Club 80-90 Forums

Ive got one. I dont think they made that many. On the front below Arragon it says Coda. I assume thats a sub model name. I had to strip mine when I got it and refurb the interior. Not sure what parts are available but the door catches can be got here [http://www.mccreimo.co.uk/id78.html] Always some...

Dont know if its any help but I recently replaced the long metal pipe from the water pump to the thermostat housing and I got it from GSF. I did notice that JK had them in stock too but with the club discount it was cheaper at GSF.

Wherabouts in Hampshire are you?

We bought a futon mattress from Ikea. Cut it down one side and then restiched it to make it fit the 3/4 bed. Because its made for a futon it sort of hinges with three panels so it folds up and fits perfectly on the shelf above the engine bay. When pulled out it sits on top of the seat cushions so we...

You should have a box somewhere that resembles a mini version of your home fuse box. There will be circuit breakers fitted, and each breaker will have a flick switch. switch them off before plugging in and then switch on individually. There may also be a polarity warning light. If this illuminates g...

Any luck locating the leak yet?

I was looking at your pics again and it looks like the top of the joint between the exhaust and the head is damp. If it is, bear in mind water/coolant will not flow uphill (unless its under pressure). Sorry if Im stating the obvious but it does look damp up there.

Hi John Just a quick note before anyone picks up on it and pionts out my mistake :roll: Out of habit I refer to the fixings that secure the cylinder heads as bolts. A bad habit that I need to get out of. The fixings on this engine are actually studs and the heads are secured by nuts that have the ma...

The WBX does not have a traditional head gasket. The seal that people often think is the head gasket is in fact a water jacket seal but in your pics the leak does not look as if its coming from that area. The bolts that hold the heads on to the block run through the water jacket and need to be seale...

I had the same problem recently. As futurecut says, prob corroded switch contacts. I cured mine by pulling off the top of the tap to expose the contacts and giving them a quick squirt of WD40.

Thanks mate. Thought it was but just needed the reassurance

Its difficult to tell from your pics but it looks like the head bolt seal may be leaking. Try to clean around the area as much as poss and it may become clearer. Have a look in the wiki. Theres a few articles about water leaks and a product that may help. Good luck with it. Hope you dont miss out on...

I have a 1990 1.9dg 5 speed box and came across a problem today with the gearbox oil. I was intending to change the oil anyway so i purchased 4 litres of oil as Haynes says 3.5l in the 5 spd. When i removed the filler plug oil poured out and I reckon it lost about 1/4l before i got it back in. I rem...

No problem mate. PM me your details and I will post it to you.

Hi creamcracker. What you have there is a Riviera de luxe heater. The bottom plate is solid. No ventilation holes required although they dont take long to appear due to tin worm :wink: I would strongly reccomend you have your heater professionally checked before you fire it up as the box position le...
