Who fitted the ITB's? I'd be asking them if it was wired and set up for the fans before messing with it. If it is, then testing it is just a case of getting the car hot enough for the fans to kick in. You're unlikely to get it hot enough driving (sensibly) on the road unless sat in a traffic...

Don't take this personally, but you really need to work on the advert mate, as it's currently not great. When was the last service, when is the next due? Who changed the cam belt and when? Full service history until you bought it, is this just a stamped book or do you have the invoices too. DO...

You really should have taken it back to the place that changed the pump, it shouldn't have continued to leak after they completed the work. I'd still take it back to be honest, they may help you out. It could be a faulty pump? Either way, get it sorted. You can cause serious damage if you run...

Sounds like all the French auto wipers I've ever used. 306's, 307's, Clio's, C4's - they've all been terrible, the Volvo's work really well though.

Seems drastic to swap all that over, was it just guess work or had someone diagnosed the ECU at fault? Aren't there some well known wiring issues on the 1.2 16v? @MicKPM is your man.

Stop guessing and get it looked at. Bridging this that and the other is only going to end up damaging something if you aren't careful. Do you have breakdown cover? Or could you buy break down cover?

Nice - Ghetto fix

Never used one myself, but my old next door neighbour loves his. Seems to do the job

Nothing sub £100 will give decent shots

108671 & 8200782671 are the same part, it's shared across many cars with the F4R engine. Take a look at this eBay advert. It has all the part numbers for reference, and the list of cars...

How bad is the scratch? can you feel it with your finger/thumb nail? If so, you're unlikely to remove it fully. Do you have and good quality photo's of the damage?

Is it me - or does the bumper look a slightly different colour to the wing in the last photo?

Some of the android boxes have USB ports for storage etc, so they would be able to do what the OP wants.

the 150/180 bhp variants had the K03 K03s turbo, the 225 variant has the K04. (I think)

The black tab, top left. Push that in towards the wires and pull.

You have to be doing something wrong. Can you get a photo of the back?

You are pressing the release catches aren't you?

Any pressure in the A/C system? If so you'll want that vacuuming out first. Don't just unbolt it and vent it all, firstly it'll make a mess and secondly it's illegal. Mort tyre places have the correct machines to vacuum the system, then just take it back to them to refill once fitted.

Thankfully on the Ovlov it takes 10 seconds to remove the headlight - zero tools required!

I'm using Hydrofoam now, foam and hydro2 in one. Takes 30 minutes to get the car washed and looking great as well as beading water really well. http://www.carpro.uk.com/hydrofoam-wash-and-coat-hydro2-snow-foam/

I buy all mine from here http://www.partsulike.co.uk/ These are what I have http://www.partsulike.co.uk/Product/2White6SMD501NonCanbus/2-x-6-SMD-LED-Pure-White-LED-501-T10-W5W-Interior-Light-bulbs-SUPER-BRIGHT I've just nipped outside and got some pics of how they look: Sidelights only...

Most OEM xenon bulbs are usually around 4300k. That's normally a very white light. It's possible that you have some aftermarket bulbs of 5-6000k if it's quite blue. It could also just be because you are comparing it to the yellow sidelights. My advice would just be some LED sidelight bulbs as...

My wifes car was hit whilst parked (by a neighbour) and her policy goes up because of it. It's mental Ok, so it's only a few £ on her policy but it's still wrong. She wasn't even in the bloody thing!

Nilfisk C110 on a tight budget C130 if you can stretch to something more expensive. The extra 20bar is well worth it IMO (I've had both) I have this - It's awesome https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/nilfisk-alto-c130-1-6-pad-x-tra-cold-water-pre/

Something is very very wrong. What car hit the X5? No way that they could be giving details for the wrong motor? (is that one even being repaired?). I'm guessing you have called them since receiving the cheque? What has been said? Surely they can't say £2k is a total loss on a 9 year old X5.

It will depend on a) how well it has been built and b) how far you push the power. Low boost, built well should be no different to a std car. High boost built on the cheap, expect problems

Balamory is actually a place called Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, similar though.

I've just bought this camera too. Excellent deal at Currys. Camera, 2 lenses (18-55mm & 55-200mm) Nikon bag, extra battery and lense cleaner. All for £339 + a £20 cashback from Nikon brining it down to £319...

Cool story bro :smile:

Personally l don't think it's from that van. That looks to be old damage to me, and too high maybe? Decent dent guy will be able to remove most of that I think, depends if it's damaged the paint or not though. Can't tell from the pictures. It's s**t when this sort of thing happens, but not...
