earlier topic in this forum about spilt milk in cars. only way to get rid of it is to replace the carpet/upholstery. and yes - it will stink for years otherwise.

Is it a 1-series with run flat tyres ? Apparently the chassis was designed to work with the run flat tyres only so if you change the wheels to another type and fit normal tyres it will handle like sh** and be unpredictable. put it in the crusher before it kills you.

www.toyotaownersclub.co.uk goto the avensis forums and start asking around. '98 -'01 Avensis alarms are a pain in the butt....

Try a metal spacer tube to effectively reduce the length of the threaded section. this will allow you to get a box spanner on it. A piece of small bore c/h pipe might do it.

Change the output connector on top of the cylinder to a "Surrey flange". This is the recommended take off for a power shower pump as it prevents air bubbles at the top of the tank being sent through to the pump and causing it to cut-out due to dry running. It should be a straight...

Hi, I have purchased a monobloc tap that will be fitted to a HP cold (rising main) and LP hot (gravity) arrangement. According to the installation instruction I need to fit a non-return valve and flow restrictor setup. Presumably I need non-return valves on both feeds and the flow...

Once read an incident report where the casualty sat on the toliet seat as he was putting it down and squashed his knackers between the seat and the rim of the bowl....

www.toyotaownersclub.com lots of helpful people.

Same problem with any car having an aftermarket fitment. When you cut a hole in the roof you need to fit strengtheners to protect the passenger cell if the vehicle rolls and to stop the monocoque twisting. Sunroofs fitted at time of manufacture have pressed edges and strengtheners welded...

sounds more like he wants you to cut your tree down. Get a tree preservation order on it before he slaps a management order on you. i have a neighbour with OCD who sweeps his garden twice daily (and uses his hosepipe during bans). I just love it when the squirrels throw hazelnut shells into...

could be something as simple as a video card shaken loose. open it up and reseat the card in the motherboard (assumes it is not built into the motherboard to start with) more difficult would be if the display resolution has been set outside the limits of the screen. you'll need to find out...

if you can get to the back of the panel drill a pilot hole from behind. Then open this up from the front with a standard "metal" drill bit. seal the edges with gelcoat or primer to stop the moisture getting into the fibres.

so its unsafe to practice something potentially dangerous on the queens highway. tell that to all the bl***y driving instructors using residential side streets to teach in. will my kids ever be safe? the back end of this trail assumes that our hero would try this on the open road without...

other than a knackered SM, slow starting caused either by newly rebuilt engine being tight or old engine being worn and all oil draining out of big ends. rebuilt engine will be really tight when cold. worn engine will be acccompanied by death rattle as ignition takes over from starter until...

Road Traffic Act was amended in the past 2 years to make it illegal to have an incorrectly registered vehicle. So if the address is incorrect on the log book then keep quiet and get it changed before they hit you for a bigger penalty and confiscation of the vehicle. If the address is wrong...

s'ok. the handle is a 'greasy' plastic so you won't get any glue to stick this back together. that's why it has to be a replacement item unfortunately.

A most a-peel-ing colour if memory servers me correctly. Try this one then if of a certain age - Pinto fuel tank....

you need to buy another handle mechanism from vauxhall or a breakers yard. you didn't ask how to get the bonnet open without it... :twisted:

I'm with JohnD. If you can loosen the caps then do so. It should produce gas in each cell. If it doesn't then you may have found the reason why you need to charge it in the first place. If the car is low usage and isn't garaged all the time then try one of the solar powered 'battery...

connected the feed to the overflow by mistake? If the float works and the valve is new then suspect the valve seat. If all else fails it has to be the adjustment of the float to valve clearance when the valve is in the closed position.
