Thanks for the advice gents, weather dependent I'll get the spanners out at the weekend

That's a great idea

A bit of advice please, so after hunting a coolant leak I eventually have tracked it down to the bottom corners of the radiator so its got to go. I 've changed radiators before in other cars but not one with the built in oil cooler. My question is. when I disconnect the two pipes on the oil...

Thank's gents. Between leaving it crushed in a vice for a while and then jacking under it as had as I could, manger to get the nut on.

A little help gents. So I've replaced the bushes top and bottom on my front shock. All went smooth untill the last nut. How do you get the last bottom nut back on. I'm about 3mm short for the nut to pick up the thread due to the new bushes. I've tried putting in hot water, jacking the car...

Thanks gents, went with the Dinitol option. Time will tell how long it lasts

Gents, is there any suggestions for what type of paint to use on coil springs, I've got to do a bush change on the front of the car and though whilst i'm there i might as well tidy them up as looking rusty even though only a few years old. I've search and read just about everything i can find...

so having poked around this morning i think its a combination of a few things, water level in radiator was not all the way to the top, Expansion tank level was low. Then when the car was running and the fans on, i can feel air blowing out the side of the heater box where the matrix pipes go...

thanks, she a 1986, with a 200tdi

So i'm going to ask probably the most asked question of them all Is there any way of increasing the temperature for the car's pathetic internal heater. It might be just because it is a little cold outside at the moment, but even after an hour driving the air coming out the vents is still...

Hi, thanks, managed to narrow down and remove all the other leaks, just two left and having removed the dash i can see the stains where it runs in, hopefully will save a Tupperware party i have to leave in the footwell overnight

So i'm about to attempt my third try and getting the dam air vents to seal and stop the puddle in the footwell, With a new set of seals, again, Firstly anyone got any tips how to stop them leaking, Second when looking for tips myself on utube i spotted that some people put the seal on the flap...

So the plot thickens for the good . Got under the bonnet. Pulled the cables out the back of the alternator for a clean, and found one of the pins had a connection with no cable attached. So decided to trace the loom and found about 8 inches away the loom covering changed to a wrap rather than...

So. I'll order that in clean the mess up all at once. Final question, does the fuse box need two feeds. Eg whilst I am there it's not going to be much more work adding a cable in. Especially if there is a spare pin on tbe plug. I've got nothing that needs it from a load point of view. Just...

tottot, top man. that must have gone missing. is this what you mean, as can only find cyb400

I think I might be changing the wiring. If I'm reading this photo correctly. I'm hoping i find another wire later when it stops raining and i can finally get under the car

Better photo 2nd time around

So a little advice please, So spotted the alternator was not aways charhing the battery, but one the engine got warm it would kick in. However today not being damp it didn't So stuck my hand under the bonnet to find mucky connectors which obviously wouldn't be helping. Gave the feed to the...

Thanks gents will those suggestions a go

Hi. It's a 1986. 90. Door card removal not a problem, they've been off several times before. I just didn't want to start poking at the mechanism with out knowing what I was doing. The handle position does not make any difference. It is bound to be a simple fix.
