Due to recent mot failure on chassis corrosion (most of the rear end of the car is crunbling away). Anyway I’m weighing up my options as to what to do. I know I can get the chassis welded to get it through the mot but I know it’ll be just a stop gap as the rest of the chassis isn’t great either...

Basically all that holds the tensioner in place is threaded bolt with a fixed nut to tighten it and loosen it to the power steering pump bracket (I think that's what its attached to) And then there is another nut to attach the power steering pipe bracket on to it Hopefully this image will...

There is a bolt that can leak oil if its not sealed properly. It is shown in this topic https://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?t=23574 with some good pictures too of the bolt. So that could be worth checking out.I think it can be sealed with thread lock or something like that. But if you...

Yea I think any 1.7 engine will fit in :) but engines from cars with air con do have a different power steering set up. But that can be swapped over easily enough I think? So be wary of that. But try and make sure that the engine you are putting in is in good nick :) and whist its out replace...

You can also download the Forscan app onto your mobile phone too. It's not as comprehensive as the laptop version but you can still do things like fault code reading and live data sensor tests :D As well as a few self diagnostic checks. Forscan is a really good program to have and its nice and...

Hi. The "strange noise" was probably the ABS pump. You can normally hear it (although not as loud) when you first drive off as it does a self test. But I'm guessing the noise you heard was loud and quite "groaning"?? The warning lights are to do with the braking system. As to what part of the...

Here's a link for the bulbs in the dash https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T5-3-LED-Car-Bulb-for-Dash-Clock-etc-12-volt-286-3-3528-SMD-WEDGE-BULB-CANBUS/122858450682?hash=item1c9aef2efa:m:m7viBkUlZ9BwreNLcEUkvuQ However I think I did have to make some modifications to the bulbs to get them to work...

I've managed to take some pics of one of the tail lights. Excuse the quality of the photos. Reverse (6000k rating) Sidelight All three White led dash with blue LCD

Check that the plug is pushed in correctly too. I had the same issue and after wiggling the plug about and making sure it was pushed all the way in it cured the problem :grin:

I wouldn't go for those LED headlight bulbs or any LED headlight bulb that has loads of LED's on them. If you want to see why go on youtube and search for headlight revolution. They have tested loads of headlight LED's and the ones to go for are the ones that mimic the original halogen element...

I like to tease :P I'll see if I can get some pics done tomorrow evening :)

I've just changed all my tail lights over to LED. I've used OSRAM LED's rather then using the useral "Chinese" LED's. I know it's more of an expensive outlay using those bulbs. But I figured it'll pay off in the long run because the life expectancy isn't great on the Chinese LED's I have found...

Sorry for hi-jacking this :( Blue do you have more than 1 fixing kit? As I'm in need of one too. My splitter decided to try and part ways with the bumper the other week whilst going down the M4. As a result I need a new splitter and a new fixing kit. From what I can see all 3 centre...
