  1. Best not to fiddle with it then just in case
  2. Hi Slug ..... welcome to the Forum Sometimes, things are worth waiting for Good to have you onboard!
  3. Hi Gary ..... welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard!
  4. Hi.....welcome to the Forum I would look for any wiring that tracks under the carpet. I know there are modules placed under the floor but think that is mainly on the passenger side. Lift the carpet and see what is underneath is the best place to start Let us know what you find
  5. Hi....welcome to the Forum That sounds like the rack went to the point where the steering couldn't cope with the angle and weight on the nearside wheel and by lifting the weight resolved it. Interesting bit of information and thanks for sharing it with us. By the way, did you sort the washer pump?
  6. That should definitely improve things all round now. Be nice to know if you see an increase in the mpg Andy
  7. Oh not sure then, maybe someone knows where the filter is located?
  8. Great news Andy, probably get more performance and better economy as this would have affected the Lambda sensor to result in overfuelling the engine
  9. Hi....welcome to the Forum I have encountered a similar situation before and from memory I reset the audio system by disconnecting the power at the fuse to it to clear down any stored memory. Wouldn't recommend it if you don't have a security code though
  10. lol...could be right Andy Yeh its not bad down here I suppose
  11. Great choice of films....big Tarantino and Guy Richie fan also
  12. We're protected by the Isle of Wight so we have a micro-climate and although it would be great to say we get all-year round sunshine, we actually don't but it is always a lot warmer here hence no snow
  13. The problem would be with coding it into the car unless it is blank code?
  14. Is there power going to the unit (does it light up at all)?
  15. Number plate LED lamps are easy enough to replace just the bulb for an aftermarket one from Halfords Indicators can be more problematic as they need to have resistors fitted to ensure the flash rate is correct
  16. If is occurs at a specific temperature then I would advise changing the Coolant Temperature Sensor as this would cause similar issues at a specific temperature. Not too expensive to replace and should be an easy enough job to do
  17. Just started a new season of Sons of Anarchy and thoroughly enjoying the storyline
  18. we haven't had a decent snow storm here since the 1980's in Bournemouth
  19. Glad to hear the car is driving fine now Andy The filter is in the box under the sump, remove that and fit a new gasket at the same time. I would run it for a while to flush through any crud and then drain it down and remove the filter and fresh fluid once more
  20. It may be coming through the rear light unit as there is a gasket behind it that shrinks over time. Worth taking out and sealing with silicon and then refitting to see if that makes a difference
  21. I guess the best place to look is Wikipedia as they have reliable information on the models Also, How Many Left. https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/ lets you know the volumes produced of a certain model and how many are left on the road
  22. Hi.....welcome to the Forum Here is a link to Castrol's website which shows the oil specs you need not only for the engine but also gear oils are listed in the side column https://applications.castrol.com/oilselector/en_gb/c/search
  23. Hi Dave ..... welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard!
  24. It's probably leaking from the base of the windscreen. Best diagnostic method is to use a smoke generator which if placed in the footwell will show where smoke is leaking through
