Reet, this is becoming slightly tedious now... I have re-built all 4 calipers, put them back on, but wouldn't bleed properly, just constant air coming through, and bubbles rising to the surface of the resovoir... So, master cylinder goosed.. Got a seal kit, rebuilt it, now it bleeds fine, have got all the air out of all four corners and the ABS unit... But, with a few pumps, the pedal goes hard, but if pressure is kept on the pedal, it will push down to the floor in about 5 seconds. Also, the ABS light is on, could this have anything to do with it? Perhaps a knackered solenoid or something? Any help would be massively appreciated, as it is starting to irritate me! I …

For a jap, the number is : 4PK1010, will a 4PK1013 do? It's only 3mm longer...?

Because my car have this problem oil gauge is showing low and engine is shaking, is that can be that is no oil pressure at all in my engine? I left my car with this problem for 3 weeks and now today I decide to try to have a look I turn engine on and after half minute engine turns off and after that is doesn't start at all. Is this oil sensor can course this problem?

I had a banging from under the car for a while and suspected it to be either the gearbox mount or the centre prop bearing. After obtaining another front prop piece from slick pete:bow: I took it to the garage to get sorted this morning. I can tell you that my centre bearing, no longer had a bearing :no: completely gone, just the ring left lol. So after the new one fitted, banging gone. I have a bit of vibration now :wacko: but i think a turn 180deg may sort it out, but im not too bothered about it for the minute. Will wait till the weather gets a bit better and do it myself rather than going back to the garage. I took a spare new gearbox mount with me too just in…

Ok, I've been trying to find out what Toad I have on my car, I think its a Ai606. I went out to try to identify it and the fob isn't unlocking the car! The fob seems fine, the green light illuminates when I press the buttons. The dashboard LED is flashing red and very quickly. I haven't really paid attention to it before, so not sure if this is normal, but something tells me it should be flashing slower. The alarm has been fine, although it had started beeping 5 times on activation which apparently indicates a problem with the bonnet switch...which I wasn't too concerned about yet. It is freezing, the car has several inches of snow on it. I think so…

Looking for more help please, my car seems to intermittently on the gauge show its overheating, but within a few seconds can quickly drop back to normal temperature and sometimes, if i pull over it will drop to cold start position, but then quickly rise up again. the electric fan however never cuts in even if the gauge shows the car is on the red line of overheating, there are no water leaks, both sides of the radiator are warm, and the thermostat and radiator have been replaced in the last few weeks.. also if left stationary once warm, the temp gauge will slowly drop and show closer to the 1/4 mark in stead of remaining in the middle, and sometimes less.. …

You may remember that my car failed its MOT in May because of excessive smoke on idle and heavy acceleration. I changed the PCV valves and 34 of the pipes and all seemed OK and it passed its MOT. Well over the last few weeks I have noticed a smoke again after idling for 5 minutes or more. After about 10 minutes of idling the smoke stops though. When I installed the valves, I noticed that there was no spring pushing the ball bearing out, it moved freely when shaken. I though this odd until I looked at the pipes and their appeared to be something metal in two of the pipes, so assumed these were valves. Have I installed the wrong valves or maybe put the pipes…

My new exhaust is rubbing slightly against this shield that runs across the back of the car and is making an annoying screeching noise. What does this shield do and can it be removed / jigsawed down to size?
