    Weedy K11 heater fan?

    Is it just me? My older T reg K11 with air con would not clear the windows as quickly as I expected and sometimes not at all. Using the air con cleared them, of course. I got used to it. Now my newer Y reg without air con has exactly the same problem, except that I can't use the AC to sort it...

    4wd ideas?

    I have a spare K11 (T reg, about 1999 I think) which might make a good project car. I quite fancy 4wd due to all the hills and snow here, as fitting chains is a PITA. Of course it all depends on making time... Does anyone have parts bin suggestions? I want either full time symmetrical (3...

    Can't find cooling fan switch!

    Haynes BOL still hasn't arrived and the cooling fan didn't run last night :-( Can't find a switch--is it triggered from the ECU? No fuses blown in either place, so I will have to investigate the relays. For now I have set an alarn in OBD2 program to remind me to turn the heater up full!

    Swapping bits between 1999 and 2001 cars?

    I have a 1999 1.3i with rust problems and a 2001 1.0 'S'. Has anyone found any major differences to stop me ftom using the 1.3i for spares, please? I bought it in a hurry for a new job, so it would be good to be warned of any problems before I get started. Thankx in advance. Ruz

    Fuel consumption problem?

    I have a T reg K11 1.3i which seldom gets more than 38MPG. Sometimes only 35. Is this unusual? can anyone comment or suggest, please? Here's the full story, if anyone is interested:- I do a 10 mile run to work and back, on fairly empty A/B roads for 9 miles of the 10. There are a couple...
