Got the Halfords 45cm one, looks a little on the long side, but I put a kink in it so isn't dangling on anything. Has done the trick anyway.

No, the other rivet broke - and I fixed that and remembered I hadn't said it worked!

I'll give Halfords a go then, thanks for the info.

Did it with pop riveter and little washers for the record, the snapped ones could just be bashed out.

I've got a 2.1 DJ, and the engine earth braid from left of engine to near the coil has rotted right through. Is there a recommended source for replacements, or failing that does anyone know how long it is supposed to be for a stock one? I would measure the old one, but it is in more than one piece, ...

As I say, it has only happened twice (for about 10 minutes each time), when the weather was hot, so settled down.

I've had this just twice in 5 years, never got to the bottom of it!

No question here, just a report of what happened this week, and how to fix it, which I thought people might find useful. I had (what was) a very slow oil leak from somewhere unidentified around the bottom of my DJ engine (so slow that oil didn't need topping up between changes). But on Sunday, drivi...

Thanks for the ideas, I'll give auto van a bell.

Hi all, I have an expiring Autohomes Kamper roof, which is mostly held together with gaffa tape, damp polystyrene and good luck. I would ideally like a new high top - but it seems the recommended Timbertechnicians have stopped doing them? Does anyone know other options at present for a brand new roo...

Cheers for the suggestions, I'll give it go!

Hi, one of the rivets holding my accelerator pedal in place seems to have snapped, so it is moving sideways a bit.

Should I drill out old one and replace with a screw or something? Any ideas?

Hi all, Haven't been on here for while (nothing's been going wrong!). But just thought I would say thanks for putting up all this stuff on the wiki and forums, it just sorted out my latest problem. A noise that sounded like rocks in a blender started coming from the engine (2.1 DJ), so I feared the ...

I think you press the pedal, then switch the engine on. The pedal should depress slightly as the servo goes into action. If not check the pipe for a vacuum at the servo end.

If this is the problem you should still be able to stop just as well by pressing hard though!

Sounds as if your LPG evaporator is not getting coolant pumped into it (which keeps it warm and stops this). Check your coolant pipes for kinks - does your cab heater get nice and warm running on petrol?
