Cheers for the replies so far! Just want a sort of guide as to what its worth as is, cos I got my eye on a lwb but would need to sell mine to be able to purchase. :)

Hi Guys and Girls, Thinking of selling the Mav to raise funds for a 5 door. M regd SWB Blue, virtually immaculate exterior apart from small rust patch rear sill nearside. Interior is great aswell with only sign of wear really is rip on edge of drivers seat. It has been well serviced since we...

Ah right well recently put new coil pack on it as was slight misfire, but didnt cure it so mechanic changed plugs whilst doing the mot!! will have to see what the correct ones are and check..

Just put a cd stereo in my daughters n regd Micra, works great well that is til you turn engine on then terrible crackling through speaker, works fine with engine off, but only does this with radio on, with cd on its fine!! Really puzzled but also only one of the door speakers is working, will...

Yeah everything went back together fine! I had to do it twice too as too much play in bearing first time. 4wd working fine so no problem there. Didnt get too much chance to investigate yesterday due to weather and work, but did get it jacked up and although im no expert by any means everything...

No play in bearing, after I did hub I had to turn bearing ring another smidge as there was some play there, But after doing that was fine, packed it with plenty of grease as well. Drives fine no noises or handling issues but something must be amiss as I couldn't believe the wear when I was...

Hi guys , since stripping the hub on my mav to put new wheel studs in, the wear on the drivers front tyre on inside is shocking. was brand new tyre but now close to bars. Steering wheel is slightly off centre, but no wear on other side. Any ideas welcome thought tracking initially but wouldn't...

Ive just done all corners of mine with new shoes , cylinders and pads. But when i bled them I only bled the four corners. Brakes feel ok and stop ok but will not having bled this extra bit affect performance of brakes? Non ABS Mk1 Mav if that helps. Cheers Rich

Hi Bob thanks for the speedy reply! this auto park switch is it on the wiper motor behind plastic cowling or the washer motor on bottle? Cheers Rich

Why oh why do I open my mouth and say "all problems sorted!!" Windscreen wipers wont turn off!! any ideas? went to 4x4 scrappy and got another wiper stalk and it does the same so not the stalk, it never did this before but it had been sitting for 4 weeks whilst I plucked up the courage to strip...

Handbrake and shoes adjusted, used it all day today and everything seems fine again..thank god!! I hate my mrs using my van so Mav now back on road she dont have too. MOT in 2 weeks so fingers crossed. Thanks for everyones input Rich..

Ok so replaced the cylinders today and bled brakes diagonally front pass, rear driver, and vice versa system was full of air, so all good there now. Last problem for a while though is the handbrake as mot is due handbrake is very sloppy as in hardly works always have to leave in gear, I know the...

Hi Rick, I found the diagram and refitted and also did the brake pads!! Only thing is now the rear wheel cylinder passenger side is leaking, must have been weak and when pistons on front pushed back popped!! How hard a job is this to change?? And also cost!! One thing after another at minute. I...

Finally plucked up the courage to take hub and disc off to do studs!! was going great until i removed the hub cap and there is a spring not mentioned in any of the downloads and it popped out with some sort of collar so I couldnt see where it had come from or how it refits!! The rest was fairly...

Hi Rustic, Am in Coventry. The walkthrough is great but when I see bearings and locking rings etc it makes me a bit panicky!! what if its put back together incorrectly etc..lol Cheers Rich..

Thanks for the replies , seen the walkthrough of hub removal and to be honest it scares me with the bearings clips and rings etc, ok at doing brakes and bits and pieces but im thinking this is a bit too complicated for me to try? am releived that new studs can be purchased though. Thanks Again...

Two of the wheel studs on front drivers side hub have sheared!! Mrs has been using mav and reported noise yesterday when steering so I checked today and was amazed that 1. the wheel hadnt gone missing and 2. Thank god I checked before she used it to take my daughter to college today!!! All of...

Ah..the result was 1st Denmark, 2nd Sweden, 3rd Germany and last Team GB.. Pushed Germans all the way but they just had too much in their top 2 riders!! Bearing in mind that 4 out of 5 GB Riders were making their Debuts in any sort of competition abroad it was a good effort, but they also had a...

Well did the trip!! 2700 miles round, tunnel from Folkestone then long, long drive from Calais!! Fuel prices almost the same as UK everywhere, even in Sweden where everything else is deffinately more expensive!! Around £6.90 for a bottled beer!! But the scenery and hotel etc were brilliant...

No not taking Mav, going in the Transit as Got to take bikes and all equipment etc!! Still trying to work out best way, seems like there's a few different routes all varying massively in price!! Think driving all way is still the best option, ferries to denmark from germany very expensive, ferry...
