(done last week)
One way of removing a hub bearing that has "squashed" the stub axle and refuses to seat correctly (and thus come off without breaking a puller arm.)

A bit of superglue will soon sort that Alasdair

[Stickyfinger]

That is easier, I was going to use some string and a few clever knots

[Stickyfinger]

I left the car (V6 Activa) ticking over for a few mins yesterday, it was not "hunting" and was running quite normally......then it stopped.
I restarted it and it ticked over fine again but after 4-5 mins it stopped again.

What could this be ?

[CitroJim]

Boredom?

LOL....I am now cleaning milk & coffee off my screen you bu##er

Sorry Alasdair, I do apologise....

Seriously, I've known V6s do just this quite frequently in my experience and it's often when they're between hot and cold on a slightly chilly day... It's like the ECU is not quite sure of the fuelling given the air temperature and coolant temperature...

If it's running fine under way then I'd not worry...

The grey V6 I bought off Chris, who bought it off you used to do this if left ticking over.

Out for a drive to see a client today, about 80miles return. Sat in some traffic at some road works, it did not miss a beat....so goodness knows what was happening..

Coluld be. Activas definitely have feelings...

[Stickyfinger]

Time to stop this sh####

That's a serious bit of kit.

Swapped the Activa's antenna this morning for the one on my scrapper (that was perfect).....I have got good reception finally
