Vibration is usually caused by balance problems if you paid to have them balanced I would go back and have them checked...

mine shifts from high range to low range fine, but does not seem to want to go to the left to the lock position. Do I need to lift or push while pulling to the left or should it go to the left as smooth as it does from high to low? Thank you

That wire leading from the battery should be a fuseable link, meaning that that piece of wire will act as the fuse and melt breaking the connection if there is a problem. Can you ohm out the glow plugs, they should have very low resistance but not appear as dead shorts. I had a similar problem...

I found on mine there is a "rear fog enhancement" (or something to that effect)switch located just to the left of the gage cluster/speedo...when pressed it turns on my rear upper running lights. mine is the second toggle switch down from the top on the left side. This was an export model though...

Thanks for the septic origin. Like my president I try and make friends wherever I go. Sincerest apologies if my WW2 comment offended anyone, I have only read about your experiences as it was a bit before my time.

If you have a propane, or LPG tank around you might try firing it off on propane. I would check the compression about now. is the engine cranking over fast? faster or slower than normal? I would then try and find out how much pressure your getting out of your injection pump to the injectors. I...

I grew up, and went to school in the states, here I am forced to speak French which is as gawd awful an excuse for a language as I have come across, why we did not force them to give it up and learn a proper language in exchange for bailing them out in WW2 is beyond me. Thanks for the input on...

I'm in Tunisia, not sure what a septic is and I like to think that we have just adapted your language to fit our needs...

when I turn my headlight switch on to the first position I get dim headlights, but no orange marker lights, the orange marker lights only seem to work as directionals and hazards, is that normal? When I rotate the headlight switch to the second position the headlights get a little brighter...is...

since you think your coolant level is fine I was wondering if newer cars had vacuum actuated climate control systems, perhaps if so and you had a vacuum leak, or weak pump, when you are sitting at idle with your foot on the brake there is not enough vacuum to keep the climate control system in...

you could be low on coolant/ have air in the system, does your temperature gage behave normally?

well I pulled off the seat cover and found that the headrests are held in by the two rods in the center of the seatback, they are held in by a small metal clip, which I am not sure you can get at as they are a little over an inch(2.54cm) down from the plastic flange on the top. What I did since...

no one? I guess i will post what I find out tomorrow..am I calling these headrests the right name? they have an open center and sort of handle like ears on them...They are on the front seats only...

I was going to put some seat covers on but did not see an easy way to remove the head rests, is there an easy way? is it just a brute strength pull? Thanks

That nailed it, one bad solder joint and it's as good as new. The job was easy enough with your guidance, though I made it harder than it had to be by removing the ecu box from the car instead of just sliding out the circuit board....

isn't the UK metric? I assumed he was talking km/hr, the speedo in mine, though not for UK, I guess as its LHD, is in km.....I was running about 90-100km/hr...are your roads marked in km or miles? do you buy gas in litres, gallons, or imperial gallons? I was surprised when looking through this...

I have a bit of oil leaking out on the right side of the engine I notice it around the end of the vacuum pump, the end away from where it mounts to the block,If I dry it all off I cant seem to get it to leak at idle or fast idle, but if I drive around and check the end of the pump is wet with...

Thanks I will break out the iron tomorrow!

sounds exactly like what mine did when my head gasket went, the head pressure checked fine and they were able to give it a light surfacing cut and install a thicker gasket, the gasket had failed between cylinders as well as into the water jacket, I would not write of the bottom end, pull the...

Since I got this car the light on the dash seems to work as I would expect, it comes on for several seconds first thing in the morning and then for a shorter time in subsequent starts. I found yesterday that the power wire coming of the battery was broken, so I repaired it, but thought it was...
