I am just in the process of moving from a D2 to a D3, the ne I am buying had a factory fit car kit installed. In the centre cubby box under the lid is some wiring that I am told can be fitted with some gizmo that will connect with my phone to get hands free. Is that correct and what do I...

Yes, I know there is a leak......:-) But I am asking what the cause of the leak may be, are there any common issues? Is the pump knackered or just a seal/gasket?

ACE Amber light and leaking fluid My ACE warning light has just come on. Red first so I stopped, turned off the engine and restarted and light stayed off for a few miles then came on amber. Pulled over and checked the fluid level and it is down a little then noticed a leak under the...

Slave cylinder changed and system bled and it is like a new clutch. Works a treat.

Just spoken to my mechanic, dropping it in later for them to check the system. He feels it may be the clutch itself though he has done a slave cylinders and the fork as well.

Thanks Garage ringing back later when they have a slot. Have noticed the issue becomes worse if the car is used for a longer period of time. Fine at first start up but do a 15mile run along the road and very stiff at the end of the trip

Have noticed over the last couple of days gear changes have become a little stiff, especially reverse where today I had to coast backwards to get it into gear. Out on the road it is generally fine. I have also just noticed that the clutch bites almost as soon as it is lifted from the floor so...

Very many thanks.

One other thought and would like some input from you guys. As you can see a fair portion of the unde3rside is nicely coated in oil. On the one hand no bad thing as a bit of added rust protection but I am a little concerned about the safety aspect. I drive down the road, wet day, and I will be...

Thanks Do we know which pipe feeds the passenger side air bag?

Is there anyway to deflate the air bags manually? Would like to lower the high side before driving the car again. Thanks

Manager of the garage has just popped out. On showing him the housing and how the bolts just drop in he accepts the problem though "Jim" who did the work said he did not notice anything doing the job. Manager then said it could be as it was over tightened before and on releasing the bolts they...

Some pics of the underside and rear, does not show the oil very clearly on the rear door but the whole thing is slick with it:

Tanks for the thoughts, but already lifted the lid of and the threads are gone in both bolt holes. The bolts simply drop down through the holes with their own weight. On one bolt there is a shard of the thread caught on the threads on the bolt. Just waiting for a call back from the...

Just checked the bill for service, on the 6th Dec. Secondary oil filter fitted so looks more and more like the goosed the thread in the housing.
