Oil leak

Merry Christmas everyone, found a couple of oil spots on the drive, opened the bonnet and there’s oil under the distributor, I’m not mechanically minded, so any thoughts on where it might be coming from and how big a job it will be would be much appreciated, thanks

Exhaust advice

Morning all, I’ve got a 1995 16v and I need to replace the centre exhaust, I’ve read that there is 2 different sizes for the 2.0 depending on when the car was built and the changeover is 95? The logbook says it was registered on 31/12/1995 but I think it was built before this as it has a s1 distribu...

Re: Starting

I’ve been regularly moving the car up and down the drive and putting fresh petrol in as and when. The dissy was a new one, I disconnected the battery overnight and charged it when I replaced the airbag module, but nothing else under the bonnet has been touched, now the airbags sorted, I’ll tax it on...

Re: Starting

Thanks for the reply mate, it’s an s1 distributor, but I had it replaced last year with a new one as after about 20 minutes of running, the engine would cut out and not restart until it cooled down, now it’s the opposite, it splutters when I first start it but then runs fine, if I turn it off and re...

Starting

After finally sourcing and fitting an airbag module, the airbag light has stopped flashing. However, when I start the car, it fires up immediately but as soon as I touch the accelerator pedal it starts spluttering and cuts out, if I really rev it, it coughs and splutters and nearly cuts out but mana...

Heater

Hi, got a bit of a problem with the heater, it works on all speeds but no matter what position it’s set on, it only blows out the vents towards your face, all the buttons light up when individually pressed but won’t direct it to the screen, feet etc. Any idea what it could be? It’s a 2.0 no air con....
