been to garage they have diagnosed gear selector linkage has exploded into a thousand tiny pieces.how much for a new one?

well thought the clutch had gone in the old girl yesterday as went to pull away from lights and nothing. gear lever was stiff to get any gear. eventally manage to find 3rd with engine running quick shove and off, anyway, go to get it on the recovery truck this morning and everything is fine again. Does anyone have any ideas what has caused this and will it return? Oh had both driveshaft replaced about 2000 miles ago

looks like the rubber ring from a driveshaft. Think it is used to balance or dampen out vibrations?

is that from vw? if so what colour as i think mine is green/yellow

haven't yet... i disconnected the rear wash pipe from the reservoir under the n/s bumper

stripped out the roof lining yesterday both drains were attached but ended up siliconing the sunroof as the motor had faied anyway. thought one less thing it could be. still stumped though?

right ok to tell the story had the misses complain abot 2 weeks ago about the lake that had formed in the car. She wasnt happy :( So with help from this forum i knowingly told her that the water pipe for the rear wash wipe had come loose. so I disconnected the rear feed, cut the mat out to dry out, and then reasembled a couple of days later. Job done or so i thought. Now last week the loch had reappared complete with nessie the monster. More ear bashing pursued. So back to the forum, must be the scuttle drains i concluded :). a half hour or so of work only to find after removing the wheel arch linings that there was no blockages and i could easily get a couple of finger throught the hold. So now I'm stumpped. If anyone has any futher ideas i'd be glad to try them.

plenty of generic power steering fluid but none to the ford spec...

Other than Frauds when can i get hold of enough to change the complete fluid in system?

well left it overnight and now the drivers switch will open and close the window but not the one on the door. do the electrics run through both switches?

after spending 2-3 hours splicing new wires in my windows still dont work. It does make a click sound like a solnoid but the window still doesnt move. Any one with a new idea?

cool.. thanks everyone for the help B)

so the mt75 would be ok to use then? also halfords is alot closer for me

i'm replacing the driveshafts and need to check the oil level. Went to halfrauds and they sold me a litre of GEAR OIL MT75, which has a spec of ford ESD-M2C186-A. Is this the same as the haynes manual spec of WSD-M2C200-C?
