Sorry...double post.

...and hence, this will be coming soon. :eek: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60394567

Presumably, like you would want diesels? :)

Though this is clearly from a US website it makes a distinction between the three types of spring compressor. May or may not be useful.

Yes, thanks. Yes, thanks.

I will not be draining the system. Due to having a sufficiently long run of pipe it will be easier to use the freezing-kit as, in addition to the valve leaking, it also lets-by when (supposedly) closed. Sentinel X100 in the bag. ;)

RG: Yes, I agree that the title was just begging for your reply. :) Think I’ll try to obtain the Drayton TRV4 as an alternative as it sounds like it has been properly road-tested by your toddler. OB: Well I will probably use a freezing kit to save time here. N49: No, it is a direct setup with...

This Honeywell Home VTL120 valve has a small onging leak. All rads on this system have this model of TRV but it is this one alone that is regularly manually turned from fully closed to fully open (when the occupants use this particular room). The rest of CH system is controlled by a Hive remote...

I remember fitting some Champion wipers that I bought a decade or more ago from, would you believe, Sainsbury's, for a paltry few quid. They seemed to work very efficiently for several years until they were frozen to buggеry one winter. I replaced these with some Bosch equivalents which were...

A leak in bungalow roof caused an ingress of water a couple of evenings ago. The following morning a quick view from the garden showed that one of the roof tiles had slid downwards creating a small opening. This tile normally sits under the flashing of a ventilation pipe. Upon checking out the...

The codereader is a relatively basic Foxwell NT301 and I am not sure that it shows the AFR, though, I may be wrong here. As it happens I have access to another Yaris though it is a couple of years newer and is a 1.3. Presumably worth a test to make a comparison?

Thanks, Keith, I see what you mean. If there actually is an issue of over-fuelling then any fault certainly betrays no detectable odour and the car is currently garaged. But about 10 days ago I did a journey of around 150 miles and about midway I noticed the MIL had come on – this only ever...

Well the car at tickover today read ECT 87°c which I guess is fine. Is there anything that should give cause for concern in the collection readings below? I was in the car alone so unable to check take a measure of these values at 1,500 and 2,500 rpm as is usually recommended. R&C: Agreed...

Thanks, Keith, I will give it a go.

Do these links show anything of which you have not previously discovered? Probably worth a browse at least. :) 7 speed DSG gearbox problem 7 speed gearbox repairs

Wow, another great victory, John, thanks again. ;) I got it off with a bit of prying (not the voyeur kind, thank you :mrgreen:). Now my next question. I am trying to determine whether I require a replacement coolant sensor as I have found the engine fan appears to be on all of the time. From...

I am finding it extremely difficult to pull this Yaris (2002) cable connector from the coolant sensor as I can only just get one hand in. Is it just a question of tugging as hard as possible or do the two red-arrowed prongs need to be squeezed simultaneously? Thanks, kindly for any help.

Actually this is the first I have ever heard about Ford heaters being cr@p as, back in the eighties, we had a ’79 Fiesta 1.3 and a Capri 3.0 both with excellent heaters. Also they had Weber carbs with automatic chokes, the Fiesta’s controlled electrically but the Capri’s governed by water...

Well done, Jim. I should say that I always thought your avatar looked like a man with £1,200 in his trousers. :mrgreen:

Would one of these do? ;)
