cheers sparky but would that not make the wiper over travel on the opp side of the wipe, also just noticed today in the stationary position the wiper are can move about 30 - 40mm either way

Hi all does any one have a mk1 gal where the rear wiper over travel's i.e wipes some of the paintwork too only about 20mm over the paintwork but still is this a joint that needs replaced or is it a switch that says how far the wiper travels its the start stop side that does it, as the other end of the wipe is about 10-15mm off edge of glass so that is ok any ideas would be great thanks Alan.

what's these helicoils people are on about as I had to drill my 65mm allen key bolts out as someone has try'd taking the heater apart before and just had one bold holding heater together and just put epoxy resin in to make the other look like it is in

cheers chris think i'll get the top one off ebay as my heater is the D3W Z thanks for the links it saves me a head ache looking for the right one thanks again

Hi so is the one that is already in the heater the wrong one as that says BERU 0 100 226 228 yet the code you have is and the one you have put on says BERU GH001,0100 226 340 also the one that is on says 8v at the end is this the voltage and should it not be 12v ? thanks again

Hi all update I have the hydronic D3W Z aux heater can any body give me the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the glow plug as the one I have is a BERU 0 100 226 228 8v and the bloke from parts place said he needs the OEM code to cross reference it please help and thank you

possibly a bearing maybe idoler pully bearing worth a check tho

search for ''universal remote central locking kit mk1 1998'' I done a how to with a few pics if that helps

hi Xavier I done my inner and outer cv boot (had to take drive shaft out) on passenger side its only the second time I done one and only took 2 hours and this would have been quicker if I got the drive shaft out gearbox a bit easier found the circlip (circlip pliers) easy to open and just pulled off end off and the reverse to put back on as for the advisories last mot rear n/s brake pipe badly corroded not changed it but this year not even a advisory so depends on who does the mot

Is it not the pads rubbing the disk go for a easy drive stop and feel the wheel is it hot (watch out it might be really hot tho) have you jacked the front end up and spin the left wheel separate from the right you usually find this if the bearing is goosed also try wobbling each wheel top/bottom and side to side failing that i'd take it to a garage see if they can tell you whats up with it

sorry miss read the 2010 bit thought it was 2000 doh!!!!

the Haynes manual should explain all this I think the door cards pull off and up (make sure that any screws i.e door handle are out first) also the door opener pops off you just replace the yellow fixings on the back hope this helps

if you only get the noise when you turn then try power steering pump or steering rack try a few things like turning while parked up do you still get the noise if not its only when drive train is in motion try putting the front end on axel stands turn both ways do you still get noise try the engine running while on axel stands you may be able to pinpoint the noise a bit better try turning wheels by hand while on the axel stands etc

I would if I was you is to get the car checked out to make sure its not stolen/written off if they have sold a duff one knowing what was wrong with it what else are they hiding the last thing you need is to have the police knock on your door taking the car off you and if the original problem was not fixed but they were made aware of the problem then they are liable to fix the problem even if the warranty is up as long as they were made aware before the warranty is up

try ford parts Gateshead i think they send engines out on pallet if thats any good for you

try swapping it with another relay if you got one they only a few quid anyway

I'm not quite sure but does the tow bar indicators not have a separate relay switch i think the caravan indicators may be too much for the original relay I may be wrong but worth looking at where the wires are wired in

hi I did not use the window open close option on my kit so couldn't help but if you ask on the forum every one was very helpful with me when I done the kit for my car

a bit more info might help colour of smoke, oil level is it ok, water level is it ok could be a turbo problem/injector problem even head gasket but will need more info

ahh got you now sorry socket won't work let us know if you find a way of getting them off !

e-bay do a full set two front and two back tinted £29.99

We were on about window wind deflectors not the window wipers but I have the AERO BLADE WIPERS off e-bay and think you can get a pair for £7.50

Probably best just to get the old ones off (old socket hammered over the top) and put new ones on

try a scrappy for the springs probably £1 each

cheers all, paul pollen filter has been changed recently about 2 month ago no difference old one was a bit black tho, checked all the usual stuff water in the foot well (bone dry) the rear wash pipe (no leaks) the cover under the bonnet sat right checked all the drain holes (made sure they are clear) might give the deflectors a go
