I asked him what he meant and got this as reply

by water spray getting on to the belt and so losing traction on the power steering pump pulley IIRC

two small points - whilst not getting in the way of your 'discussion' 1) torque using the conversion 5252 needs to be in foot lb not in Newton Metre (a conversion of 1.355 IIRC) 5252 - only covers the 550 foot pound per sec to rpm side of things 2) max power and max torque for an engine are often not at the same rpm the point being that at 1900 they may have their max torque but not necessarily their max power so I can't see how you can equate max power to max torque ay a specified engine speed and in this case I don't know if they have their max power at the same rpm so for the 115 the torque at 4000 is 111nm (max power) and the power at 1900 is only 63 bhp (max torque) :D :D

so mk1 - is that the 90 or 110 bhp engine don't know mk1 very well? Stick the details in your signature

ok no probs - pm me if needed - just a thought though - have you investigated the wiring as it passes through the rubber boot between door and pillar - common problem with wires breaking inside the insulation and can give rise to intermittent faults - some info in the faq

Haven't managed to work out yet whether this can apply to business accounts or not - some info seems to say not ??

Hi I'm not too far from you - peterborough way - you don't say what year mk1 or mk2 - happy for you to try end of next week if it helps you

agreed thing about the wind this weekend - it was blustery, strong wind/no wind/changed direction so at times the door could be pushed in then pulled out certainly with some force :lol:
