They look good, I have a 3 pin adapter which plugs into the cigar lighter and allows the kids to plug in laptops etc which is useful for long trips.

:-) Happy days, garage just called and said its passed :-)

Well its that time again for the MOT test to be performed, dont think there is much wrong with it although the airbag light did come on this morning so had to do a few resets to get it off but it appears OK now. Just hoping it does not need to much doing so I can run it for another year. now...

I have just looped mine to try to find the leak, did about 20 miles and not a problem with temperature. Found out that its not my matrix leaking anymore, its something in the engine, the rad looks a bit damp so will try to see if I can confirm that now.

I am having much the same problems Chimp, I took all the dash out the other weekend and but still cannot find my leak. So this weekend I am going to blank off the pipes to the heater matrix, I bought a silcon U pipe to do this, there are plenty on ebay, I got 19mm size which is right for my...

Welcome to the site Ben, Others on here will be able to give you all the technical differences between the models, but when it comes to buying spare parts, tyres, finding information out, its much easier to do that for the 2.7 than the 3.0 I bought a 3.0 sport 12 months ago for much the same...

its all back together now and so far so good. the garage took 3 weeks to do what i did in 1 day and they did not stop the leak. So hoping its cured now.

coolant leak Well spent the weekend striping out the dash to try and find my coolant leak, no obvious signs of leaking from any of the connections, did a pressure test with the hose on the matrix system and still no leaks. Anyway made sure all hose connections were tight and put all the dash...

The very best of luck to you, from my experience in kickboxing the majority of people only enter contests when they know they are going to do well, normally by saying they are not as good as they really are. Think fitness is going to be the key, if you can keep your stamina up then it will...

Does sound like it is probably a loose clip, most likely did not get put back on properly last time it was in the garage. will buy some PTFE tape and some more clips to see what I can get sorted to seal it all back up.

Thanks for the picture, looks like it will be difficult to try and determine wher the leak is will all those connections. may have to try some sort of pressure test one I have it all stripped out

the carpet is damp but its not leaking that much to really see where is coming from, so thats why i have decided to do a full strip down to get it sorted.

I have not found any pictures but im sure once I get all the dash out then it will be quite clear where it is. I am preparing myself for a big job to get everything out and hoping I dont break too many of those plastic clips when taking it all apart, Terrano96 has a video on YouTube which makes...

The water is not leaking from the engine bay as its all dry underneath, so can only be leaking internally. The loss is from the rad, the header tank does not appear to be dropping but the rad looses about a cup of coolant every 100 miles, but only when heater control is on hot. The garage have...

Got a problem with loosing coolant and need some help. Last March I notice I lost a lot of collant and discovered it was a heater matrix failure, got this replaced at the local garage and everything was fine. last month noticed that the coolant level was dropping again, garage said it was a...

I work for a company which makes Diesel engines and I source the fuel systems amongst other components and the manufactures of fuel systems (Bosch, denso, Delphi etc) do not warrant any thing above 5% Bio, so when you fill up at the pump you need to check as I think Morrisons is higher than...

What are the rules for green lanes in Scotland? are they on OS maps as byways like the England? I am planning some wild camping in the summer up there, but would be good if I can get the truck off the main routes also.

Thanks for offer but I had a look after work today, got very worried when it took 4 litres to top up the rad, but then discovered wet carpet so pretty sure it's the heater matrix, need to go to the garage on Monday and have a word as it was only changed in April. Discs have not arrived yet, will...

Thanks guys I will give it a good bleeding over the weekend and hope that solves the problem. If it the head gasket then it will be going as I cannot plough anymore money into it, which would be a shame as I have had some great fun in it.

What i dont understand is why it cycles between hot and normal and why the heater blows cold when the engine is hot. If it was a theromstat of gasket problem surely it would just stay hot ?
