Possibly glowplugs but I had a problem with my relay which is located under the bonnet inside the ecu box behind the battery,I literally had to tap the relay a few times to get the car started,after doing this for a few weeks I finally took the relay out and cleaned and tightened all the...

Great price considering the "damage" that was inflicted with the daughters bike!!!!!!!!!!! An honest Ebayer is hard to find!!!!!.

My temp gauge was only just out of the blue and the garage said that all cars temp gauge should be halfway as mine is now the thermostat has been replaced and I aint had no trouble at all,I suggest you just keep an eye on it or chuck £30 at it for peace of mind.

When mine started overheating,everything pointed to the head gasket so I was dreading the bill from the garage but it turned out to be the thermostat which had thrown one so only cost me £30,I had the engine pressure tested to twice its capacity and the head was fine,apparently its very unusual...

Future reference people,Just as I was about to fork out muchas $$$ I checked the relay and found the bolt that holds the bracket was very loose and also an Earth,tightened it up and problem solved.Moral of story...Check ya Nuts and Tighten before loosening your wallet!

Thanks for that,found it,checked it,all seems okay,got a burning smell from a relay in the fuse box,was wondering if any of these are connected with the heater plugs?

Been a while since I posted as had no problems at all,famous last words,getting no feed to the glow plugs so want to check the relay and fuse but scratching my head as to the whereabouts of either ivor! Any help will be great,thanks ya'll.

Find an independent,you'll get a much better deal.

Hi Rob,just been to Ma's for dinner and passed the garage,so heres the number for Autotronix 01142648038 or 07778396654

Rob,theres an auto electrician on City rd Sheffield,used him a few time he's approx £45.00 to fault find and reset,I'll look for his number,he's opp the big cemetery.

After the coil conversion I'd say mine stands between standard height and off road height,a set of decent shocks and away you go,you should hardly notice the difference except you'll no longer be thinning your wallet!

I can see wills point in avoiding "castration" but how far do you go and how much do you spend? I live in a rural part of Ireland with zero RR dealers anywhere close so when it let me down (again & again!) I was fecked,for me it was the best option.

Got my kit from Paddocks nr Matlock. £325ish,comes with Bypass link,absolute piece of **** to fit if you can get the use of a 4post lift,took two of us just over two hrs to do the whole thing,didn't change shocks but am going to when I have a few quid to spare,she handles just the same,she don't...

Had nowt but trouble with my EAS so bit the bullet and went to coils,Its a great weight off your back knowing it aint gonna let u down,best thing I did,unless your a real anorak you wont tell the difference unless you go off road with it.

the cure for putting ya headrest back to front is to twist the plastic sleeve so the catch dont catch,I'd say wisdom not common sense won the day,oh and about an hr of ****ing about with it!
