There are definitely no blockages of any kind. It's only attached to the motor with a screw and 2 wires!!

My Dyson DC07 animal overheats after a while. (Well actually it triggers the thermal cut-out) It triggers within a few minutes when using the lance but usually lasts a bit longer if using the floor brush. Do Dyson sell the thermal trips separately?

Surely the same hose from a Sierra would fit? You could get someone to make up a copper pipe manifold cut out the split part then join up the ends with jubilee clips and good ole Stag.

I assume you didn't over tighten the bearing? There are so many things from a simple loose spring clip to a major shoe, drum or mounting failure that could cause a noise. Pull the drum off and make sure the levers that attach the handbrake cable to the drum are returning fully. You might have to...

A decent garage could have re-programmed the system for you for around £40. I don't think this is the right place to be giving out immobilizer/etc. bypass info :roll: The fuel shut off has to disengage before the engine will start.

Move to the Western Isles you won't need air con. :lol:

Some alloy wheels develop slow leaks because they have tiny flaws in the casting. They don't become obvious until the lacquer wears or gets damaged and exposes the minute holes. This however is unusual in relatively new wheels and far more common is a very small leak on the tyre. Sometimes the...

You would really notice if you had a turbo but what would be the point of having a turbo and then not using it? Better to buy the non turbo. You could also try fitting a governor to your engine to prevent the revs from rising too high. But that's no fun either. Diesel car magazine has been...

As above but also try tapping the wheel studs with a hammer if the rocking doesn't work.

Had the same problem a few years back but I couldn't tell you what caused it, maybe bad fuel, maybe a worn plug. Most newer Flymo mowers are 4 stroke and don't have a true choke. They use instead a bulb type fuel purge that lifts a little extra fuel into the intake to aid starting. This dries as...

Check the bus bar with no plugs attached. The reason the voltage reads low is because of the voltage being drawn off by the plugs. If you put the tester on the battery it will drop a bit when you switch the glow plugs on. If it's not your glow plugs it's probably a fuel problem. Does that model...

Were the glow plugs connected when you tested the voltage? Was the relay on or off when you were taking the readings? Did you remove the glow plugs and wire them direct to a battery to see if they glow at the tip where they're supposed to glow? Continuity testing is useless for glow plugs as...

Has anyone been working on the fuel tank or pipes? There could be a kink or the fuel and return pipes could have been connected back to front. Also make sure there isn't a fracture in the fuel line.

Rust! Obvious I know but some of the early mark III's fell apart while others were immaculate. Brake calipers have a habit of sticking on so check the front brake discs. Coil springs get brittle with age and depending on usage the rear shocks will also be the worse for wear. I don't know what...

Fighting like cat and dog... :lol:

One thing to watch out for is that if you're head unit and amps are a car length apart as is common you must use good quality phono cabling because you'll get a loss on the cheap stuff. Consider using subs and tweeters with crossovers (A component system) rather than a separate sub unit and you...

Hairspray or toothpaste will do it safely. Also cellulose thinners but it'll probably damage the finish too.

Pump timing isn't the same as engine timing and it can make a big difference. The engine timing can be out a good bit and you'll only notice at cold start up. The engine will run rough and canter, belching all kinds of strange coloured smoke. After the engine runs for a short time the cold start...

Dry-lean is best for setting and brushing, 10 sand to 1 cement and it still allows water to drain. Don't let it mix too long in the mixer though or the cement will ball together and if your sand is very dry just add a fine spray of water to dampen it down without wetting it. Remember to lime...

I've used these in the past and they do work but need a bit of experimentation to get them right angle taps. http://www.hozelock.com/productcatalog/products.asp?range=watering&region=ROW&catNo=2274%203155&show=yes&hierarchyID=1&hierarchyID2=33&hierarchyID3=34&hierarchyID4=34. They seem to be...
