Thanx hatty! I'll nip in to my local dealer manana and have a go! Cheers.

M Reg 1994 Disco. Handbook says it is OXFORD BLUE. I want to spray paint small areas where I have sanded down surface visible rust. Undercoated with grey primer. Struggling to find a spray paint whose colour cap looks like my blue. I have tried a visual check of the can caps outside the shop in...

Cheers Dripper. SI844 if you ain't got anti-roll bars, do you get seasick wen going around corners? :-)

What are sway bars?

People, What the F**k is the dreaded SPIDER?

Right guyz, here's the latest info. Battery has been on trickle charge since 2:45. I've just disconnected charger and checked battery voltage. 12.98V, then 5 secs later 12.95v, then 5 secs later 12.93V etc., steady now at 12.01v. So the battery is obviously simply knackered (where have I heard...

Daer jonnyecosse, we've all had a bit of fun for the past hour or so, but did you ever get an answer (thay you accept) to your question about (+ve to battery or to chassis - diesel or petrol why different in manual)?? Cos I can't think of any difference at all.

I have just fitted a snorkel to my wife's exhaust pipe. Somehow this produced a massive gain in smiles per gallon, but I don't know why. Can anybody enlighten me? p.s. PastMaster, your'e right about Norton only working on bikes. I shuda known anyway 'coz I bought mine from Halfrauds.

Cheers Guyz. I haven't really done a thorough check for loose wires, but I think that I'll try wot Ratty sez first as I am quite good at making tactical withdrawals (so the wife says). I bet it is the battery even if it does look quite pretty and clean. Will let you know what the result is...

Dear Ratty, don't jump straight in to the old defrag solution. Try using Norton Utilities on the onboard computer first. Or maybe you have a virus or something, try McAfee Antivirus. i was surprised to find out that the japanese have now developed a method of spreading diesel variant viruses...

Battery is 3 years old. I accept that it 'could' be the battery, but as I am as tight as a duck's posterior, I am allergic to spending arounf £50 for a new one if its summat as simple as a loose or wet wire somewhere. But, yeh, it could be the battery.

We are not allowed to import Russian or Ukrainian Spark Plugs into Britain because they are designed to work only with old Soviet style 'RED' electricity, and here in Britain (read the EU) all of our Diesel Engines are designed to use 'Multicultural' electricity to generate sparks in the...

300Tdi M Reg , NO Electric sunroofs. Me Battery keeps going flat. It looks to be in good condition and it was holding charge for weeks on end a month or so ago. Car starts OK with Jump leads (3 - 4 turns of engine and it starts). But next morning, battery can only just turn engine over...

Yup, I agree wiv wot Paul D said about the idle speed. However, please tell us more about what you mean by "doesnt seem to go very well unless i hold the revs on about 2000 for about 10 secs ". Do you mean you do this once and once only just after starting the engine, or do you need to set the...

Thanks Hatty!! I'll take mosey on down to me local motor factors and git one ASAP! Cheers!
