just noticed on my 2014 HDi Gt that the wipers are starting to scratch glass - on investigation I noticed the central c. 3" of metal bracketry extend down half way thru depth of the rubber blade!!
Can this be normal, to allow metal in contact with glass, way before rubber worn out??!! - Work...
I read somewhere that Koni produce softer active smart dampers addressing this issue - any knowledge of these or similar? For heavier nose HDi (which they also address)
Then there are softer progressive rate springs
Would also try and fit soft walled 45s on existing 19s if inner arch liners...
I am the new custodian, having bought from a Belper dealer last month.
Appears to be well cared for as is in remarkably good condition - Interior, from boot to engine bay look like a 1 year old :) - Paint gorgeous with just a few age related marks.
Looking to fit higher profile tyres as better...
anyone done any 2026 compliant main lighting upgrades? - I have the Halogen set up, despite being a Gt model - never thought to check when buying .. They are hopeless unfortunately and I would upgrade instantly if safe and legal
Looks like MOT rules prohibit Any headlight tech upgrades...
What causes the power to apparently momentarily drop for half a second or so before engine actually Increases power when u apply a large throttle opening whilst cruising?
Its almost as if the mixture is too lean for a second, turbo lag can appear similar, however I dont believe it is that exactly
2014 Hdi - oil recommendations (thickest option preferred) and what do i use to top up power steering with - only shows 1mm of the total 5mm range (bottom of dipstick)
thks
Upgrading main driving lights - Can add on LED bars be let into the grill? - Cant upgrade existing halogen pods apparently
Seems upgrading my basic halogen pods (fitted to a Gt! - didnt see that one coming when buying) with either of the next later technologies is not allowed, so looking at...
cost of clutch replacement (who in the Midlands?) - cost of uprated clutch fit (stage 1 road use only) - with /without flywheel
Just bought my 80k Hdi
Pedal is heavy and has feeling of air in hydraulics for first inch, bites right at top of travel and judders lightly when taking up slack after...
I have finally bought my dreamy Moroccan Red Hdi 2014 new shape and love it :)
The ride is far better than I had feared with the crazy 19" + 35 profile tyres,...however a small pothole will unsettle it in a corner and an average pothole makes u swear out loud at the thieving Gov and Councils...
Just bought my Moroccan Red Hdi 2014 from a dealer in Belper - He says 'the Club' visited him to see (not buy) the car - can anyone enlighten me?
Any photos taken, why the specific interest - I appreciate it is a rather rare spec
Tis a modest Hdi, however I have been holding out for a new shape car and had to b metallic red + from a dealer - that combination resulted in only one being available across the UK...every month or so - couldnt travel too far either as relying on a lift!
In the end, I had had enough of close...
