Hello Eagleboke, I wouldn't touch alloy wheels with a barge pole, my better half would soon see then off!!!!. I used to work for a guy who's company car was a Saab fitted with alloy wheels and every time he went down the M1 he seemed to hit any debris on the road. They used to cost a small...

Hello eaglebloke,have you tried soap and water!!! :lol: forgive me for this, I couldn't resist. regards johnwr

that's all very fine breezer unless you are the staff from ee*ee tv who have just had the bullit last week, not so good for them, my daughter wants to get into television work but can only get sh1t jobs at shopping & gambling channels. regards johnwr

I just can't stand these channels, the presenters have a bad case of verbal diarrhoea, how can anybody talk so much bo***cks in such a short time is beyond me. To make things worse my eldest daughter used to work for ee*ee tv until they made them all redundant last week. Enough of my rant, hope...

I would see if both heater hoses are getting hot, if not they may need bleeding. This is genarally easy to do, with the engine running, slowly remove the heater hose very slightly and see if any air is coming out then the coolant should come through (hot, be very careful). If not then the...

Hello Jordana, I think the mechanic!!!! is taking the p**s, try somewhere else. Yes it is an easy job, go and borrow a Haynes manual from your local library. regards johnwr

Hyde, I would check the propshaft now, paying close attention to the fixing bolts, U/Js and centre bearing.Do not drive the van until you have checked it as a propshaft failing can do a lot of damage. regards johnwr

Hello, have you tried turning up the dimmer control and if that doesn't work then it may be the tiny bulbs have failed. regards johnwr

I should have a look at a recent posting about Ford KA heater, that should give you some clues. regards johnwr

When I fitted my new radio, every thing still worked except the display for the standard radio (no connection on new radio). You have to be careful with some main dealers they talk a load of b-----ks, especially my local Dixons, they are c---p. Most of the time they are only guessing and have to...

Had the same problem fitting a cd radio from "Aldi" in my 03 Berlingo I had to do what Crafty said. Now works great even though it only cost £50. I was lucky that it had separate fuses on both 12v feeds.

try looking at the bottom of the top radiator hose, that's the usual place. regards johnwr

Hello WB it could be either that is causing your problem, I suggest that you remove the wheel from the offending brake and get somebody to work the handbrake, if the cable appears to be free then the caliper may be seized. It could be just the operating lever thats seized and may free off with...

Hello ricsworld, I would check the master cylinder, first clamp off the brake hoses then press the pedal if it still goes down then you have found your problem. If the pedal is solid then check the calipers are not leaking in the dust seals. regards johnwr

once again we have people replying about a subject that they have scant knowledge about. I suggest than stevemastic reads all of the posting before replying. I think you will find that all brake master cylinder have a small hole in the cap. It needs this to compensate for brake pads wear. I have...

I see that my advise has caused a few ripples, what I said is correct and if people would only read all of the postings then they would see that I didn't tell philwis "yes it will be OK ignore what the main dealer has said". The main dealers are frightened to death that if they don't do things...

Hello philwis, I am sorry but I can't tell that your brakes will be OK, it is up too you to get it done asap. I only mentioned car manufactuers testing in the alps to show how important brake fluid is. I the past I have tested brakes in Austria for my employers and Ford and you don't have to be...

Hello philwis The garage is correct, brake fluid generally needs changing every 2 years. The problem with brake fluid is it's hygroscopic (absorbs moisture) and this lowers the boiling point. It is a big problem in mountainous regions and vehicle manufactuers do a lot of testing in the alps and...
