Some general questions

[gashead1968]

Sorry if these are in wrong topic but have various questions that i hope people may answer for me.

Just bought a 2000 2.0l lx 406 saloon, been told this is a d9

few issuses

Knocking from front end over bumps/manhole covers etc, what could cause this?

Drivers seat seems ro have alot of backwards movement even tho all adjustments are locked in place.

Speedo and temp dash bulbs not lighting, are these easy fit and are the a buld and holder or just a capless bulb pushed into holder?

Drivers door will only lock with key as because of this none will lock off keyfob they just bounce back from lock to unlock, in solenoid are these easy to reach with door card off??

and found out yesterday in the rain that evey now and then i get a really lound squeel from rear end that stops at the end of braking and returns a while later but then can stop for ages, not noticed this in dry weather tho.

last but not laest i miss my Mp3's so is radio easy change to any standard single din? and can remote paddle still work??

Again sorry to post in here but so many questions to ask

Thanks inadvance

Either pear shaped part of top engine mount which screws into O/S wheel arch, drop links or antirollbar bushes.

Drivers seat seems ro have alot of backwards movement even tho all adjustments are locked in place.

Are all the seat bolts tight?

Speedo and temp dash bulbs not lighting, are these easy fit and are the a buld and holder or just a capless bulb pushed into holder?

Pretty straight forward job, you need to remove the dash surround to get the cluster out. They are the bulb in holder type, standard dash bulbs.

You'll need a fascia surround but other than that straight fit, apparently there are adaptor cables available to allow use of the stalk.

Knocking - my moneys on Drop links. Not that expensive and fairly easy to change.
