Shit mate!

Glad you're ok, they didn't do anything to the car after you got away did they though? hopefully not

I've removed the clips on the underside of the doorcard and replaced them with screws, you can't see them unless you look under the door and the annoying squeak has gone Other than that there seems to be alot of blu-tack between various bits of trim to stop them making noises, still got a few more t...

OK, not a car but

Honda Fireblade, loony machine, after having some fun with that cars seem to be lacking a little something (and they have too many wheels ), was just a shame I had to give it back

I need another bike...

Awful thing, I put my toolbox in the boot and the back suspension bottomed out, then every time I went round a corner it slid across the boot and made the back end of the car hop sideways

But if nothing else - it was funny

the ES has a mechanical speedo.

Mechanical speedo no, the ES has an electronic one the same as the turbo, all 3 ES's I've had have anyway

Would be better off with an M59 though as it's a stronger box

Happy birthday Ad

I'm fairly sure the bottom radiator hose is the same, when mine split I went to the local scrappy to see if I could get a replacement and they all looked identical to me (apart from the diesel one that is) - unfortunately scappys tend to cut the bottom hose on cars these days so I ended up buying a ...

Hmmm... One of my mates has recently bought a 405td and it's had exactly the same problems as your's Rob, with the added bonus of his heater matrix going as well And our 306, don't even go there... constant banging (not knocking, too loud for that) from the back end, a whole collection of odd noises...

I thought the n/a engines stayed the same throughout production, and it was just the turbo version that changed through the years

Have fun John

Cheers all - from both of us :D Stayed at Mablethorpe for the weekend, spent saturday in Skeggy with a side trip to Lincoln in the afternoon, lots of beer was consumed and fun was had but there's one thing that's confusing me... In the bar at the campsite there were sidebars selling other stuff, but...

Cheers all

Got half day holiday booked from work tomorrow so some point in the afternoon I'm heading to Skeggy for the weekend, should be fun...

You're right Rob, there's definitely a pcb under that cover that controls the IC

Fantastic story

The sensor you changed is the correct one for the temp display Try earthing the wire that goes to that sensor (with the ignition on) if the wiring/dash is ok the gauge will max out, meaning it's a sensor fault, if it stays at the bottom then it's either the wiring or the gauge on the dash thats at f...

Nice one Dan
