Estimate to investigate and cure electrical problems £350 ish + vat. Estimate for mot repairs £150 ish +vat. ...

Any Photos?

Well, The AAman has just been. Unfortunately his diagnostic kit would not read any faults! :!: But his techie guys have diagnosed a faulty throtle potentiometer. He has left the Maf unplugged also and the car seems to run ok. So we are going to chance the 500mile drive home on tuesday and hope for t...

Well, I have tried all the local garages and some even further afield all to no avail. They all apear to be very busy and the earliest I could get it looked at is the middle of next week! I guess if you were thinking of opening a new business, then you couldnt go far wrong with a garage in Inverurie...

Thanks guys for your quick response.
I think I will see later if the light has corrected itself,
but will get it plugged in to see what the problem is
before making the long journey home next week.

While driving from Northampton upto Aberdeen today, the little engine light on the dash board came on. The engine carried on running faultlessly for approx 200mls after the light came on,. Is this something that I should be concerned about or will it get me home aprox 500mls after my break? Ed 2000 ...

Alloys would be best!

Thanks for the quick reply. Where in Notts are you and how much do you want for them?

Hi,
I am after a set of wheels to put some winter tyres on for my 2000, W reg 110Hdi Executive estate.
Preferably alloys, but steels would do, 15" of course1.
As near to Northampton (NN2) as possible!

Hi, I am after a pair of 15" steel wheels for alloy wheel bolts so I can put some winter tyres on and put the alloys into the back of the garage for the winter. I put some winter tyres on the front only last year (all I could afford at the time) and have decided that it would be better to have them ...

Thanks for all the advice, but as the car goes for its MOT tommorrow, the electrician is going to do the wiring for me.

No just single electrics, so that I can tow my Dellow trials car around.

I have got hold of a towbar for my W reg 110HDI estate. Fitting it is no problem, a very comprehensive instruction sheet and fixings kit came with it. The problem is the electrics which I hate doing myself. I have found a yellow and a blue connector behind the offside rear light cluster that look as...

Thanks for that!! My car has just the same controls and I have wondered since
I got the car 6 months ago how the cc worked as the handbook shows something
completely different to whats in the car.
I will be giving it a try out now in the morning!!

I have used, and still do use, remould tyres on my Dellow Trials car for both on road and off road work. Nothing wrong with them! and at sub £20 each for what is effectively a new tyre exceedingly good value. On the trials car you could sometimes nock out a pair of tyres after only a couple of event...
