I bought a new one as I thought the old one wasnt very good. Just put the new one on, think I dont it how the manual says, let the bolt out that holds the tension in, and it never really pushed out. Thats why I bought a new one as the old one didnt do that. Do they not push out, only not stop pulling back in. Or dont they push as hard as I think they will?

My A/C compressor has failed - the magnetic clutch is at fault, and the rest of the system works okay. It's a '92 N/A Import, fitted with a Zexel Compressor. I can only get hold of the Hitachi type compressor. Does anyone know where I can get a Zexel Compressor from (2nd hand), OR if the Hitachi Compressor will fit on the Zexel mounting points? pipe locations match? Pulley centre matches? Thanks, Dave

Slightly delayed my order with Image just to make sure my alloys sold ok. Now they have I'm ready to go ahead, so just need to choose between my favorite four. See what you think. One of them looks almost identical to the Trafficstars I've just sold, but the good thing is I can now have them not just in a bigger width fitment but custom made so the centre is recessed as far back to the hub as possible to create a huge dish. (two below are the same but can be used with or without the locking plate which changes the look of them)

The one inisde the drivers footwell, it's all very wet in there and the connectors had water dripping out of them when I pulled them apart. Is this likely to be coming in through the scuttle somewhere or windscreen or is there another likely reason? anyone had a similar problem before. The long story ...........

Anyway I did a bit of experimenting and thought I had an altenator fault, but my multimeter told me a different story. Battey was 12V and altenator was charging at 14.3V when the engine was running.
