Re: Rear shocks/ struts

The advert is listed at GE, but wasn’t 100% sure as I believe that’s the year it crossed over. I have attached the link below.

Rear shocks/ struts

Hi all, Swapping previous owners coil overs back to original and can’t seem to get the strut into the knuckle. The coil over was lined up perfectly with it, but after putting the top studs through their mounting point this new strut seems to sit so far below the knuckle even after compressing the st...

Re: N/S drive shaft circlip

Re: N/S drive shaft circlip

Update: I have put the other end back into the wheel hub and attached the tie rods. It’s all fine on that end but the gearbox side is still like this, is it correctly seated? I I thought it might have gone in further

N/S drive shaft circlip

Hi all, Changing nearside drive shaft, I have a replacement from J&R on eBay. I can’t get it back into the gearbox. When I take the circlip off the end its slides in effortlessly. But no matter how much I try I don’t think the clip lets is sit properly. I have attached a photo below of the join. htt...

Re: Seatbelt Pretensioner

I have tested the resistance on the crash sensors and have a resistance of 1181 on them. My knowledge of electrical circuits and testing is very limited. Is there any circuit to test under the seat relevant to the airbag system?

Seatbelt Pretensioner

HI, Still hunting for the cause of SRS code 13. I have tested the connector for what I believe to be the drivers seatbelt pretensioner (white clip under seat, not the one connecting to under carpet but strapped to the underside of the seat) and have a resistance of 0. I wanted to check the passenger...

Sorry but it reads like you have a head gasket leaking.
Surely that wouldn’t stop it from working for at least a second after topping up and letting run to get rid of air? I don’t have any signs such as frothy/milky oil or oil in coolant.

Re: No hot air

Once again no hot air! Have been losing coolant throughout the year, but can’t seem to get hot air even after filling and letting run with cap off. Expect heater is blocked as when recirculating the air it slowly warms itself up meaning the heater setting is on? Where abouts can I find the heater? C...
