Re: Screenwas leak 2003 1.2. Reservoir?

Good stuff, maybe now check/correct all the other wheel bolts on that car! Baler twine, ah, I know someone that claims that if you use enough of that, you can compress road springs and tie the springs up tightly and remove them "sort of safely" - I'd always give that use of baler twine a ...

Well that wasn't too bad. The worst bit was loosening the wheel bolts. Ridiculously overtightened by some gorilla. With the wheel off it was a case of removing a handful of Torx screws that secure the front section of the wing liner. It was then possible to pull the wing liner toward the rear of the...

2004 1.2 hatchback - rear light question

Just spent a day investigating water leaking into boot on this car (my daughters). Discovered several things: Minor bump was repaired 'on the cheap' 3 years ago as guilty party (not her) knew the boss of a body shop. Nearside tail light was damaged but not replaced. Retaining clips broken off, capti...
