    Corsa 1.0L 2001 rear fog light

    Try somewhere like Amazon for a Haynes manual or possibly Halfords if they keep manuals for older cars.

    BMW 320CD 2006 knocking issue

    See post 4. What took you so long? Spring takes seconds to remove and not much longer to refit. When the spring breaks there is usually very little difference in the ride height but the spring rate changes dramatically and results in much more suspension movement and less wheel control. Best...

    The new MOT document

    Makes the job a whole lot easier though. Only one stack of plain paper instead of 4 different ones and no having to re order.

    Bora Clutch

    Hopefully it is just the clutch but there is another possible scenario. Your car might be too new for this but: Have a look underneath for an oil leak from the diff/bellhousing area. It might be that the rivetts holding the crown wheel onto the diff casing have broken and punched a hole through...

    BMW 320CD 2006 knocking issue

    Have you checked the springs properly? They always break on the E46, usually the bottom coil but sometimes the top one as well. Easy to see the bottom coil with the wheel off or with the car jacked up run your hand around the coils and before you get to the bottom you will find a jagged edge...

    High Gloss White Kitchen?

    Bit of an odd question but someone might know. Is the colour of one manufacturers high gloss white IDENTICAL to anothers high gloss white? Need another end panel and want to avoid extortionate delivery charge by buying from a reasonably local source where I can collect it myself. Cheers.

    Ssangyong rexton fog light problem

    Does it have a tow bar fitted? If so it could be the contact on the fog lamp cut out in the tow bar socket that is corroded. Internal investigation of the wiring socket is best but you could try taping the socket gently with a light hammer or block of wood which might give a temporary fix. (...

    Screwing toilet pan to floor.

    Having trouble finding suitable brass screws for screwing the toilet pan to the floor. 10 gauge ones are barely big enough, nearly falling through the mounting holes and 12 gauge I can't find. Is there a plastic insert you can get so you can use a smaller screw. Thanks.

    Corolla Exhaust - light fizzy rattle

    I was a Toyota technician at that time and we had to change quite a few for this problem under warranty. Noises are impossible to diagnose without having a look at the car but just wanted to make you aware of the possibility that it was not the exhaust. The screwdriver test should help unless...

    Corolla Exhaust - light fizzy rattle

    Are you absolutely 100% sure it is the exhaust manifold? When they first came out those engines had a problem with internal baffles in the INLET manifold coming loose and vibrating / buzzing. As far as I can remember noise appeared about 3000rpm. Hold the revs so you get the noise and place...
