Evening all! I’ve seen a few discussion about DIY headlining on the 90s but no huge detail (unless my search is just poor?). I would like to fit some headlining, and probably carry this down the back walls in the rear of the 90. I don’t want...

Hello. I recently replaced all the front suspension arms of the vehicle myself. Needing an front end alignment I contacted the local workshop as I assumed this would be a straight forward job. But surely they called me and said that I've...

So today I've finished off changing my trailing arm bushes, got one done yesterday and did the other today, so that's the pair done and cleaned up/painted. I only had to cut one bolt as well so that's a win, some kind previous owner put copper...

Nope it should look like this....

Undo that nut on the top, in the middle, the bottom and canister will drop out ... Heres what a new one looks like ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222520618352 Other sellers exist

Pressing the mileage reset gets rid of the airbag fault message until the next ignition cycle.

I bought some glow in the dark fluid stuff a while back which you add to your oil, and then spot potential leaks using a black-light UV torch. Helped me find a couple of leaks, but only after I’d jet washed the hell out of what was there already...

Had to use look the tinterweb to search for Wickes. There's one in Stirling cant see me ever going there to see what they got same as Jewsons, beatsons B&Q ect ect I had a blonde moment & couldnt process wix :rolleyes: Never seen yin of them...

Started taking the rad out of the scrapper then realised it was original and being an automatic had no fittings for the manual cooler. Reassembled, bled etc. and lost an hour. Went for the red one and took the rad out. Swapped both it and the...

Where did you get the chandelier in your conservatory 😉

Does it have a smooth back. If so that's your problem. Genuine are slightly rough finish Griff

The 2.0ltr🤔

This one…?

No, far more old-skool NA 1275 Metro. :)

@DanClarke does yer mini engine look like this one…?

Look on fleabay. Are yours the same size as the LR standard bracket?

Thanks 😊

7 litres is too much. They take just under 6 when drained, IIRC. I think 6.8 for a dry fill. You’ll need to remove some. It’s about 1 litre between min and max on the dipstick.

I just back off the locknuts push the rod towards MC then move nuts so it’s nipped without free play then back off the nut nearest MC 1.6mm by eye move rod back away from MC then nip far nut up , hopefully make sense looking at diagram. You...

At least if the problems do return after this MAF sensor has been in for a while, you know to get a replacement Bosch one.

How about putting board on top of the seats ?(either on the seat part or back rest) Put a few uprights to support this. Make it so it folds in the middle or in 2 pieces (then You could slide it onto the floor for storage)

I loosen from below with a flex spanner, then working from above - unscrew by hand and remove upwards. You can just get it through.

Hi, see image

Hi, Does anyone know the part number for Mintex front brake pads for a 2013 SD4 (HSE Auto) Many thanks - Ian

Progress so far... Air box etc out of the way. Upper intake manifold off. Lower intake manifold, coil packs, fan, belts, pulleys, coolant hoses and rocker covers etc. Heads off. The problem cylinder, all liners look and feel ok for...

I don't really know how to gauge the clearance. It says 1.6mm but what do you measure? Also surely the pedal should never hit the floor no matter how hard you press it? Not touched the adjusters on the drum yet, too busy trying to get the air...

That’s a shame, sometimes you just need to have a cup of tea and cool down , that’s all part of the learning process, did you get the required clearance in the master cylinder pushrod and brake adjusters not binding can’t think what else would...

So update, pedal felt okay until I got it off the axle stands and then brakes were locked on. Fiddled about with the master cylinder and now have brakes locked on and pedal still able to go to floor with effort or no brakes at all. Giving up and...

Honestly I don’t think it’s done anything to the chassis heat wise as all copper cables are intact, even the abs sensor cable at the site of the fire start, the aluminium rear quarters are melted but that’s only 650c, if copper cables are all...
