    valver question

    When i replaced (or had replaced!!) the pedal i had the cable done at the same time as it had somehow been crimped. Should have put that. You should be able to test the cable by findind it (look at the top of the clutch pedal and pulling it. Tension indicates it is ok, but worth taking it out...

    valver question

    Could be the clutch pedal itself, it has a self adjusting mechanism at the top of the pedal and the plastic teeth could have worn meaning they no longer grip on each other causing (possibly) the spring which created the tension in the pedal and the cable itself to become unhooked. If it is...

    Damp Start

    the car was serviced in Feb, so think the plugs were done then. The HT leads were done 2 years ago. The car is fine after about 30 seconds. Should i check all the plugs?

    Beware the CAT C write-off!

    isn't there something in UK Law about being a 'knowledgeable party' wherebuy if you buy a car from a garage, and it makes a funny noise when you buy it. The seller (knowledgeable party) says it is supposed to make that noise and you buy it on that basis, you have grounds to seek compensation...

    This whole CV boot / Driveshaft thing

    I know it has probably been asked a million times, but i had a 20 point check done by renault on my valver (foc) and they noted that one cv boot was cracked and one leaking grease. for a technically inept person like me, what does this mean? How bad is it? What are the consequences of leaving...

    Valver owners: Have you ever

    never been in another valver! Tis a shame i know. But have any other valver drivers actually had to replace the clutch pedal (because the plastic teeth that make up the self tightening thingy have worn down so it doesn't work?) Cheers Anyone in surrey (Epsom) have a valver i can use as a...

    Valver owners: Have you ever

    replaced the full cdlutch pedal assembly (it was the self tightening mechanism thingy (apologies for the technical description!!!) that went, meaning when the clutch pedal was pushed down fully the clutch was not dis-engaged) and the clutch cable was replaced at the same time. The clutch has...

    what would be the most likely.....

    if it is a sensor how much a are they to replace? cheers

    what would be the most likely.....

    Cause of my ABS warning light on my Valver to be permentaly on now. The only thing i can think i may have done would be to knock a sensor or wire or something when i washed the wheels with a giant bottle brush thing. Cheers
