you'd think they could find something else to be getting on with while waiting for the oil to settle down

nice composition BJ, btw looking at the 3 black bumps on the wasps head I would assume its one of our german friends

last time I did this (not a gal) used lithium grease and applied to the teeth and the helical bit so that it rotated and move in and out smoothly - IIRC

has the air-con compressor seized and caused the belt failure ?

battery in key almost done?? do you have domes near rear view mirror and at the back? - infra red giveaway Folks may be able to help more with more details eg age of vehicle - shove your details in the signature line - click on signature in my sig for help

usual to whip it off and grease the bendix (cog on helical gear which engages with the teeth on the flywheel) shaft gets dirty/sticky and wont disengage quickly after engine has started sounds noisey/screechy until it lets go.

[paranoia on] you accusing me of something :blink: ???????? cos if you are it wasn't me I was never there and did nothing [paranoia off] ;) ;) :lol: :lol:

as matt jr said - check the wires in the door - pillar boots - check the faq

agree and in my younger days Cheech & chong

looks very nice - jealous

when I changed the maf it looked pristine and a swipe with IPA covered cotton bud had no effect (or any dirt) - it was not dirty or clogged different technology as SK has said

after you have added the attachment it should be listed below that box, are you then clicking the button next to it to add into the post (at the current cursor position)?

very common on galaxies - see many previous threads, formula sd oil comes in 5 litre containers only need 4.5l - if they cut corners and not change the oil filter can end up another litre overfilled - I always check before leaving the garage and they give me the container with the other 0.5l for top ups between services

probably would help to know the model/year shove your details in your signature - click on the read link in my signature for help

umm this wasp was not particularly large - seemed like a british standard wasp at the time - is it just wasps you don't like or bugs in general :D something more serene then

you'll upset him :( Post Meridian Thirst - grab a beer :(

stroppy m.... :huh: Ps -I found it harder puzzling out the mess of quotes etc than ignoring a post without the link :( cheers made it easier to read :(

Photos from digital camera thread here are some sample images taken when we got the camera last october Nik - Is that two wasps or the same one? Are they common wasps or German? same wasp but looked like a common wasp but not sure of the difference :huh:

how many wires - any chance of colours ?

oh so it worked fine :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :wacko:

kick in temp does seem to vary - read some reports of as low as 5C up to 15C :rolleyes: as for the disconnected wire - possibly it has smoked (older type glowplug) in the past and rather than sort it someone just removed the wire :rolleyes:

not familiar with mk1 but possibly the air intake temp sensor ???????????????????????

I'm sure I've read somewhere about a spare connector/wire around here but I don't think this is it, is there evidence that it was connected - plastic clean where it would mate to a socket :rolleyes:

no help but one day I'll try and take a picture of this little b*gg*r :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I'm always doing it :) :D It would help if the op would sort his signature out :wacko:
