thanks Nodge, I'll keep on looking then.

here is the link to the lights, https://www.hansen-styling-parts.de/epages/63246837.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/63246837/Products/1830-L-1/SubProducts/1830-L-1-0001 appreciate the time you guys are taking looking into this for me, I even get smoke from ears sometimes when I connect to me wires...

got your attention, good, now me and electrics go as far as if I get hold of one wire and then pick up another wire my eye balls start spinning. I need to fit new fog lights on the f2 (lenses is bust on the old ones) Powerful Uk aren't shipping out to Sweden at the mo so i found a Euralight set...

It's not so much the use that is the problem, more like if the calliper piston's gasket has perished over time which allows water in, the chrome on the piston rusts, seizes the piston, done quite a few over my many years (yep I'm an old geezer) finally came to my senses and stopped putting...

Is it possible that having replace the one calliper the ns has now pushed its piston (which might have been rusted in place or crap on it or what ever) so it has now locked in place. Either way it looks as if your gonna have to strip down that calliper as well, Can I assume they did the both...

personally I'd change the oils, oil does deteriorate with age and with such a low mileage why risk it.

Just a quick note, LED bulbs can be dimmed, check out PowerfulUk, Ive seen a video of them dimming interior lights so reckon dash board lights should be possible.

Sorry not quite getting this, why replace the studs if all you are doing is replacing the nuts? Just remove the locking nuts and replace with normal nuts. If you have lost the locking nut key you can replace it ie https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-STC3424 or http://mcgard.com/lrj/ a little...

Not sure if this will help but a plastic bag filled with hot water( even boiling hot water if you can get a thick enough plastic bag ie. decent zip lock bag) might be more efficent heat transfer. Use gloves :-)

this guy seems to have done a reasonable job,

Yep good buy, had one for the past 2yrs and love the fact that you can set the torque (has 3 settings on mine) so don't over tighten

Fair do's if you can get oil at that price, i'll pay that just for 4 litres, A good thread by the way.

JD Not sure what you're saying here What happens with a new car with new oil? It doesn't slip, in fact I would f thought the opposite was the case, put fresh oil in so the transmission doesn't have to work harder than it should. AlpineJim I presume with using 10 litres of oil you have done a...

you don't want to just replace oil you have drained out, the correct way to do it is to bring the temperature of the oil to 60c this can be seen if you have an OBD 2 reader which will give the actual reading or use a temperature reading tool on case. (I normally take for a decent run this brings...

here is a link to the same discussion rather interesting if you read through it https://www.swedespeed.com/threads/transmission-fluids-2010-potential-error-in-owners-manual-jws-3309-vs-aw-1-jws-3324.519049/

Only 57.5 North, try 64.5 north,:D so glad mine works, Any advances on 64.5:rolleyes:

question is did they fix his car :rolleyes:

Definitely not a job to undertake with out a jack/car stand if your using a car jack rather than a proper jack. Many an accident has happened with people trying to fix brakes without the proper equipment. Might be time to invest in a jack and stand, they pay for themselves eventually. As...

surely if she is going up hill and maintaining the same speed there will naturally be an increase in revs as the engine works harder to maintain the same speed. If however the speed drops a lot and the engine is working overtime to hold the vehicles speed then like Nodge says your clutch is on...
