Hi all

Other day out in the car pushing it a bit 90mph in places, something broke while driving, bit of a bang sound and then alot of vibration. Pulled over looked under the bonnet under it etc couldn't see anything out of place, car ticked over fine, drove it at 30mph about 5 miles home, noise was ...

Hi All

I went out to drive car today first time in approx 2 months. Car wouldn't/struggled to go in gear.
Clutch had gone quite spongy only feeling normal when at 2-3 inches from floor.
Any ideas.?
Thanks

My Boot looks say 10mm higher on one side to the other, are there adjusters or has someone cured this issue before?

I have a slight Gearbox leak coming from the gear selector area, lads reckon its and forgive me memory gear selector oil seals. However before i get round to fixing it how do i check my gearbox oil levels.
Also draining and putting new oil in is it tricky?
Thanks

Hi all

I have recently changed the Thermostat to a dual value, is there a thermostat that opens at a lower temperature that anyone recommends or is it one fits all type of scenario?
Am i better with one that opens at a lower temp?

Hi all
I trying to loosen the THERMOSTAT HOUSING BRASS FILLER PLUG I can't sen to find a spanner or socket to fit correctly 21 is close but the nut is very tight and i don't want to ring/force or break anything.
Can you recommend correct size please?

OK that's my first torque done, I did 24, 44, 58 a couple of the centre nuts didn't click first time on 24 do pretty loose. Mad how they could slacken so much.
Would most of you replace the gasket each time?

Looks like its coming from under TKC 1000 on the drawing.
Would you know if it is them seals is it a box out job to replace?

How can you tell the difference between a sprint and 1850 rad?

Yeah it didn't happen immediately, i turned it off and maybe a minute or so later i heard the splash.
I've been advised to first put a dual value Thermostat in, then check the cap pressure on the coolant bottle, actually the coolant rubber cap is old, thin and split could this add to the issue ...

Yeah i was thinking along the same lines, would the coil bracket bolt work?

Would you think the paint would cause a bad or no earth?
