Does any one know where the relay and fuse for the radio/satnav is located on my 2007 diesel SE as it some times flickers on and off. Can't understand the elec wiring diagram. Degs

Afternoon all, traded in my Hippo for a F.L. 2 07 plate diesel SE (lovely) I have one small problem, occasionally the Sat nav and radio start switching off and on, this usually clears itself if I switch ign off and on again. What I have noticed is if the reversing sensors operate the radio...

2006 BMW engine, left engine running to defrost windows, came back 5 mins later to find diesel leaking from the engine under tray. Nothing to see from lifting bonnet. Stopped engine and leak stopped. This has happened once before and wondered if it had anything to do with the heater behind the...

How much 2 stroke oil to a tank please.

05 3door diesel. Does any one know of a cheap Gas Strut replacement that sits under the tailgate door rather than pay the robbers. I noticed the other week that the tailgate slammed shut, later I discoverd oil on the rear plastic plate under the T/gate. Cheers Degs

I was quoted from £450 to £650 most garages didn't want to know, the problem for the DIY is the weight of both gearboxes.

My club is looking to fit a winch on the rear of our old Dexter tractor, we are looking towards an electric 12 volt one. Altough the Dexter has a PTO shaft and a hyraulics socket we think it is easier and cheaper to go electric. The the tractor is used on the beach. My question is what pulling...

New clutch master cyclinder fitted 0n a 56reg Td4 with 25,000 miles.

I have the same problem on my TD4 05, 25,000 miles new master cylinder fitted tired of bleeding it. Spoke to a mechanic today and he says he cured the problem by bleeding in reverse, ie, a large syringe filled with cluch fluid pushed into the bleed nipple and filling up the reservoir. I have...

Just bled mine and the lock nut does turn by hand and doesn't leak.

Master cylinder £100 ( check out Ebay) easy enough job to change. (if you go this route ask me as I have just been down it)If same fault continues then it looks like the slave cylinder which is internal = gearbox out = £500 = 8 hrs to a garage. Try driving in second gear then change to 4th and...

Had trouble changing gear so I have replaced the master cylinder but still have the same problem, have tried bleading. (Its easier just to change the cylinder than complete with pipe as its very hard to get at the joint connection.) How harder job is it to replace the slave cylinder ? as I will...

Dan I noticed you said you removed your props from April to October, can you tell me why. Cheers degs

Td4 o5 reg, I have noticed over the last 6 weeks I have had to make sure I fully depress the clutch pedal. At first I thought it was the rubber mat stopping the travel (wishfull thinking) it's only done 25,000 miles and I got it at 14,000. The cluch starts to bite about an inch out. I am sure...

Had the same problem, found out it was a fuse blown, see if your brake lights are working.
