    Courier van rear shock absorber

    Further to an earlier post, I have bought new rear shockers for my 1999 Ford Courier van (traling arm suspension). Simple enough, no springs, I thought! Got top and bottom bolts out of shockers easy enough, but can't get shocker off bottom mount. The metal bush part of the shocker in the...

    Loud clunking noise from back of van - inspected and the tops of the shock absorbers are rattling around on the bolts that hold them to the body. The rubber mounts have virtually gone aswell (hence the clunking). When I buy new shocks, will I get the rubber mounts with them in a kit, or do I...

    sectional garage insulation

    I have just had a sectional garage built and I want to put an office in it. What is the best way to go about this? The floor of the garage has been tanked out and concreted, so it's just the walls and ( pent, concrete fibre) roof that I don't know what to do with. Any help appreciated...

    jpg files have turned into .jpg.exn files?!

    I have just tried to open some photos downloaded from my Minolta Dimage E323 camera. When I tried, the Microsoft Photo Editor and Windows Picture and Fax Viewer programs can't open them.

    ford courier van rear seatconversion

    My insurer has decided that they want proof that my rear seat conversion has been professionally fitted. How do I go about this when it was fitted whenI bought it? Can a garage give it a "clean bill of health" that I can pass on to my insurer?

    flat courier

    I have a ford courier van , 1998 1.8 diesel. It has just been serviced, but I have noticed for about a month now that it has lost power. Would this be a timing fault? I've heard that timing is quite critical on diesels. Would I have to take the van to a garage to fix it?

    plastering - skim coat

    What is the best way of getting a good finish on the skim coat ( apart from paying a plasterer)? I am only plastering up some chases for cables, but every time I have tried the finish is rubbish when it's dry.
