Petrol? Coolant level okay? If the engine coolant temp sensor has failed the ecu will put the fan on full speed as a precaution, you can plug a new one in to confirm before doing the actual change. The sensor on the revised version of the thermostat (pic below) is easily changed, with a little...

You’ll probably end up with a complete unit, I think the buttons all go to one pcb as it’s one plug into the the back of it. The glass tipping mechanism can be got from Ali, not sure on quality but I did buy a passenger side window switch and have no issues. The glass mount motor mech comes in...

id say that when he did it the air was blue trying to wiggle and rotate the stump for the pipe that goes to the radiator bottom.

Very well detailed.

You’re right I am all petrol, diesels got too much wrapped all over the engines to get at anything 🤭. Diesel thermos unfortunately suffer the same issues. One of the pressure test kits can be you biggest friend when looking for a leak, flexi cam too. If it’s the expansion cap lid letting by, and...

There’s a few things I keep reading about engine upgrades, but then don’t. It’s the notifying the insurance, reports etc that put me off, yeah I know induction kits fitted, remaps etc all get done all the time without being insured properly. I’ve done a few tweaks to what is existing to get some...

What size have you gone? Or are they per factory size.

Bonnet latch end is the same on mk1 Rcz and 308. Just as a suggestion, if the rest of your gubbins (handle/cable etc) is okay and it is just the plastic insert, you could try a barrel nut. Youll also need an m6 plain washer and a small o ring or two, when the bolt tightens in on the cable it...

Hi David, sorry haven’t got looking in for a few days. Just make sure and have a good look at the stub the pipe goes on, through heat cycles and cavitation the end of the pipe crumbles away (be sure to recover as much as you can, if it has). Not quite the same thermostat housing but similar...

From you pic and info I’d be on the thermostat housing. You can spend a few £ and buy a pressure test kit to confirm. Would recommend really good flushing of the system too to get all the muck out. The end where the hose goes on, on the smaller ones suffer from degradation and the hose starts to...

You have not much left in the engine bay, I’d near be tempted to change the oil filter/cooler gaskets and turbo feed pipes while I had that level of access. This can show as an oil stain behind turbo/cat, but can also allow coolant and oil to mix. Also really good access to the thermostat...

Or if the paint isn’t broken a good pdr might be able to sort you. I have had a few miracles worked on my pearl white, simply because I know paint matching would be near impossible as well as setting the flop of the metallic right.

Dave, guessing spellcheck has altered your message. If it’s PAS (power assisted steering) that is referred to in the message, the reservoir for it is in the engine bay just below the passenger side headlight. If you can access it and follow down to see if you can check the plug and wire...

There are diaphragms listed on eBay that may fit with a bit of adapting but the actual fitting could be a real pain to get at it. There also could be a build up of crud within the area. You might be better off with a replacement cover. While your hoking about, if you have had to deal with pcv...

Did you manage to get sorted? I can’t offer any advise, just hoping you got there somehow so you can get onto the fun part of driving you new toy.

This. PCV diaphragm split/torn or goo/carboned up, two diaphragms in rocker cover. Throttle body spindle can call a movement but the flap doesn’t actually do it properly. Visual inspect by taking off the air in pipe from above 8mm jubilee clip on each end. From under, one 10mm to a support...

Well if it helps, there it is. long winded for three bolts and five pipes, just so much to get out of the way for access.

Okay, here goes. I am going to assume you are doing just the thermostat housing. The horror in this job isn’t the changing of the thermostat as it’s only three bolts and five pipes, but making space to get at it is key in accessing it that’s we’re all the time goes. I know of people who will say...

I see you in the Kettering area, if you can’t find anyone you could try Dave Dallimore, Northhants Cars, he is an ex Peugeot guy now running a small used car place with his mate. I have dealt with him, as well as bought sight unseen in good faith and he’s always came through. The wee convertible...

I can’t help you with identifying the leak, but mind the rad fins with that light. Guessing you figured out uploading. Just below the box you type a response/query into there is a box saying Attach files, click on it and options come up Photo library (stored on you phone or pad) Take photo...
