Hardly anything to go on; but fuel or exhaust blockage come to mind. MORE DETAILS please! Will it even rev-up stationary?

Hi
Can anybody tell me if the front suspension on the diesel model is the same as the 330i petrol model? Haynes do not do a manual for the diesel models yet.

Also in the Honest John 'what's bad' it says you have to replace the wishbone as well as the rear bushes when worn? Can anybody confirm or otherwise enlighten me?
Thanks Read more

On the front page they have an article on front control arms, there is also a DIY guide and within the forum itself, lots of info from members who have personal experience changing bits themselves. free to join and they have a good search facility.

Its a US site so diesel info is pretty much non-exisitent, but the suspensions will be the same, just don't get caught up with "driver's side" etc as of course it will be different to Uk cars

I have an October 2001 Micra that has done less that 6k miles. Well maintained, such as is needed for such low milage -- oil changed, antifreeze changed at 3 years, brake fluid at 2 years. Have to look very hard to see any blemish. What is a realistic price to ask for it in a weekly rag? -- No side tracking please as to the sense of the low use. Read more

Thanks oldman. Gatwick area here. Just taken the picture. Was going to give it a whirl in the Friday Add, to see what ticks.

Hi,
I wish to remove the radio cassette from this vehicle and fit a standard DIN E CD player. There are replacement facia plates available to suit the DIN fitting but how do I remove the existing unit? There are 2 small holes which I presume are the locking points. Any ideas on tool design etc?

Further to my previous post asking about mpg on legacy/foresters, mpg seems pretty poor..

has anyone any experience of fitting LPG to one of these vehicles ?

Did a little research on the net and one or two people mention valve seat recession problems.

Someone else saying there is some gadget that can be fittted to the LPG system to feed in a valve lubricant additive - anyone know anything about this ??



Can anyone tell me if the spare wheeel well in these cars is in the boot floor (like most cars) so will take a wheel-well LPG tank or is it sat vertical in the side of the boot - apparently this is no good for the doughnut shaped tanks (not sure why ? is it mounting problems or because the take off point for the LPG is on the bottom of the tank which would then be up in the air if placed sideways ??)

Any knoweldge on this would be useful, as quite like thse look of these cars and would do exactly what I want, but the mpg is rather offputting.

Maybe I go to the wrong filling stations, or maybe I'm just plain unobservant, but I've yet to see one that sells LPG.

Here you go:-

www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?v=e&t=71...1

NOTE:- whatver you do, DON'T turn on the ignition with the dash clocks removed, otherwise you will have to pay a dealer to have your airbag light reset. I though I had better mention this as I didn't in my original posting.

And this is the bulb you're need:-

www.consumabulbs.com/files/bdet.php?id=63

Available from 99.9% of motor accessory shops.

Sometimes you can buy the bulb and holder complete, which can be the best way to do it as the bulb wires are often spotwelded to the holder connectors.

Right I've had enough...two months ago I bought a 2000/W mondeo 2.0 zetec 5dr hatch from a local reputable dealer and in the 800 miles I've driven it it's given me nothing but trouble.

The latest saga that I've just noticed is a very very wet and soggy boot carpet and rear seat cushion. Does anyone have any clues as to what this could be so that when I take it back to them on tuesday I can give them a few ideas.

Regarding my legal rights here do I have the right to a refund or some other compensation from the offending dealer. Like I say I've had the car two months (it's under their warranty for six months)and its been back to them at least 5 times!! This just does not seem good enough.

What's the best course of action if you've been sold a lemon??

Many thanks in advance.
