spoke to their online team - they do not have stock & cant get any :(

my apologies if im wrong but google search on that part number brings up 'central locking control module' reason i ask is due to my drivers window not working - all i get is a click sound from behind the rear drivers side passenger trim & im not sure what i need to do to fix it

indeed, tasty :D

much appreciated

No problem Jamie. I will check tonight & either post here later or when i get to work in the morning :)

IIRC it is just the window switches that are in a different place. Im pretty sure my early valver has the inner door handle & grab handle in the same place & would think as such they bolt up the same as late door cards I can check my valver & confirm when i get home if you like?

can i have 2nd dibs n the speedline centre caps if kev drops out pls, thanks

can i have a PM too pls robrado!? ;) lol i would have to make them match as well Jamie PS dont be hard on yourself for liking things how they should be :D

no idea jim but this thread will be kept an eye on with interest

im still hunting but ive found this so far....... http://www.onlinecarparts.co.uk/valeo-1103706.html

valeo part number is 812031 (which is also the one stated in the ebay link from Jon_vr6) trying to find best price....

good call, thanks - looks rather more pricey than i was expecting

im trying to locate one online but am at work, i will post as soon as i find a supplier

Thanks P3rks much appreciated

im on the hunt for a matrix for my valver too - i thought valeo were the ones to try & go for.....anyone?

if you can make sure you get a 'revised' valeo bearing..... as from my recent experience the only release bearing which did not produce a horrible chirping noise was the final one of 4 which vince at stealth explained valeo rep had described as 'a revised version' ;)

Tidy :)

Hi P3rks You mention you have lots of other spares too - do you have an early front grill by any chance pls?

oh dear :( hope its not serious

welcome! a white 1.8 16v was my first rado too & i managed to buy it back a couple months ago :D enjoy & share your plans

or just buy yourself a REAL one.....but cheaper PMSL http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/ferrari/355/stunning-low-mileage-ferrari-355-f1-spider/2582636

no problem, happy to share experiences & thoughts. unfortunately i am in the midlands so no idea about a mechanic in your area sorry - hopefully there will be someone in your area on here i hadnt seen the pics of your expansion tank previously but as others have mentioned it definitely should not be rusty. if the expansion tank is that bad god knows what your radiator & engine cooling channels /internals might look like :( i hate to say it but i would be preparing myself for the worst case scenario

response removed to honour apology of crossing threads

im not sure m8 - personally i would probably leave it as is & get a good mechanic to come & take a look BUT i definitely wouldnt try running it again (sorry if thats stating the obvious) reason i say the above is it if you leave it as is then the mechanic should be able to use what he is seeing to trace & confirm the issue, which could be more difficult if it has been drained etc where abouts are you located & do you have a knowledgeable mechanic you can trust?

good luck :) what size are your wheels by the way? when i brought my old valver back a few months ago it had (& still has until the BBS's are ready) the same wheels as those i your pic. they are 17's on mine & even with the spacers the previous owner fitted they rub the inner wheel arch lining
