    car won't start

    TDC sensor's can stop the engine cranking, only when the connection is completely shot though. When mine went both the starter and the TDC died together :(

    car won't start

    Have you tried the TDC sensor ? killed mine, just makes a clicking noise when attempting to start. Good way to test this is to take a spark plug out and try start it and see if it sparks GL :)

    My boot lid's got a bit of a rattle going on, can anybody else have a quick look at the metal arm/hook on the boot liner/bumper and tell me if there's has any play. Think mine might need changing.

    Which bulbs for Radio/Clock Display?

    My drivers side is like this too, the scrap yard is handy for things like this as you can see whats on offer before you buy/pocket :P Might also worth noting you have to remove your dashboard to replace the bulb (You probably already know :P)...

    Wheel Bearing replacement

    Fairly easy to do if its a barrel, just fiddly. If its a disk its just as easy but you might have to grind the old bearing off :P

    182 alloys

    Using standard springs and no lowering, im sure the DCI has slightly firmer springs anyway so you might not see any of the rubbing i have.

    182 alloys

    When i got them they had 195/45/R16's on them (Aparently for track use) but i use 205/45/R16's on them on at the moment, and i used an online calculator and found the radius had dropped slightly knocking my speedo my 0.05%. Other than the rubbing on one side and a slighly pecamistic MPG reading...

    182 alloys

    They should be fine, i have them on my 1.4 and they are ok bar the passanger rear corner. That side will rub if you corner fast enough, havn't had any signs of rubbing on any other wheel :P

    Hubcap Spanner - 172

    It's a little plastic key (T shaped) with 3 small straight prongs at each point of a triangle, you could probably go to the scrap yard and take it out the emergency repir kit in the boot :P

    Throttle Body Removal (K4M)

    I have the 1.4 16v which I believe is the same/similar layout to your own, I also did not de-pressurise mine when I took my TB out (I think that may be relating to removing the intake manifold and injectors) The first step is to remove both the bolts holding your coolant bottle in place and move...

    Cabin noises coming from roof/light area?

    Hi :D I believe the noise coming from the roof is part of the climate control, it suggests you will need a new sensor which will cost roughly £25 - £30 to replace The washer bottle you will probably have to remove the plastic trim in front of the windscreen to get an idea of where its leaking...

    Radio Code... Confused!

    Sump plug washer
