Hi I am putting in a new steering rack on my ford escort 1.4L 1993, and need some help. I have removed the two retaining bolts of the rack, but now not sure how to remove the rack from the steering wheel housing under the bonnet (you know the little shank thingy!) Will it just pull out or do...

Have an escort M reg, and for some reason electrics have gone heywire. No leccy windows, headlights, indicators, internal fan blower, radio deactivated (have to reinsert code) then when driving I switch the headlight switch on and hey bingo - everything working again. All fuses have been checked...

Hi Does anyone know any good websites like this one related to car diy etc. I have an electrical fault which I need help on Thanks Tony

Hi Well ive found out the hard way(with gushing water)that you cant shut of this thermostatic valve(how silly is that!! and why?), so I had to drain the whole system, took me ages with water spilled everywhere. My problem now is that the pipe connections from the floor on the right dont meet...

I am planning to replace a new radiator, but because I have a thermostatic valve (a big white knob that you can turn with numbers from 0 - 5, and a snowflake sign) on the left and need to know how to turn the water off at this point. Do I just turn it to the number zero, as there doesnt seem to...

....so basically what you are saying is turn the thermostatic valve down so it reads zero and that should be enough to stop the water supply into the rad and I will then be able to undo the nuts on each side and remove the rad Is this correct? Thanks Tony

I think I have a thermostatic valve radiator (its got a big white knob which you turn with numbers on a and a small sign which I think means "frost") On the right hand side of the rad there is a small white plastic cover which you can remove and underneath a small tap which can only be turned...

I have a rusty downstairs radiator and will have to replace this soon. Because of the corrosion its beginning to very slightly leak from the rusty areas my idea in the short term was to drain the rad empty. There is a small pipe underneath on the left hand side of the rad which allows you to...

Well what a gentleman you are, Thanks you very much indeed Georgia :D

Breezer - HELLO As explained in the details above, my valve is a double valve and my machine is a hotpoint Aquarius model number WMA 30. Could you give me a price for one of these, and what is your returns policy, in case I find the valve is not a fault after all Ta Georgia :oops:

Hi Again fellas - I am so sorry to be a pain in the neck here, but I really appreciate all your help so far in this matter The water IS coming in through the sprinkler at the rinse part of the program (where the prewash compartment is) so I know the program is working, but perhaps what you are...

So Mandate You are telling me to put more conditioner in so it overflows more quickly than usual. This is ok in the short term, but do you really think its my valve (that SUCKS / BLOWS / SPRINKLES in cold water from the back) that is at fault, -should it be sending more water than it is Let...

So, just so ive got this right can I confirm what you are saying ----, you think it could be a faulty valve that lets the water IN from the back (Cold) i.e - the valve that sprinkles over the pre-wash tray that overflows to make the conditioner flush into the machine. As I said when I pour cold...

............ and is the syphon the hole where the water / conditioner goes down into the machine, if so, i have tested this with water on its own by pouring a jug into it to overflowing point and it all syphons away no problem :?:

Gees There seems to be a little water mixed with conditioner at the end but really no conditioner has flushed through. How does one reprogram the machine Love to hear back from you Georgia :P

Hi Gees, you could just be my knight on shining armour!! I have a Hotpoint wachine machine Aquaruis model number WMA 30 (about 3 years old). Recently the conditioner isnt rinsing through after the program has finished. Usually I dont do a pre wash, just a main one. I have checked the main...

Thanx for the help you guys So, should i try and put cold water in the conditionaer tray when the machine is off. Would this be ok to do, or perhaps I could try hot water to try and clear a blockage if there is one. What do you think? I have looked at the "cap" there doesnt seem to be a...

Hi My Hotpoint Washine machine is just about 3 years old. Just recently I have found that the condioner that I put into the tray doesnt wash away after the program has finished. I have checked the sprinkler bit that flushes the conditioner, and this seems to be working ok. :eyes: I am sure...

thanx alot for this, however i only have mixer taps so i presume it will be better to carry out the draining option you advised Your help is greatly appreciated. Aint this a great site!! Tony :P
