Anyone know what colour of grey it is on the sills? Thanks.

I think my mistral is the same as yours Briggie, even black over gold too. The AA bloke said in time the heat makes the plastic pipe go brittle and then they just shatter. Aahhh well another job to do - not many to go (I hope)

Yes Rick - that sounds like a good way to fix it and I will give that a try. I was gonna give that a go but some thieving swine has nicked my brand new stash of araldite (it's not me - I havn't even seen it) is the reply off all. Of course it would go when just the wife is in the truck....she...

That don't sound to positive Briggie - shite Hey Rick, how could I solder copper tube to a plastic pipe?

Hey Guy's. Any idea where I can get a cheap radiator for a Mistral auto as the plastic pipe that the top hose goes onto has dissintergrated leaving 5mm of pipe! I do not believe they are made of plastic. Milners have intercooler only....none on scambay - blast.

Well guys - you and me we only cracked it :clap The brake ring in the offside hub had a problem. The two wings on it where bent up - just a smidge missed it the first time (first time inside a hub though) Anyway the slight bend was enough to stop it rotating freely and was binding. So out with...

I know I sound stupid, but I just can't see how they provide drive:nenau

There is supposed to be one of these on each drive shaft with the tabs pointing in towards the engine - yes?

Come to think of it I think I only checked the nearside. I had such a load of trouble with no circlip pliers....the drive shaft was pushing through so when I got to the offside I thought bollo**s to that.

Tabs.....what sort of tabs? The brake ring on the shaft has tabs that go into slots on the drive shaft and the brake ring in the hubs have bigger tags that push on and twist quarter turn to hold it loosly in the hubs with the curly spring pushing behind it. But it does not haqve tabs that lock...

Thanks for that Rick. I cleaned all the general grease out yesterday then put in copper grease....quite a bit though yes, as much as I could get in the little sucker, so guess I will wipe some off :)

Well I had the back wheels jacked up, took off the front hubs and put in 4H and D and the back wheels and front drive shafts are all spinning:lol I presume it is the auto hubs then....it looks ok to me, from the pics I have seen all bits seem to be there and greased yesterday (though they was...

Yep I did try the reverse on full lock and nowt - same as in 2H

Thanks for that Rick. I will try that tomorrow. I take it if it is the diff then that is very bad news :eek:

Well I cleaned the auto hubs .... all bits seem to be there. 4 wheel drive still not working :( When gearbox in park and drive lever in 4H the forward prop shaft can not be turned as I would expect (but I am brand new to 4x4 this is my first) when I turn the front drive shafts they both "go a...

Oh blast....thanks for the reply's good people. Looks like the hubs need stripping and cleaning then. Poo.

Hi guys. Am I correct in thinking that 4 wheel drive is not available while reversing? as the auto hubs will dissengage?

Hi guys. I just got my first Mistral and was shocked by the insurance. I am 48 with 19 years no claims bonus. My old cover for a saab 900 2.0 was £195 fully comp. My new cover for the Mistral is £640 !!! It seems if I had a Terrano II it would be £303 for the same year (94) work it out???
