So I changed the fan today For anybody who comes across this looking to see how the tank is removed... At the rear of the black fuses/relay box, in front of the expansion tank, there are 2 clips Press in on the middle of the clips and slide the fuse/relay box up from the bracket Now hold the...

No worries (y)

That's weird alright Just looked on Autodoc using the OEM code and the majority of them appear to be around 53-54mm diameter, and by the way, the Gates one is under a tenner on there Normally, a thermostat should only cost around a tenner. Don't think I've ever paid more for one in my life and...

I've not changed the one on my Micra, but did my Audi A4 last year and from memory I used Quinton Hazell I can't say I have ever had issues with thermostats in the past, and generally just order whatever is cheapest, or take whatever my local motor factors have in stock. Regarding your question...

Any of them will work as long as it falls between the figures in the image (86.5-89.5)

So I got the car back with the replacement gear linkage and it feels MUCH better now Its in for its NCT (Irish equivalent of MOT) this week, so just checking everything The window had totally jammed again by the time I got it back from the garage doing the gear linkage I removed the door panel...

Digging up a REALLY old thread here! Apologies, but its the only one I could find on replacing the radiator fan In the same situation here. Motor is turning, but the fan isn't, so I've located one in a breakers yard and want to swap them I'm just wondering about the coolant reservoir. How does...

So I picked up the replacement shifter mechanism and it's the metal base type with clips Although I am tempted to open it and risk breaking clips etc, just to see inside, I am going to go on the basis that it was previously working well on the car it was removed from and that car was just...

Sorry guys. Only seeing all these replies now, so it turns out the guy I dropped the car to, removed the gear shift assembly and the ball was indeed broken inside. I am picking up an old one shortly from a scrapped car, but the gear shift seems to be working well with it and will get it swapped...

I had sprayed a bit of lubricant on the connections there alright and it helped slightly Think I'll definitely change the gearbox fluid too just to help things out

I got it dropped to a local garage today as I have no access to ramps, or even jack stands I loaned my jack stands to somebody a couple of years ago and could never remember who, but never got them back The guy is going to try sort it in the next couple of days if he gets a free 30 minutes and...

Well that's true. It's all a learning experience. (y)

Doh! :eek: I don't believe it. That will teach me to mess around with stuff without checking first. Makes sense though, as the whole thing seems to have moved totally since I undid the 4 screws. I was sure those 4 screws would allow me remove a top and check the gear stick for worn bushes etc...
