  1. She's a busy girl, sent me a message ( or should that be massage??) at 5.20 am!
  2. Try getting someone to gently push the bonnet down while pulling on the release lever, i need to do that to mine sometimes

  4. Guy i work with has had a sedona from brand new -failed its first MOT on rusty brake pipes -he was not a happy bunny
  5. Has Maz left us? never seen her on here for ages.
  6. does the 5000/6000 series radio have a built in amp or is it seperate? i was thinking of changing my original radio/cassette unit which i know runs on a seperate amp,and was wondering if it was a straight forward swap?
  7. you might have to wind the pistons in (clockwise if i remember rightly) and open the bleed nipple to allow the brake fluid to escape-an ABS valve won't let the fluid back towards the master cylinder ,at least i had to on my 96 gal-yours might be different,other than that a pretty straightforward job
  8. Has to be a joke in there about checking the cat!
  9. Anybody found their gal on Google maps yet?just pleased i washed mine before they came around with the camera car!
  10. How badly is it smoking? if the turbo seals have gone you should get a proper smoke screen!+ very poor performance ., Is the oil level ok,not overfilled? as that might be forcing oil into the cylinders, passing the piston rings . What sort of mileage has it done? could be just a knackered engine!
  11. Sounds like the same problem i had with mine ,easy enough job to do ,just a sod to get to the cable ! go for a cable change if you can,sods law the repair will fail in the middle of nowhere,make sure the new cable ends are securely popped over the ball joints on the gear box levers as they can be a very tight fit, and give the impression of being on , only to pop off a few miles down the road-oh how i laughed! :angry2:
  12. Looks like the brake light switch at the top of the brake pedal has failed ,easy enough to change it
  13. Had continental premium contacts on mine for a few years now,still loads of life in them,and were a decent price when i got them
