Hi, I get a sound from underneath when I take my foot off the accelerator - on all speeds over 20 mph. The faster I happen to be when I take my foot off the faster the ticking / clicking sound is. No sound when slowly accelerating or going up a slope. As per previous advice I removed the...

Hi folks, Following my earlier thread about transmission noise - wammer suggested front diff nose bearing - which will do soon. My mechanic was driving the car and reckons the tranfer box is suspect. What would make the noise in the TB when lifting off the gas ? Re rear propshaft I saw a...

Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this and what was the reason. When starting up from cold there is no book symbol. A/C is off by the way - after a few minutes when the temp needle has moved up a bit into the blue zone the symbol appears. The various air vent switches do their job and the...

Hi folks, The drivers head restraint in my car is at the lowest position - pressing the "up" control has no effect - neither does cycling through up and down. I can hear a whirring sound though - so electric motor must be OK. What could have happened and can anyone advise how to restore...

Hi all, No cold air from the vents - was hoping one of you more knowledgable members could point me in the right direction. Have done the usual search and only partly successful. The compressor does kick in - and the thinner pipe from the compressor heats up quite quickly. It was...

Hi folks, After I remove the flaking "fuzz" from the interior trims I was hoping to source some sort of covering for them - I could leave them cleaned up and plain or try and cover them with new leather ( could be a pain ). Ideally hoping for some sort of "clip on " solution maybe to match...
