Hi, mine just went yesterday on my front nearside. I just started to move, maybe one foot then this awefull bang and then a grinding noise. Jumped out to see the nearside leaning badly. When I got it jacked up its then I saw the spring had gone. I was lucky that the garage came and got it. Unlucky t...

Cheers Gary and Lozz, sorry for the late reply. My back has gone off so will wait till thats setled down, maybe a week or so. Thanks for the info gary, I think I should be able to do it from what you say there. Will be back and let you all know how I have got on. Cheers

Morning gents, I have had a look at the top link, the one that alters the tracking and the rubber covers look a bit perished. I know this needs setting up again if changed but reading the advice in the forum if I mark the stud with some sort of paint and replace in the same position it should be fai...

I think I have mentioned it before but I have a clunking on the nearside rear when I go over rough road. I have changed the drop link as this was worn, however the knocking is still there. I have some wear in the bush that I think is the rear suspention arm. It has a biggish bush in it and this is w...

I think after doing some reading that I might just as well buy another MAF. I can see that will be the easiest way to go. Thanks for your time and advice.

Thanks Keppler, I think I might try it and see what happens. The thing is that I dont know how to bring it out of limp home mode if that happens, any sugestions

Thanks for that joethefish, actually a lot of what you said is right. Inside the mafm it has a little rod that looks like a matchstick and two little rods under it. The inside of mine seems to get wet, or at least looks wet when I take it off. I did clean the stick thing with a micro fibre cloth but...

Hi chaps and chapesses, just wanted to now if an engine can run without the mas air flow meter connected. The one I have on now is going faulty (I think). This is the second one albeit a second hand one. When it went funny last year I got one from ebay and its worked ok till the last few weeks. I th...

Hi archangel, my heater blower stopped working a while ago. I checked all sorts and asked questions. It eventually tracked down to the ignition barrel. When I start the car and the fan does not run then I just hold the ignition key and put a small amount of upward presure on it and the fan starts ok...

It was the garage who adjusted it on its MOT. He said it was out of alignment at the time. I think thats why he never charged me anything to do it.

I went down to the garage that done my MOT and they adjusted then at the time (november last year) told him I was not happy with the off side one. He put it on the machine and dropped it to where it should be. No charge. Trouble is I dont like complaining but when its something I have not done its d...

cheers everyone. Sorted.

Hi all, hope everything is ok. I have been trying to see how to alter my headlights. My off side one is high. The electric adjuster is working on both because I can see them move when I turn the knob in the car. Reading my book it is very vague about the process and when I look in the car I cannot s...

Cheers plod. I might just take it to the garage. The mechanic is good and they dont charge the earth. At least that way I have some comeback if the tracking is out. Thanks again.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL

Hi dummysock, was it easy to change the top link. I had a knocking on the back end on nearside and changed the drop link which got rid of a lot of the knocking. Now I can still hear a knock especially when I go over a bump and turning a corner at same time. Usualy on the mini roundabouts and turning...
