Whilst you say the car is unmodified. has it had a different generator fitted ? I found my diesel replacement came with a smaller pulley and so the serpentine is very close (exceedingly) to the return run up top. I kept the old alternator in case I find marks on the outside but that is the...

There are plenty of threads here regarding foglight issues. Good luck.

It's more to do with fluid in the caliper that has been subjected to high temperatures. All contaminants will char and settle in the chamber. Since you have replaced the pads then the capacity reduces considerably but the same amount of debris remains, bleeding will still show clean. Quickly...

I've mentioned before. Get one of these, take the caliper off the ***embly, remove pads and (with the brake reservoir cap off) , squeeze as hard as you can until the piston is fully retracted. All the debris in the pipes should now be in minute pieces and most will be in the reservoir which can...

Just read. RIP. You can bebuild her though......

A hiss ? Were you in traffic ? Check for yoghurt on the dipstick tomorrow.

Good to see recycling in motion. I read your posts and thought you had a 2006 model and so didn't pursue your tales of woe in detail. Which car have you had to relegate to ?

Let her drive from now on.

Is everything within the air intake system standard ? Standard (clean) air filter and all plastics in place and sealing ?

And,,,,,, paid the premium, though only for the Tourer since the multicarwas still nearly £100 more than the two separates. At least I get to accvrue NCDs separately and fully comp gives me access to third party on other vehicles.

Update. One day to go and NFU are close to the existing pemium of my existing broker. I can't believe i've spent nearly five hours on the mobile and another two sending imagery to prove the cars are legitimate.

Not 8th gen but the tourer has had two spots on the bonnet ever since I had her. I'm sure the last owner had a knock on the LHS , the radiator mount, headlight and fittings are testament.

Faulty wiring within the comments but it looks like a hardware issue. Try draining all brake fluid - fully and repenish with new stuff first to save your time.

Since it looks in the main to be a rear of vehicle issue I would start with the wiring loom to the boot area. Are there any cracks in the light fittings that may have let water into the lamps ? Do you have a warm garage you can park the car in for a couple of days ?

Are these useful ?
