Check that the butterfly hasn't seized. ... Take the heat shield off from over the butterfly, take the locking circlip off the butterfly end of the adjustable rod, and disconnect the rod from the butterfly assembly. Try moving the butterfly to OPEN and CLOSE positions. If there is any...

A little girl asks her mum, "Mum , can I take the dog for a walk around the block"? Her mum replies "No, because she's on heat". "What does that mean"? asked the child. "Go and ask your father. I think he's in the garage" replies mum. The little girl goes out to the garage and says "Dad, can I...

I had a similar experience about two years ago. I was looking for a replacement automatic gearbox for my Mistral, and a scrapyard in Birmingham had one. I initially ordered it, and payed over the phone with my credit card, but later cancelled the order. On my next statement I found that someone...

Two priests are off to the showers late one night. They undress and step into the showers before they realise there is no soap. Father John says he has soap in his room and goes to get it, not bothering to dress. He grabs two bars of soap, one in each hand, and heads back to the showers. He is...

I think the "Butterfly" you are talking about is on the turbo system .... by adjusting the threaded link between the butterfly and the vacuum unit you either increase or decrease turbo boost. On the Mistral, if you drive it with the A/T switch in economy or hold position, you do not have the...

Has anyone looked at a site near Llandovery, whose website is www.cambrianway.com . Might be of interest to members thinking of a holiday in Wales, as they do accommodation too.

Transmission fluid You have to use "DEXRON" ATF.

Filling ATF on Mistral When I had my 1995 Mistral, you topped up the Automatic Transmission Fluid down the tube holding the dipstick (rear of engine on driver's side) . Easiest way is to use a piece of plastic tube down the dipstick pipe with a small funnel in the end of the plastic tube.

Have you tried using a multimeter ? You could firstly check to see if there is "Juice" going to the "Live" side of the fuse .... if there is , the problem would probably be between the "Fused" side of the fuse ( if you get my drift) and the light. You could use the "circuit check" facility of...

Why did I have to get involved with this ?? .... Wales is not classed by the "Powers that be" as a Kingdom, but merely as a "Principality" and yet if you look at Welsh history, we had Welsh kings, and Wales only became the so called "Principality" when Edward I made his son the first prince of...

I hasten to add, that Wales isn't even represented on the flag of the union, the Union Jack.

Don't think those high ones would be legal over here ... Seem to remember seeing restrictions as to height/width from side of bodywork. No doubt someone has more info on this.

Welcome to the "Funny Farm" mate , great crowd on here, and the banter will keep you amused for ages.

Flower, you would pass any test set for you !!!! xxxx

But Extreme IS NOT WELSH ...... He's an asylum seeker from ENGLAND !!!!

With all due respect, I think one bone of contention is that "Stone-wall" long time members had to pay their tenners before getting any help with truck problems, whereas people can now come on site and get help and information for free. Maybe such help should be "diluted", but as a member of...
