronline. I still don't get why you think the VVC is a screamer, ok it redlines at 7200, but you don't have to use it at 7200 as the torque...

Nope, if you have driven a peaky 1.8 VVC engine it's broken, belive me. If its all working properly there is no need to thrash it, there is no peak that was the whole point of the VVC system and also why it is wrongly considered inferior to VTEC (in fact its a far better system) because there...

I'd drive a VVC car first before you write it off as a screamer.. its not. It has a very very flat torque curve. Pulls well from very low down all the way to the red line (this is due to the VVC system, its the whole point of the system in fact!). But then I'd not mess about, just buy a range...

No No No No.. unless its a VM, the BMW engine will self destruct on veg, as a quick look on the omega forums will tell you. Old pug engines go well on it, (My 2.1 TC XM works very well 100% WVO in summer, 70% in winter). Only indirect injection engines with Bosch mechanical pumps, fly by wire...

Ahh, how do I get a blink code out of it? and how does the ABS light behave when it is working? Stewart

I have a problem with my ABS. THe light stays on. There are some other possibly related issues, and one probably not related issue but will mention it anyway just in case.. The light come on with the ignition and stayes on never going out. The brake pump runs for a long time before turning...
