You have a PM Jim

My temperature is now really weird according to the gauge. After start up she'll get to about 76oC then shoot up to 97oC then go back down to 76 again and then go back to about 88-89 and stay there. I don't know if it's the Info centre playing up or it because of the matrix but since my coolant leve...

Its not quite so simple as the steering column (only the big rectangular section the parts below that are the same) is a different length and the yoke is also different , the plastic casing is also different. Basically you need a "new" column and all the bits that go with it. Other than that its an...

As the title says I'm after a Digital Clock for my Celeb'.
I'm located in the UK so one located in the UK would be ideal!

Cheers,

I have a 95 Celeb' with the ugly old steering wheel with an airbag of course but I'd like to change it for a wheel without a bag.
Is there any issue with doing this? Warning lights on the dash etc?

Whatever it is I hate!

The stuff I got did no good whatsoever and tbh I think I might just get my paint shop to stick it back on when I get them to repair my sill.

I got the idea into my head of removing all the door molding strips from my car as they're marked and the driver's one was falling off. I took the driver's one of easily but left behind all the snot crap an I'm waiting on the postman with some Carb Cleaner, but I'm struggling to remove the other str...

Your right Van, sorry Jim

I'd quite like to know this as well.

I tried to register with the club and it confirmed that it'd been sent but I'm yet to get an email back and it's easily been 2 weeks or so now!

What should I do now as I really want to buy some club merchandise.

Thanks for the photos David. Your right, it does look quite cool. My flame red celeb' would probably suit it even better me thinks!!

I ordered some of that spray but I do need to repaint under the molding I've already taken off as it took some paint with it!!

Such as??
I really don't want to damage the paint too much!

Haha! High level brake lights are illegal apparently...
good read though never the less.

I took the Driver's panel off the other day and was shocked to see the condition of the paint underneath!! The glue stole some of the paint!! I'm going to have to take her to the paint shop or glue on the piece again. Since there's a rust bubble on the sill I'll take her to the body shop and get the...

Hub is a place for the bearing. My 1986 es have rear discs integrated with hub and bearing. In my 1990 turbo discs are independent part. Hub and bearing is mounted on the rear axle.

So my 1995 Celeb' needs the one's without yeah?

I don't find any at the 100+ on ebay, is this not the right one or something?

...coming loose and are scruffy. For instance the driver's trim is coming off and catches on the wing so needs attention.

I want to take them all off, would it look cool? Has anyone else done this?

I'm so confused!!

When looking for new discs I'm finding 2 sets of prices, one for discs with hubs and ones without. What are these hubs and which should I buy??

As it turns out I blew up my downpipe.
Had it bodged but I need a new one, they quoted me around £400!! I see them on ebay new for around £50 but can anybody recommend these??

O Der!! Got the exhaust done today by Powerflow of Worcester and I was very happy until about 7.30pm when I put my foot down in 3rd on a clear road. The loudest bang you'll ever hear! It sounded like the gearbox exploded but no, it's the worst exhaust blow in the world!!!!! The car is now sooooo lou...
