i have done the breather pipes but when car is cold everything runs ok ,but when it gets warm the oil light flashes on and off and beeps. after a few more mins the oil doesnt seem to be getting up to the followers, as the engine starts to make like a tappet noise any ideas scott

happy new year everyone i am having trouble with oil pressure on my 2ltr allhambra 1996, when i take the oil filler cap off there is a lot of air pressure i think it must be a blocked breather but there are pipes everywhere ,which are the breather pipes and how do i repair the problem thanks scott

C,A,L copyed of this site for you,it worked for me,no more water in footwell, Note that the water in the footwell problem has two possible causes. Leaking rear washer fluid (well covered on this site) and a blocked scuttle drain covered here and elsewhere. Diagnosis is simple. If the footwell floods after heavy rain then you have the scuttle drain problem. If it floods in dry weather then you have the washer fluid problem. This scuttle drain problem was relatively easy to solve on my 1996 Galaxy so read this before trying the other posts, which are less complete. The bulkhead (under the windscreen wiper mechanism at the base of the windsreeen) fills up with leaves and other crap. There is a drain hole at the back corner of it about 1.5 inches by 2 inches underneath the pollen filter but you cannot get your hand into that part of the bulkhead, so there is no need to remove the drip tray or the pollen filter or any other parts from inside the bulkhead. The trick is to take the inner plastic wheel arch cover (on the inside of the front passenger side wheelarch (or nearside front for the mechnically minded)). This is held on by six or seven star shaped screws and is very easy to get off. Start undoing the screws from the back - forwards because this plastic inner wing arch is flexible and you'll probably only need to undo 4 screws to get access. Note that some screws are not easy to see so feel inside the wheelarch for them. Pull the inner plastic wheel arch cover away (should come away easily unless you've missed a screw) until you have enough space to get your hand up inside the wheel arch. On the inner wing of the car (the structural part of the car that would still be there if you took the visible wing off), you'll find there is a plastic drain cover with a rubber flap (which it supposed to act as a one way valve). If this drain cover feels blocked then pull it off. Now it is off, you'll be able to clear the hole properly because you'll be able to insert two fingers into the bulkhead and remove any crap that has blocked the drain hole from the outside in. After you've cleaned the joints (with your mother in law's toothbrush), use some epoxy resin like "Araldite" to glue the plastic drain hole cover back on. Then screw the wheel arch cover back on and Bob's your father's brother. Replace your mother in law's toothbrush after a quick rinse.

put on new roter arm and dizzy cap but no spark at leads or king lead,but power at 13+volts on king lead,took exhaust apart and all looks fine,bypassed the 30 relay and still no spark its got me baffled lol

on my allhambra it was the power steering belt that had worn/stretched it was worse when it was cold,new belt and problem gone ,for me anyway, good luck scott

cheers seatkid will do today and let you know
