id be inclined to take it to a car alarm specialist anyone familiar with car alarms would manage this no problems and probarly quicker/cheaper than a garage that is asking for wiring diagrams

i have removed the rear hanger bracket and used a rubber mount to cure a knock i had similar to this [ATTACH=CONFIG]84800[/ATTACH] it stops it moving and hitting the rear axle as theres not a lot of room between floor and axle if lowered. i also fitted heavy duty rubbers to the other hangers

Be careful if using Hammerite. Make sure you never get brake fluid on it or it will bubble and come off! Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Problem with leaking brake reservoir seals? any ideas?
STU175 replied to STU175's topic in Drivetrain
thanks for the reply ill take a photo when im there next. i did have to push fairly hard to get it in, i felt it pop into place tho and it cant go in any more theres no gap between reservoir and seal thats why im confused why its started leaking? ill have to drain it,pull it out i suppose see whats going on.....:bonk: one step forward 3 steps back it seems at the moment... -
ive fitted a brand new vw reservoir, master cylinder and vw seals but have noticed a tiny leak from the 2 rubber seals? its been fine for the last few months after bleeding it all up, have applied the brake numerous times to check all was ok but now it has a small leak? the car hasnt been driven as im still putting the rest of it back together. has anyone had a similar problem? how did you solve it annoyed to say the least :scratch:

If i leave an engine without coolant in will it be ok ?
STU175 replied to robrado974's topic in Engine Bay
it'll be fine. just make sure nothing can get into your engine via open hoses. bugs insects small animals etc LOL -
are we going to see it go down the strip then John?
