Broke the alternator belt last night not a nice thing on the Mistral as the warning lights come on then a short time later no brakes as such and the buzzer comes on when you put your foot on the brake pedal. Takes a bit to pull up without full power/ boost on the brakes Nothing like using the...

Suggest you check the tension on the alternator belt first could be a tad lose and after warming up the belt is gripping better. Might not be much but just enough to be annoying.

You should be able to get a 22mm bit with a reduced end to fit your chuck on the drill. A engineer supply shop should have them Don't drill out to much otherwise you could weaken the bracket ? They were made that size for a reason ;) Why not just put them on when you need them, saves the...

Have a look at the rear seal that sits on the body work above the door. Sort of like a gutter on the roof, the rubber sits on a lip which often gets gunked up with grit & rubbish. You should be able to pull the rubber seal off and clean it up then slip it back on check to see if it has rusted at...

Tried all of those but have found the problem. Got the locksmith in when I told him what had happened he asked if it was a Nissan. It appears there an extra but in the lock that drops down and jams the tumbler, he repaired it and every thing is back to normal. If you start having problems with...

Has anyone had the problem of the key being jammed in the lock. Drivers side door was unlocked by the key and then the key jammed at about 11 o'clock position on the way back up stuck hard and the key won't turn or come out stuck fast. Disconnected key tumbler from the locking mechanism and no...

Do you really need locking nuts??? If you can get puzzle nuts I'm sure the person who is going to pinch wheels will have a set. The easiest one to pinch is the one very one everyone forgets about the spare ;)

Buy some air horns and connect them up easier than replacing the old horns.

The fuel will start leaking out once you start undoing the filter as in step 4 page 5 of the download. So you need to place the container in a handy place. If you are careful and keep the filter upright you should only have a small amount come out. The container is mainly for holding the...

I have seen washing soda used to clean footpaths of moss and mildew so I guess removing rust would be the same :)

One suggestion would be to take the belts off one by one and start the motor up and see if the noise stops when any particular belt is off. Might be a bearing in the alternator, air con compressor, power steering.bottom pulley. If all the belts are off the bottom pulley should be turning and...

With the radiator cap not working you would have the expansion chamber full and the radiator empty. Basically as the water heats up it expands into the tank as it cools sucks back into radiator. What I would suggest is a head gasket test if all the tanks are empty and you think you can smell...

Could be O rings pending on the age of the vehicle, I had to replace mine due to the low sulphur content in the diesel as the pump was the older type not designed to take the difference in the fuels we have now.

Check to see if it the fuel pump seal are not leaking

It's a bit like the old saying: "Glass is only for honest people" ;)

A simple solution to the trailer sockets is to have 2 female connections. One on the vehicle and one on the trailer. When not in use the flap closes over the connections and hey presto no water or crap can get into them when left parked up outside. I use a length of wiring loom with the male...

I might order some, bit worried I might stop at every lamppost or start sniffing things :)

Ah give me some heat please, the temperature has come up, but a bit more would be nice. Been a traditional old fashion winter so far something that we have not had for a long time. Snow in late May. I have the feeling that I'll be bringing next years firewood in about August,:eek: last year had...

I'll be putting wheelie bars on that first, then get on and let it rip
