Re: Clarion Radio FM died :-(

Yeah no probs mate I have a reflow station so should not be a problem. The chip is not getting terribly hot but warmer than you would expect.

Clarion Radio FM died :-(

ok folks so my new 406 is driving well, despite a blown gasket! 255 miles of £30 last weekend so I am not complaining atm!

I suppose they changed the design at some point but didn't change the bodywork :-/ Thought about opening the hole up but do not want to butcher it... I really do hope the str...

Fuel pump removal

Hi folks I want to check the fuel strainer in the tank, but struggling to remove the ring without damaging the raised edges! I know there is a tool available but has anyone come up with a better solution than simply hitting it loose with a screwdriver..?

sold a dud :-(

Now, to cut a long story short, it has become apparent that I have purchased a car with a rather poorly engine :-( I noticed on the way back the engine didn't seem to warm up, gauges fo...
