Nightmare! i just managed to get my car up the drive after a few attempts tonight. my drive has a bit of a slope to it, but nothing major. i turned off, left her in gear and put the handbrake on hard. popped the boot and went round to unload the shopping, and being a lazy **** i always try to take all the bags in in one go, no matter how many there are lol. as i just grabbed the 2nd to last bag and balanced it somewhere on my forearm (i had about 11 asda bags hanging off me by now) the bloody car slid down the drive!!!!! knocking me down and luckily pushing my down behind it :-( but more importantly it ran over one of my cans of caffreys!!!!!!!!! to be fair it came…

Evening, ive had smoked lights on most of my cars with a spare set for MOT's, But with this car spares are pricey. So im wondering if they are actually legal or not? Ive had jet black before and the light can still be seen through them. Is it just a case of the reflector must still be seen? Thanks Mark (im talking about the rear lights btw, but im thinking of doing the front stuff black also)

This might seem a daft thing to do but can it be done ? Theres so many things i would like to add to my 1996 series 4 but cant as theres no parts about as easily as a series 2. Couple of things i'm on about would be cruise, stock turbo guage, series 2 electronic heating controls. I was thinking if i get a new engine loom, ecu and dash loom can it be done ?

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...?

Hello does anyone had this problem? If oil sensor worn out is it just a oil pressure gauge stop working or is that more serious that all oil pressure in engine is gone? 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…
