    I've just used this method to reset my SRS light after removing my front seats for cleaning. Worked a treat :)

    H.I.D conversion kits

    I'm considering upgrading the headlights on my car to HID, but looking under the bonnet it looks a bit full and I don't know where I'd fit the ballast packs. Can anyone suggest a suitable location? Cheers

    door inner plastic liner

    Cheers for the replies, much appreciated. I'll look for some of the butyl sealant tape, that sounds much more user-friendly than mastic. I've since had the passenger door card off and that membrane has been badly refitted in the past - the window has been replaced at some point because there...

    door inner plastic liner

    I've had the Drivers door card off my car today to investigate a window rattle and attempt my own dent removal! I had to take off the plastic liner sheet which was stuck down with a phenomenal amount of the stickiest, most evil substance known to man! I've used white spirit to clean off the...

    Air Conditioning - any weak points in the system that could cause trouble?

    Turns out in the end the condenser was shot, despite appearing to be in good condition. Ah well. It's arctic inside now!

    Air Conditioning - any weak points in the system that could cause trouble?

    Well it turns out the gas only lasted about 3 days before disappearing! Had to go to a specialist for a pressure test because the local garage I'd initially gone to couldn't do a Nitrogen fill. They found a leak on the drier inlet connection. Replaced the seal and went back to the local...

    Air Conditioning - any weak points in the system that could cause trouble?

    Thanks for your reply. I got the system re-gassed and anti-bacteria treated today and it's now ice-cold! For info, if anyone is interested there is 700g gas in the system (someone was asking in an old post)

    Air Conditioning - any weak points in the system that could cause trouble?

    The Air-Con isn't working in my car at the moment. Before I bought it it was standing around for about 2 years, only covering about 1000 miles a year. The condition under the bonnet for a 15yr old car is very impressive and all the components look to be in good condition and I'm suspecting all...

    DIY 6th Gen Pollen Filter Howto

    Brilliant guide, very well written and illustrated. The airflow in my car was so bad I couldn't de-mist the windscreen on a trip out in the wain today. I am currently filter-less and have a footwell full of trim until I get a new element, but at least I can de-mist the windscreen using the now...

    Driver's auto electric window fail

    Wow, that was remarkably easy! What kicks it out of the Auto mode anyway? Having something stuck in the window as it goes up..? Thanks for the solution, much appreciated.

    Driver's auto electric window fail

    Greetings everyone, New to the Forum and recently bought a 1999 2.0 VTEC. One minor niggle is that the driver's electric window does not operate in the "AUTO" mode. It goes up and down fine, but it won't go all the way up/down when the switch is fully pressed. Can anyone help with a...
