Steering wheel is worn, probably one of the few areas of wear on the whole car. Might see if i can get her MOT'd tomorrow.

I agree, amazing how the MOT sneaks up on you. I'm half tempted to put a new one on but its only done about 4000 miles since the last one. Thanks for the nice comments too.

Must do a search first, Must do a search first, Must do a search first, Must do a search first, Must do a search first!! Solved the windscreen washers, mini 10 amp fuse in the engine bay fusebox, which i found after posting because i didnt bother to do a search first as i am christmas plonker!! Stil...

Is there a seperate fuse for these on a 51 reg 406 HDI please? Stopped working in the freezing weather, checked them today and theres nothing when i try, not still frozen as the motor is not running. Also looking for a wiring diagram for the radio, put in a new head unit but it wont switch on or off...

The other issue of course with older diesels is making sure the timing is kept, you can lock stuff off but if you've never done it before........ The HDI was a lot easier than some petrol engines ive done. You need 2 bolts to lock the camshaft and the flywheel, every other pulley can be left in any...

Well, thanks for the help but ive refitted the original. Although it comes apart it seems solid enough once the crank bolt is tightened back up. No rattles, so far and touch wood, went back on fine, no swarf anywhere so i decided to reuse it for now and see what happens. Also did the timing belt and...

So, today i finally got round to starting to fit the new water pump and timing belt to the bus. Its an HDI 90 on a 51 plate. Had a job getting the bottom pulley off and once off i "inspected" it. So a couple of questions, its in 2 parts, no bonding, does that mean it needs replacing?? If so is there...

Anyone got a decent towbar for sale? To fit a 2001 HDI 90, ideally with electrics etc. Im midlands but happy to travel a bit to collect. Seems we are buying a caravan!! Looking forward to delaying everyone.

Floppy gear lever sounds like linkage to me. Could also explain the stiffness selecting a gear so that needs sorting first. Have a look around the top of the gearbox to see if you can find a link rod come adrift, the ball will be sitting there with nowt on it and the rod will be dangling somewhere. ...

what with it hitting nearly 60mpg How many MPGees!!! Im lucky if i get 45 out of my 90, i do 400 yds on a normal road, then a dual carriageway A road, then motorway, do 7 miles to work each way now. When i did a 30 mile trip to work i got slightly better though. You must be doing the old man drivin...

Cheers for all the replies, seems i have nothing to worry about then. This was the first time i had brimmed the tank since getting the car, i wonder if its been a while since it was filled up and that threw it out? I now have a can of fuel in the boot ready for when it runs out, or whatever will hap...

I blame the government :P And me, but im a civil servant!! Thing is, ive been watching the fuel guage over the last week or so as im seeing what it does to a full tank. I was on the motorway when it showed 1/3 to 1/2, then on the motorway again when it gained 1/3 tank. It was telling me 186 miles t...

Yep, drive slopes slightly downhill, does that mean the water can get in easier?
