Hello phill2, don't buy a 1.4 petrol they are gutless, otherwise it's the most popular MPV. regards johnwr

Because they are cr*p, I have changed cylinder heads on 1.7 low blow TD's due to cracking. regards johnwr

I don't think that the information given by the mechanic is correct, you have dangerous car, it's probably a faulty servo. You should be able to get at least 4 pedal applications before you run out of vacuum. regards johnwr

Have you tried checking the transmission oil level, by the way auto's don't have a clutch. regards johnwr

I think you have answered the question yourself, It looks like you need the services of a good mechanic to have a good look round your car. Anyway what do you need such large wheels fo, are you some kind of a chav :lol: :lol:

I think neo has got it wrong, the tensioner he is talking about is used on the 2.1TD. You need to use the tool in to the flywheel behind the starter, other than that it's just bolts to lock the injection pump and the camshaft. The belt tensioner depends on the engine code. I hope this helps...

Homebase are very good at replacing faulty lawn mowers, I bought a cheap mower from them and the recoil starter broke, they will either replaced it FOC, give you your money back or let you buy a better mower. They even gave me a me bottle of engine oil. Now thats what I call good service...

They are F---ing crap and complete waste of time and money and used by bodgers. It's much easier in the long run to buy a good quality CV boot kit and do the job just once, it's cheaper in the long run to fit the correct cv boot than to fit some cr-p overgrown condom that will only last a few...

I used to work as a road test technician for a large brake lining manufacturer and we supplied Volvo with a fair proportion of their brake liners for their truck range and I don't think they were any sharper than volvo's competitors vehicles. It may be different on their car range, but this...

jimbob, if you read my last posting, this is the easiest method of gaining enough clearance to remove a grooved drum. I think your "master tech mechanic" what ever that means is going to do more damage to the adjuster mechanism trying to back off the adjusters through the wheel bolt holes. To...

Your right about the rubber plug in the back plate, remove the plug and use a screwdriver to press on the end of the handbrake lever and this will you more clearance between drum and shoes then the drum should come off fairly easily. regards johnwr

your right iain, a bit of brain fade, what I meant to say that you can't check for run out with an internal mic. regards johnwr

Hello kaytay, If I were you I would refit the old shoes and drums, but this time manually adjust the brakes, I know it is difficult with worn drums, but relying on the auto adjuster you will lucky to get the adjustment very close to the drum. If this works then you should try refitting the new...

If it's the same 2.0l engine as in the Vectra, then if you fill up the filter housing will fuel then you should have no problems. regards johnwr

I agree with neo, but be carefull with the corsa that you don't jackup on the wishbone it's self. Use the 'u' shaped chassis rail behind the wishbone. With retgards to the P306 jack under the subframe it's self. regards johnwr

Try checking the rear front subframe bolts are tight, I have seen a P205 with both rear bolts missing, and it makes a banging noise when you decelerate when the subframe hits the body. Hope this helps johnwr

Thanks for the info. regards johnwr

Thanks for the quick reply Breezer, I have just been back to the house and the tree is only 6 metres from the corner of the house, I am very concerned about root damaging the foundations and the drains, don't fancy digging up sh1t pipes. regards johnwr

Hello, I hope someone can give me some info, we have been to look at a bungalow that has a very large willow tree in the garden (approx 15-20 m high) and is about 15 metres from the house. The property is approx 30 years old and should be build on a raft, as we are in a mining area. Can we...
