First off been a while since I posted on here! I'm Overhauling a Brake master cylinder I replaced to use as a spare and also to learn something from it. Seal kit was £3.60 from Paddocks so worth a shot at that price. Its a Brake master cylinder for a 90" (NRC9592). I took the old one...

Just been poking around my 200TDI today and noticed something quite critical! My Wastegate controller valve on my turbo had been replaced with a spring on a tethered wire connected to the wastegate lever! Now why would this be done? Maintaining higher pressure for a wound up injector pump...

Got a bit of an odd problem: Now I have an oil leak on my 200tdi ("yeh what else is new!" I hear you cry), so I'll just post this picture and you'll see my point: The Previous owner did a bodge job with a bit of hacked hydraulic pipe and some copper fittings on this particular 200TDI to...

I have a 200TDI plonked into a series 3 and the pipe coming from the oil filter housing loops back into it. I assume there is supposed to be an oil cooler where the loop is supposed to be. The radiator is the standard one for the Series3, turbo is not intercooled either, so I've been...

got a problem. My diff pinion oil seal is leaking again. Now I may have bought the wrong one last time I'm not sure. So is there anything on the differential that could tell me which seal is needed (stamped numbers, etc.) Its a 4 bolt flange on a 20-odd spline shaft (gave up counting...

This is more for the newbies. (and for those directing newbies to the right page) The other day, I found that my handbrake wasn't to its usual standards (not good when your trialing on a 1:3 hill!) did some poking around on here, and even buster bus had no pictures of the adjuster and...

Chris is feeling blue and needs a little rest - YouTube bit of a fall over the other day!

Apart from the basic repairs that ae needed currently to my motor, I'm looking to upgrade a few things that will improve things when trailing it. Thought I'd run them by, and see if anyone can advise me on product choices or better ways of doing things. Currently as my motor stands: series...

After weeks of faffing around with the front end of me vehicle, I've gained some findings into whats causing my wheel wobble and ways to fix it. So I'd basically like to share it, but I think the best place for it is in the problems and faults section. But I can't post in there, so who do I...

EPAS keeps dropping out on me girlfriends FIAT (SERIOUSLY: Who the f~@k thought EPAS was a good idea!!). Faults down to a few things, either a dikkie alternator or poorly battery. Any one got a stilo they're breaking/ in a scrap yard/ driven into the Italian embassy that i can pull an...

so I thought I'd repaired my fuel gauge problem. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f16/fuel-level-sender-resistance-series-2-a-176090.html but turns out I'm back to square 1. The sender was reading odd again the other day and then eventually read EMPTY, even the low fuel light came on (least now I...

So this weekend, this happened: Yep that was a CV joint :( I'll admit it now, it was my own fault, driver error, lack of judgement on my part. however, from the ashes on all that, I've got a line on a new joint and was thinking of making a how-to on refitting a CV joint. Who'd I talk to...
