Thanks Tony, I'll ring him tomorrow. Pishing down here so won't be doing it for a few days anyway!!

Hi guys, Bit of a stretch here but does anyone have a couple of the small allen bolts that fix the sensor into the hub. Happy to pay a bit. If you've got some, let me know. Cheers Rob

Hi Daz, Couple of years since you posted that and it's an excellent guide. Got a similar problem and though I'm away working at the moment, I will be doing mine when I'm home so thanks for the confidence booster. As you say, all good advice on here and nice to give something back. Cheers Rob

Thanks for the info discool.

Hi guys, A quick question for you...how many filaments should there be inside the MAF? In an effort to cure a rough running problem while still cold, I swapped out/cleaned most of the sensors, including replacing the MAF and lubricating a stiff turbo actuator, I was doing this to rule them out...

Hi guys, just an update on the re-con pump. I've done a fair bit of mileage since fitting it, including a trip down to the Lake District from home in the Highlands and it's been fine, no untoward noises and handling is dramatically improved. No leaks either! So, Discodriver, either I got a good...

Good point about the guarantee....just doesn't fit with UK laws. Fit for purpose is the phrase to bear in mind. Thanks for the input Discodriver, good info mate. I paid just over ninety quid for the recon unit and, as said, fingers crossed it's a good un. Gav, the pump comes as a sealed unit...

Fingers crossed then Discodriver.....I've got to fit the bumper back on now and fit the lights as they've arrived at last. I'll post on here if it sounds crap but stationary movement it sounds fine. Thanks for the heads up though. Cheers Rob

I checked the belt for condition, damage etc once it was off. It appeared fine so popped it inside the car for safe keeping. Belt off so I undid the three bolts on the pulley and removed the pulley wheel. The mess from the slow leak was now evident but also easy to see were the four fixing bolts...

Undo the fastenings on the fan cover and remove. Undo the bolts on the engine cover and remove. First thing I did was to open the reservoir lid then get a very clean container to collect the fluid. I lay underneath and undid the lower jubilee clip on the low pressure pipe, the bottom one on the...

Suns out, brew done, crack on!

Hi guys. Never done this before so I thought I'd put a few pics together for any other diy-er like me. Finally managed to source a new O ring for the lower low pressure inlet pipe attachment but it turned out not to be that after all. So, I ordered a reasonably priced new (rebuilt) pump from...

Update on this one. So far: The reclaimed wing was a result. It's the same colour and in better nick. Lights off fleabay coming. Good ones this time. I got a pair off a breaker and not one fastening was intact. Returned 'em after a phone call to say they were not 'fit for purpose' and could not...

Just to update this post. Set of facelift head lights bought off fleabay. Someone may buy the N/S one if not it'll be on here and fleabay. It has slight damage, the side screw fastening is sheared off. Both were like that. Having replaced a side light bulb some time ago, I know this is common...

This is why I'm a member on here. Well done guys. Interesting read and the levels of patience shown. Advice as usual first class. Cheers Rob
