I believe with some pedals there's a calibration you can do, which involves a combination of turning the car on and off while depressing and releasing the gas pedal - might be worth googling this and giving it a try if it's relevant to your car* I'm not sure what the issue is, possibly some...

they're hiding the good google in finland!

Ignore the title, but this is a video that I watched a few months ago that showed the process for changing them over and also a comparison between the types of mounts you can buy and how they affect the car - was a good watch and may help you out with specifics and building the confidence to...

go inside the car, lock all of the doors that you can with the push button on the door leaving one for you to get out of, and then you should be able to use the key in the door to lock the last one, the key slot may be hiding behind some plastic that you have to pull off

I believe there's a screw top and bottom, and it slides downwards out of the way and then the airfilter you can get a grip on it and pull it out towards you like a casette if that makes sense In the picture that Rauf posted it's either this one or this one (circled in red) YP9uCDf.jpg The...

Could be a bad battery under load? Starter motor seems to be working, but once fully cold it doesn't have enough amps to get it going. In this case you would see spark, but the energy of the spark may not be enough causing misfires in non-ideal start condition and the starter motor may not be...

mine has done that since I got it around 10 years ago, I never bothered to fix it because I thought that was how it was meant to be until just recently I believe there's some sort of vent alongside the filler neck which you can clean out, and I remember seeing it on someone's blog post about...

The front crossmember replacement can be had for around £50 for this car, it's a bit of a pain to fit but if the rest of the car is good then I don't see why it should put you off buying it. The reason they seem to rot is because there's a little shelf below the grille/radiator that seems to...

are they taking the piss @Nicko You want something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Xpork-Extractor-Suction-Diesel-Transfer/dp/B07DF84FL8 You can find different kinds/brands by searching "manual oil suction pump" but they work well for most fluids in a car. Provides much more vacuum than a...

Had my battery off the car now for over 6 weeks, just wanted to know if I'm likely to have any issues with the ECU or keys when I connect it back up? It's a 1999 facelift 1.0l with the red chip in the key (no buttons on it) It was broken for a while and I remember I kept taking it off and...

Hard to say what temperature it got up to, but I don't think you'll have done much damage I know that with the radiator cap off it will boil in about 10 minutes but water boils at higher temperatures with more pressure like with the lids on, but of course better not to have a rad fan than to...

It sounds like you may have 2 issues occurring at the same time The engine coolant sounds like there could be air in the system. To solve this park on a hill with the front of the car facing up hill, idle the car and allow the radiator fan to come on and off a few times, when the car has cooled...

Good video, I like when a guide assumes you have no prior knowledge because it means that anyone can follow it Haynes manuals are useful, but you have to already know or figure out quite a bit to get the job done

definitely sounds like NATS if it's cutting out, with fuel blockage issues it will usually idle if nothing else The problem with the 2 buttons that are not working, those are above the ECU. It could possibly be that water has got in there. The water is a common issue it drops down through the...

The LED above the radio isn't functional, it flashes all the time as a theft deterrent and goes out when the key is turned in the ignition so it can't be used to tell if you have an immobiliser problem or diagnose any issue. The immobiliser is inside the ECU in this car, there is a light on...

I did my steel wheels gloss black and it's stood up really well over the years, my trims are painted dark black so the whole thing is black and red (the bumpers are colour coded, but the pinstripe and door stripe, as well as some cutouts on the front and back bumper are black, I think they were...

A dent that is small may be pulled out at home, I have seen methods including pushing it from the back, using a suction cup from something like a shower holder or a plunger, and warm water (on certain parts of the bodywork but not others, watch on youtube) If the dent is particularly deep due...

for your issue I would try removing the fuel pump from the car and testing it directly from the battery, it sounds like the problem could be the fuel pump itself and this would confirm the issue If the fuel pump works then you know it must be an issue with the wiring/ECU/relay/ground/etc If the...

possibly suspension strut or wheel alignment/bushings if it's only on one side, also possibly engine mounts? Could be a few things

Some miserable gits around, not sure what motivates them to do that
