Hi Gang,

While refitting the hydraulic tank riser after performing the return line modification I've discovered that the 50mm long joiner from the tank top to the hydraulic pump has split: #-o

Not sure if it was already split (I don't think so) or whether I split it while I was fitting the new jubilee clips, as it is very hard and brittle....

Last post

I managed to get 11mm pipe on an 11mm and 13mm spigot with no adaptors, it takes a bit of a shove but it goes on easily enough!

Hi All
My 03 LWB Relay needs a whole new inner seal on the n/s and a patch (or complete cill) on the other side. Anyone have any idea what this sort of job costs? Also, does anyone know any mobile welders in the Basildon, Essex area?
Many thanks

Hi all,

My right headlamp starts to fickle so I guess it is time to search for a new bulb.

So for my C5II, is it a H1 or a H7 12V-55W?

By the way, what is the type? is it 1156 or 1157?

Kindly advise me and Thank you very much.

Regards,

Last post

cant remember what type but i found it miles easier to remove front bumper and head lamps,
whilst your in there fit new side lamp bulbs, they are the cap less halogens,
check the holders as they melt, if you can find some ceramic holders for the side lamps i would fot them as well

Toothpaste (paste, not the gel kind) or Autosol work well.

By hand?

Thought autosol was a chrome cleaner?

Aye, it works cos it's a very mild abrasive - just rub it on with a damp cloth and keep rubbing for a while - toothpaste is cheaper and just as effective though.

Nice 2 hour 20min trip down the M40. Pity about the snarl up on the M25, which cost us a little bit more time but with A/C on full blast, it wasn't such a big hardship. The mpg came down to 42, thanks to some spirited driving on the M40. :wink:

Last post

That suggest it could be a rear brake issue. When the car is empty, the rear brakes have very little force, due to the way they are operated. As the weight is increased, the amount of pressure sent to the rear brake callipers is also increased.

My immediate thought too. 'Wedged' rear callipers?

Finally had the clutch and DMF done today - it was quite noisy over the past few days. The DMF was in very bad shape, lots of free play, rattling and bolts quite worn. The clutch wasn't too bad for the milage (95K miles), but the bearing was on its last legs.

The best thing you could do at this point is to post up the last 8 digits of the VIN number, so that somebody who knows what they are doing (not I, sorry!) can then look up the configuration, and let you know the factory configuration (which ECUs, etc.).
