Hi, I may be able to help??????????????????????????????????? In a round about way..... I was just about to list my old but very servicable 1197R, 2.1TD GLX Estate on Ebay. In less than a year, it has had a new clutch (£340) New Water Pump, New Cam belt, new Aux belt, new tensioners - both, new lower...

I too have an R reg 2.1TD (with 225k) and until recently, I was adding Lidl veg oil at the rate of 3 Litres per £20 Diesel. [I intend to increase the ration as the weather gets warmer!] The car ran well with no problems to report. Two reasons I stopped for the moment: (1) Cold weather (and we had a ...

While we are talking about Fogs - I would like to 1/2 hijack this thread if you don't mind....and maybe save you some cash :!: I don't think they are actually worth retro fitting! - I have them as standard on my 2.1GLX. I thought that they would be great in actual FOG and also useful to scare the DE...

Cheers V6 for the speedy reply - luckily not at work today - had a look and a fiddle and I think its ok now :!: In the dingy afternoon, when I did this, I think that I must have actually used the little ball thingy to push the reflector plate out of position....next time the order of work must be: (...

:oops: Like a complete twat! I accidentaly disconected the adjusting motor unit from the rear of the headlamp unit instead of the cover for the sidelight which has blown. I do have a Haynes but can't find it :evil: Its been "tidied" away due to Christmas grrr If I had had it then I would have checke...

James - once again, you are a star Many Thanks

Hi Johnrobert, Had the same problem myself earlier this year! If I can fix it then anyone can... Bought a replacement fan (which includes the control unit) from a local (Devizes Reclamation - shameless plug) vehicle recycling facility for about £10. Also got a manual from Ebay - about £10. Did a bit...

At the risk of repeating myself: you have too much time on your hands

Me Too and loads of others no doubt

Dear Mr Earwig,

It has come to my attention that you have WAY, WAY too much time on you hands
(and you are a nutter but, very amusing
Thanks, cheered up an otherwise crappy day
Have a very Merry - whatever you have down there

I have almost the same motor (1997 - 225k - 2.1TD -GLX) Sounds like my number 2 mechanic did the job......he lifted the filler cap and said that "as it was a sealed system it would never need topping up" - oooh err!! Won't be going back to him then!! I have to say that other than second gear, which ...

Damm & Blast and other unprintable words - I can't believe it! (Victor must drive a pug!) Now my drivers door lock refuses to work - it won't open or lock with the key, the whole key actually goes round and round (and the remote STILL isn't working in spite of my re-programming efforts as instructed...

How spot on are you guys as far as town goes :evil: Don't even get me started about the bloody wildlife :!: Here in the sticks - the bloody suicidal Pheasants and Deer don'y half make a mess of your motor.... :twisted: But at least THEY are edible..... :D are the bad driving yummy mummies in their 4...

:cheesy: And while I am on such top form due to copious quantities (hic) of Cider..... Will a D9 drivers seat fit into a D8? Anybody Tried / Failed / Succeeded :?: :?: I can seem to find a D8 seat for love or money and mine has snapped = MOT failure Cheers Graeme NB: I did not snap it - I AM a LITTL...
