I hoovered it? not the whole thing just the front seats and footwells and I fixed the lock on my petrol flap, I want to take the doorcards off and fix the locks in the doors while I have the tools to do it but it's too wet/windy/cold

Sensor problems are very hard to diagnose because the ECU compensates to keep the engine running In an ideal world there would be a test circuit for every sensor to verify that it's reading between acceptable ranges I'd go with resoldering as the first thing you do, it's pretty much free as...

On some k11's there is a pinstripe the entire length of the car, from quarter panel near the light to rear light, am I right in thinking this is a sticker? anyone know how to get it off and replace it? I need to replace the quarter panel and repaint some areas

I had no idea it was an MOT failure I don't think you can without having the airbag replaced, any attempt to bodge it could set it off, even if you cleared the code using a scan tool when they turn the car off and back on the code would likely come back

I know the range sells spray paints specifically for plastics, not sure what you'd do for the lettering though

Airbags have explosives in them for it to inflate, the reason they put that timeframe on there is because they can become unstable I think, not sure where I read that Ideally you would replace the airbag every 10-15 years to make sure it inflates in the event of a crash. My k11 has no sort of...

even brand new ones are tight, not sure why I think it's just because it's a difficult place to be able to get a good grip on it and because it's plastic except for the screw bit After mine started to strip the only way I got it out was with a lot of patience and a spanner attached to the...

Some of them are just programmed to come on after 10 years If your car is a 2009/2010 model, this would explain it

thank you They're the flat surface-type LEDs but with some sort of voltage regulator on there with resistors so that they can manage anything from 11 to 14.5 with the same brightness, trying to beef up the interior lights a little bit - wiring them all to a separate switch

Alright guys, having a bit of a brain fart I'm trying to wire some strip lights, the strip lights are already done and wired in series and will run with 12-14v power I need to combine them all together in parallel In total there are going to be 6 branches, 3 coming off each side and varying...

Is it possible your car was born an automatic and somebody converted it? Those autoboxes are terrible it could have broke and somebody swapped the engine One thing you could do is just wire a 12v line to the back, with a button-press switch near the gear lever (or on top of the gear lever if...

try to get one that's powered by the rechargable battery that a wireless drill is powered by, those are plenty bright

I've seen one of those only once before, very rare car, very cool I like the seats especially, be a great replacement for the bright orange ones they put in the celebration/profile

I've never had more trouble in my life with a screw than with the ones on that bloody distributor

it's not so bad once you get used to it, even though it feels quite unstable I've had to swerve a few times and the wheels have always stayed firmly planted, it being FWD really helps. Once on a motorway I was doing about 80mph on an unlit section of road, late at night, I'd only seen trucks...

I've only heard good things about airtex parts, but never had one installed on my own car yet

Well, it wouldn't be ideal :ROFLMAO: You could uprate the suspension parts and see if it helps, there's a bridge I go over on the highest section of the UK motorway network and I get buffered by wind going over it, the car being light probably doesn't help. Most GT cars designed for long...

The suspension is quite soft on these, there is a ton of body roll, reminds you to take roundabouts slow and save the tyres ;) What you've described, my steering does start to get light around about 70mph, I get vibration at 60mph (I think it's my tyres) but that goes away once I hit 65mph...

It could be a faulty gauge, or it could be a faulty float valve, since it goes up half way it's unlikely to be the link between the front and back of the car The float valve is attached to the fuel sender unit, it could be a sign that it's a little gunked up in there which may be a good time to...

White smoke is usually coolant, although can be steam Take it out for a good drive on a motorway so the whole exhaust is warm and then pull over at a services and see if there's still smoke. If so, you're probably burning coolant - which best case scenario is O rings and worse case scenario is...
