If the car wasn’t used as much, I would also take it apart to have a look but knowing my luck I would run out of time and it would end in a divorce LOL
Thanks for sharing the findings

Thank you

Hi All A while ago I adjusted the cables as 1st gear was difficult to engage. All gears now 1 to 4 are so easy to get. 5th however can be hit and miss. I have been so reluctant to adjust all again and undo the adjustment I have already made to improve. There are 2 cables, is there a chance that one ...

Thanks, may well give it a try

Hi All Does any one know where I can get a replacement micro switch as its playing up and causing the yellow oil light to come on intermittently? I can see them on eBay overseas at around £37! and I am reluctant to just buy another second hand bonnet catch that comes with the switch in case I have t...

Hi All I have an oil leak and suspecting the rocker cover is leaking Am I correct in that there isn't actually a gasket but engine sealant is used instead? That's what Euros and GSF website seems to imply. 2 questions then :- Should there be a gasket and if so where to get it from? Any other places ...

Thanks.
I’ve just got the key
Looks like a pain of a job then
Thanks again

The passenger door lock is intermittent.
The only clue I have is that when I look the car from the drivers side I can hear the drivers motor whirring sound.
I am presuming the drivers door lock governs the passenger door side? If so, where do I need to look?
Thanks for any advice
Cheers

Is there something that needs lubricating or adjusting
Any suggestions much appreciated
Thank you

Great when it’s a quick fix and free LOL

I am losing oil and looking under the car I see oil has been running down the radiator hose from above. Any ideas where it’s coming from? What are the typical leaks in this area, rocker gasket?
It’s a 1.2 petrol 2004
Any help appreciated
Cheers
Andrew

Thanks for quick reply, I hope so

First of all my air on is not up to much and needs refilling. Looking underneath I can clearly see green fluorescent liquid on the compressor mainly on the wiring switch although it could run down from above or down the wire. Any thoughts would be appreciated for example, can the switch leak or woul...

Thanks, this makes sense
Much appreciated

Hi All, About 3 months ago I adjusted the gearbox linkage cable as getting reverse was iffy. All sorted now and gearbox is a dream except that recently getting 5th gear is a bit hit or miss. No crushing, just trying to get the gear lever in gear. There are 2 cables, is the 5th gear cable the same as...
