Thanks Steve I havent seen the unit so your probably right - silly me. The nearside arm seem to be lower and looser than the rest so Im thinking it is either the motor housing has loosened or something else has loosened. Regards Lee:thumb2

I have oiled and greased it as above and whilst the noise has minimised it is still there - challenging me to kick its a*"se. The nearside motor has dropped slightly in its housing and must be rubbing on something. Anyone know how to remove the cover just below the windscreen to access the...

Anyone had this happen to them?? My window wipers make such a squeal when they are turned on that I am demented when driving in the rain. i thought it needed new blades, which were fitted today with no effect. I have traced the problem to the nearside wiper arm motor. I think it has loosened on...

A motorhome gives a safer drive as there is no risk of snaking. Even if the MH is towinf a car, the weight ration is such that the chance of a snake is low. A MH is good if you like day trips out in it. Bro in law would not have a caravan near him since this is all he would want from a MH. If...

Its intermittent. Sometimes the beep occurs and sometimes not. I think it is most likely to do with the towbar as said above. regards Lee

Thanks for the reply. Do you think it is a short and I am hearing the beep from the audible relay?? Regards Lee

I just dont know what this is for.... when i have started the engine and driven a bit, I get a single audible beep when i turn on an indicator. It only happens once during any trip. what is this - anyone any ideas???? regards Lee

Hi All I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to vehicles (you.ve probably guessed this already:augie) Any of our members from Northern Ireland out there who can recommend a good mechanic who specialises in 4x4 or nissans? I have got the car sorted now but the mechanic was just alright -...

Hi All I have had a problem with soot from the exhaust dirtying the front of the caravan when towing. I found the quote below on another internet forum from a well respected person (who has now sadly passed away). I hope that it helps if any of you are having this problem. Also if you have...

Getting back on thread. I posted the original question on a different forum. The answer that came back was that winter deisel has an additive in it to prevent waxing. It is not a different fraction (that i thought it was) so removing it in summer is just a cost cutting exercise and burning...

I dont know the answer to this but as well as burn temp you need to get a figure for burn rate. A lower temp but may burn for longer for a given amount. Regards Lee

Forgot to insert the hyperlink first time round -but quickly sorted my mistake:doh Lee

Here is a link for everyone who is a beginner and aint got a clue about 4WD (like me:doh) http://4wheeldrive.about.com/lr/4wd_for_beginners/167234/1/ Regards Lee

I think it is because alot of auto boxes can overheat when under load so the manufacturers set their limit lower. I have never done this but you can fit auxiliary cooling units to reduce the heat and maybe increase your towing limit (but do this on your own head). Regards Lee

I was thinking that if it burns cleaner then i could put a small amount in the tank in summer to help clean burning and reduce exhaust smoke. Not sure if it would work but if i would be willing to try out the theory if it was not harmful for the car. It would not cost anything rather than paying...

I am no expert but i have been told that the deisel at the pump is automatically changed according to the season. This is to prevent it waxing, though i stand to be corrected. I think that it is not talked about because it is done automatically - most folk are not aware it is even done...

You will get the tyre you need at a good local independent tyre fitters. They should stock all tyres needed from car to tractor tyres. On the subject of tyre puncture repair, i have heard of mixed reviews. Some vanners swear by it and some hate it. They will probably get you home but i would...

Hi All deisel changes in this country depending on the season (so im told). If i were to add a small bit of winter deisel to the tank in the summer time, would this result in less smoke and acleaner burn???? Or would it wreck the engine??? Only a thought - dont knwo if it is feasible or not...

I got a screech on full or near full lock with my last car. It needed the power steering fluid changed (i think - that is what i was told not being technically minded). Whatever they did it sorted it out - no more screeching. Regards Lee

thanks mate - perfect:thumb2 Lee
