... In the merry merry month of August With all the rain we've had I was getting a bit pissed off with the puddle that kept appearing in the passenger side footwell, especially as I thought I'd found the cause. Off came the scuttle over the wiper mechanism, had a brush around to get the dirt...

I get the "Pinking"/Knocking sometimes on my Coilpack CG10DE. No idea what's causing it, as I only use regular unleaded in it. That said, I HAVE taken the Resonance Tube off the airbox, but surely THAT wouldn't affect ignition timing??

I know that from the reading I did before buying them (the resistance is wrong, hence the original question). it just seems odd that they won't work in the front but are fine in the back, Hyperflashing aside..

All rather moot anyway: They won't work at all in the FRONT (not a glimmer!), but work in the back (albeit flashing 20 to the dozen!). So I went back to the old Incandescent bulbs in the indicators, and now have LED Rear Fog lamp and LED reversing lamp, leaving me with two spare LED 21W bulbs...

Any reason?

Pretty much what it says in the title. I'm changing all my bulbs to LEDs (because I'm a sad git). Should I go for a replacement Indicator Relay, or fit resistors?

There's a spring underneath the body that is the return spring, and it regularly breaks. You need to take the exhaust heat shield off to get at it, then just bend the broken end of the spring into a hook and reattach it. When I did it the bolts holding the heat shield on sheared off, but other...

Nope: I've looked :/

Check the gearbox oil!!

Badges are held on the same way.

The door strips are just stuck on. A bit of leverage and they come off leaving the goo they stick them on with. No idea about the fog blanks, but they probably just prise out.

Strip out the interior to make it lighter. Then you don't have to worry about rear seat passengers :)

What a brilliant Sleeper-Rat THAT would make!!!

The clutch is being done this weekend, and as most people recommend draining the oil from it before starting I'll need to replace it. What oil do people suggest for a 107K mile K11C 1.0 gearbox?

I can't even find any cheap used buckets for my car :(

Today my Micra got a bit Horny!

The Tiger was too complex mechanically to be a decent Battle Tank: The Sherman was a decent Medium tank, let down by a poor gun and running on 100 octane PETROL, so one hit and they brewed up like a barbecue on a summer day! The T-34 had sloped armour and the same engine as they put in a lot of...

I want to do that to get rid of the remaining soundproofing. Is there a How To on here? The Haynes Joke Book, er I mean Manual doesn't even give a clue!!

yeah, I did try that but it didn't seem to budge. I'll try a wider bladed screwdriver next time.

I was upset when they blew up a Sierra on Top Gear because I was area rep for the Ford Sierra Owners Club at the time. That was probably the last time I watched it.
