Regarding front bumper removal (to change condenser) are the bolts E16 Torx like the rear?

A sad but dawning realisation: The future chav buyers of L322’s will need only one tool in their kit….

Attempted a re-gas on mine today at quick fit. #fail condenser like swiss cheese. New ordered, next job on the list. :D

Changing the idler pulley is a good idea too. Got rid of my chirping noise especially on tick over.

Few weeks? Haha haha ;) Or if anything like ours, at least a year :):)

Ah, mon Dieu, had to get rid of the precious caravan. Didn't go down with the kids well. They wanted to blow it up, proper Top Gear style :D

For a minute there I thought a chicken wing had fallen into your bucket :eek:

Standard British weekend so far. Tip then garden centre. Then tip again with the crap we bought at the garden centre :D

Means do a forum search to get opinions from other threads as it's the sort of question asked many times. Then get Boge ;)

If they have never been changed before they will certainly be shot by now. 7/8 years life usually. If you don't mind getting eyeballs full of dust and grazed knuckles, quite straightforward to change yourself. Lot of threads on it in here.

I could 3d print some at work on the gizmo, bound to be much more ever lasting and betterer than them polywhatsits :D:D

Can't understand why lifting on a ramp would lead to loss of air, unless they lifted incorrectly and damaged something. Soapy water spray leak test the pipe joint at the air bag and valve block.

Fantastic news Ant :):):) hope all keep well, enjoy this time, hang the spanners up for a while ;)

Just finished my rh blend motor, took the usual stuff out to get to it plus hevac panel and head unit, spliced in new motor with plenty of room to work, all good now, cold air again and no book symbol.

Does look a bit like helicoil but I don't think it is. Bloody hope not. Seems like the last few threads around the magnetic rod have sheared off the plug. Should be ok with a new one.

You saw it too? Sounds like we live quite close :cool:

Glad you took advice and lubricated under bolt heads; I was part of an aircraft incident investigation some years back. We used stain gauge washers under the bolt heads and did all sorts of different tests. You wouldn't believe how much variation you get in bolt end load if no under head...

Cheers. Did my back in yesterday so just trying to avoid contortionist positions, will see how it goes :(

Old thread but just got all bits stripped out to access RH blend motor. Not much slack on the motor cable to attach connectors. If I remove LH tunnel trim and take Hevac out I presume will have better access to cable?

or find a top hatted V8 and drive it around for 4 years with no bother (oh, I did that) And again depends on personal usage circumstances for fuel. I put more fuel in my 2.2 BMW couple than in the 4.6 V8 (non lpg). Test drive the diesel too. I saw one appear at a local garage last week...
