Hi, When I'm driving along my headlights and dash lights are dimming. The lights aren't going out, it's like there pulsing a bit. Don't know if it's battery, alternator or connection, but reckon if it was a connection they'd probably be going out all together? Doesn't seem to do it at tick...

Hi, Can I ask if there is any clutch adjustment on an 1989 90? Over the past month or so I've lost at least 50% on the pedal, so it's now only biting right at the bottom. So if there's no adjustment it looks like I may be need a clutch pretty soon! :eek: Thanks in advance.

Hi Folks, Having problems getting 2nd gear, it just crunches in. Strangely though it selects fine at stand still, it's only when moving. 1,3 & 4 all ok, although sometimes 1st can be a bugger selecting (very tight). Also has fairley overdrive which works fine in all gears. Do you reckon this...

Hi folks, Wondered if you could advise. My 83 2.25 diesel is really smokey at startup and for longer than 10 secs. But once it's been running for a short while it's fine. Any suggestions as to what could be causing this? I'm new to diesel engines only ever had petrol. Not sure how to setup...
