You mean I won't be able to go into WarpDrive :eek:

I've been searching for an annoying rattle for the better part of a year now and finally traced the cause :thumbs Behind the airbag module in the steering wheel hub I found this:- It should be suspended on 4 rubber arms, 2 of which remain, the other 2 had perished and broken, hence the...

Been having a think and I have decided that I am going anyway so this is really an invitation to join me. All the above info still applies. This is the sort of place we will be staying at although the pictures do make it look a little grander than it is. http://www.riadnomad.com...

If it's the same as mine when the starter went, no amount of boosting will help.:doh Watch you knacker the boost donor battery as well:eek: Peter

Yes, at today's prices about 3k would more than cover it. Through Spain, 1 night, it would be cheap and cheerful small hotel. Fuel is currently about £1.12. Fuel is cheap in Morocco, about 63p Lt. Double room with dinner and breakfast for 2 is about £37 a night. That covers basics, and makes no...

PS to my message above. Price would be for 2 in a vehicle. Peter

Just got back from Morocco following a group of enduro bikes round a route that takes in some Sahara and some Atlas mountains. Third time I've been and I'm now feeling confident enough to organise a trip myself. I'm looking for expressions of interest only at this stage for a trip next...

I use one of these straped down to the built in tie down points. Cheap robust and holds all tools, tow ropes, jack and all the bits I need. I've got mine just inside the rear door for easy access. I use hessian sand bags to keep stuff separate...

Try a Google for "hydrogen generator for cars scam" You pays your money you make your choice.:doh Last word from me on the subject.:clap Peter

Splitting water to get hydrogen and oxygen is easy enough, however you do it, the trouble is that you don't get something for nothing. Even at 100% efficiency energy in = energy out which this system certainly isn't. If you want hydrogen or oxygen then OK but the losses involved in splitting...

Snake oil :eek::eek: If it was that easy everyone would be doing it. A bit of research on the internet will reveal all. http://green.autoblog.com/2008/08/04/why-on-board-hydrogen-generators-wont-boost-your-mileage/ Save your money. Hope I haven't burst any bubbles. Peter

The steering idler is a bush not a bearing and yes they do wear but watch very carefully as somebody else moves the steering wheel. You may see that the play is in fact a twisting motion in the "steering relay centre rod", the link that goes across the car to the steering box. The way the...

You could well be right, the battery is less than 12 months old and has shown no hint of trouble up to this point but is of unknown quality. I've just discovered that the smart charger I have is not really delivering the voltage either so I am hoping that a bit a a run and a new charger will...

Now it gets odd and a little bit of a concern.:confused: Battery on charge overnight, engine now turns over freely but still no start. Immob light on dash goes out with the key in and ign on - correct. Mil light goes out when the engine in turning over - correct. But still no start. Check...

Kind of similar problem to the last post but there is no mil light or steady red light so perhaps not. 98’ T2 TDI Are there issues with the immobiliser following a flat battery? I inadvertently knocked the switch for one of the map reading lamps and didn’t notice until I went to start after 2...

My Terrano insurance is coming up for renewal soon, who are the best for 4x4 cover? I have heard , vaguely, about firms that specialize in 4x4 but a search on the web only seems to find sites which either don't work properly or which don't do on-line quotes and I can't be bothered with dozens of...

Sorry about that, should have given you a credit :clap

I went with the inverted flower pot design, mainly because it was cheaper and a bit less flash than the scoop type. I've not noticed any restriction or lose of performance. It has sort of vanes on the air intake side which should create a vortex which should remove at least some of the water...

Don't get too excited, that's only a maybe :D Peter

Maybe it's just me then :confused: but it seems to take about half a wheel rotation for the cam to disengage forward and engage reverse. Not usually a problem or perhaps even noticed but as I said before I just don't like "auto" things. At least I know for sure I've got drive at once in both...
