Ok ratty, so how easy are these FANBELTS to change?

So these drivebelts, do they need changing? If so, is it an easy job and how much are they? Nick

Morning all, after the downpour of snow not far from where I live yesterday I decided I would go and have a play in it. So was driving along a country road when I came across a puddle (or small lake) and when I went through the water was splashing around in my wheel arches. Then I realised that...

Yeah mate there was six of us and we managed to get the supplies in. Drink drink drink drink oh and a spare set of undies!

Renault Espace, they are a 7 seater and are really good on a long run. We had to do a weekend away with work and that is what they hired us. Powers on the motorway and is smooth round the doors. Nick

I am no good with my hands so this will be a nightmare for me, I think I might just sell them on. lol

The guy I got them off said that they were a easy fit. So what are these nutserts???

Evening all, I bought some 2nd hand side steps off ebay for £50. So I went and collected them and when I have got them home I cant seem to get them to fit. They came with 6 nut and bolts with what can only be described as a hook on the end. I am assuming that there is meant to be holes...

Paddychip, you never mentioned that it cut out. All you have said is that you ahve trouble starting it. If it is the cam sensor which I have said then the chances are it wont show up on that diagnostic. Read my previous threads, Ming told me that the fault would not show up as it is an...

Well if PAddychip changes his cam sensor and his hippo starts then I am guessing that it does. If it doesnt start then I give you permission to call me names ;)

I cant confirm it but the garage that done my warranty work had a Rover 75 in that was having the same problem and they told me they could get it started off a bump. Nick

Check out this link, I believe they have gone into administration. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f21/tyres-direct-north-administration-50468.html?highlight=tyres+north Nick

This really does work johnt. It has something to do with the electro somethings in your body which can send a stronger signal further. Wierd! Nick

I am guessing that it is because it wont fire. The car turns over but wont start, at least that is what I am thinking. I was told that a hippo would start off a bump if the cam sensor is fooked. Couldnt try it with mine as it is a auto. Nick

The way the garage explained it to me was that the cam sensor and crank sensor talk to each other. The cam sensor is used when starting (and thats all) and the crank sensor for something else. Apparently the likelyhood of the crank sensor going is very slim. Like I said the cam sensor is a...

Hi Paddy, if the starter motor is turning but the hippo wont fire up it may well be the cam sensor. When the engine warms up so does this sensor and then it locks open preventing the beast from starting, its a common fault. Had the same problem with mine only last week, the garage changed the...

The Td4's are 2.0ltr. Just so you know. The fbh work when it is really cold outside (5c or below). It uses fuel from your tank to warm your motor up quicker. Nick

My hippo is a 52my Td4 Auto GS Station Wagon. On this link the base we bought is the one on the left. We were going to buy the isofix one but were not sure if the car was compatible. Search Results - Mamas & Papas Cheers Nick

Redhand, the carseat we have bought has a base unit. It stays in the car and the seat clips onto it and then the belt just goes around it.

Cheers for that Ming, it had crossed mind after 40mins of messing around.
