  7. Whats this pipe on the back of the instrument cluster? i've never even seen one on my car! should there be something else on the back of mine apart from the cluster connector?
  8. thanks for that :) i changed the stat a few days ago, removing the pas pump wasn't too bad and the after buying 3 faulty alternators from a national motor factor i've become a dab hand a changing them. i@m going to bleed the system again in a bit in the hope that it cures itself............. if not then its pump and probable radiator change this weekend or next :( out of interest, i've had my car for 6 years and its always had the black cap on the coolant tank, whats with the blue ones people change to? ---------- Post added at 4:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 3:08 PM ---------- Right, so i have been outside for 40mins with the car from running from cold. Put the heating on full and started it up. Removed the radiator cap and got it up to temperature. its sitting round 90 water and 110-112 oil. The radiator is nice and hot and both pipes are warm too. I couldn't get it hot enough for the first stage fan to even cut in. I am assuming then, with the failure of the fan switch and thermostat that whilst changing i must have caused an air lock somewhere that has now cleared. does this seem like it could be the culprit? I shall monitor the temps for a while and see what happens
  9. is there a free android version?
  10. After searching i have found plenty of info but not all that i need. Car started getting a lot hotter than usual after this recent cold snap, It started when i left the car running to demist the windows. The water temp light started flashing. (this has only happened once before a few summers back when i had a wiring issue with the fan). I assumed that the thermostat had failed as the top hose was hot and the bottom wasn't once it was up to temp. After replacing the thermostat, the same thing was happening unless i took the car for a spin then both hoses were hot. I also noticed that the fan was only coming on at the last stage (110?) so i changed the radiator fan switch also. Now the fan comes on at both speeds around where you would expect looking at the dash but it is still running hot. Driving the car at a normal 60 its hovering around 100 water and 120 oil but if i sit and wait it climbs to around 110/130 with the fan going at full chat. (This also happened tonight and its only about 2 degrees outside) The heaters are working, i am losing no coolant and there are no signs of the head gasket failing. I haven't 'overheated' and broken down with steam billowing out but i'm worried i will. I am assuming that the water pump has packed in and it is not circulating properly unless it is revving high (could this explain why the thermostat is only opening when driving?). How hard is changing the water pump? Is it slam panel and everything off? Or quickly whip off the alternator and power steering pump for access job? Any ideas would be great, pictures even better if there is a guide to changing the water pump. Thanks in advance, Darren
  11. Well i can meet after, just thought as you know where the office is lol. My breaker is in a lockup near the walks. if you go up past Greyfriars school from london road its just up there (Near the Lord Napier pub). If you want to meet after 6, we can go check what its like as its still on the car.
  12. can you meet me at my work after 5.30 tomorrow?? I think i may have one :)
  13. lol, i thought i might have got it wrong after i sent the pics................ i have the centre (where the radio etc are) on another car. I'll check the condition and let you know.
  14. mine does this on the passenger side once in a while. I don't use that window very often so it seems to stick sometimes. I sprayed some silicone spray down the gides and it was fine for a good year or so. Started to do it again recently so must do it again. I'd try something like that first, its cheap and may just sort it.
  15. That's what i done and its def not right, got the nuts holding the actuator off, but couldn't work out how to remove the rod to the cap. I didn't want to break it though as it didn't want to come out and wasn't sure if i had missed a fixing
  16. Done that, feels like its slipped out of a track of something. If i wiggle it about it sometimes works. Been iffy for ages but its packed up totally packed up now.
  17. Everything else works fine, so its not an air leak, but my fuel cap won't lock. I have a car I am breaking and was going to change the mechanism and see if it fixed the issue. However, i seems like a right pita to do. Before i go in and break anything, any advice? Thanks, Darren
  18. could you use parts from the bases of original seats to modify the runners? i have a couple of stripped seats that could help you if you needed to this ;)
  19. I brought one a while back and it was awesome!!!!! its not working now though..... think its the relays. I was wondering if you could PM me the p/number to replace them?? One of the best mods you can do and excellent quality product!
