Grinding when cornering

Hi All We have a grinding noise when we turn right or go round roundabouts from the rear wheel. We have recently had our wheel bearings and back plates replaced and were told by the garage it would eventually stop as it was rust rubbing on the new back plates. We have probably done about 300 miles s...

Re: Heater stuck on

I must admit that I haven't a clue all I did was pull off the centre console then stuck my hand up the back of the heater and kinda fiddled then it worked, must have been a snagged cable or something.

Re: Heater stuck on

I would like to add that I have successfully cured the heater problem, at first I was using tools but found bare hands and brute force was best. I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to put it back to how it was but didn't have a problem. We now have cold or warm feet whenever we want. Plus...

Re: Heater stuck on

Thanks for that I'll give that a go either that or wear thinner socks, my husband keeps saying that if it's going to cost money then I have to suffer. There are people suffering around the world so a couple of hot feet is nothing lol

Re: RE SPRAY

Does it have the 1.9 GW engine?

It certainly does and the interior is exactly like the pictures. I have even got the original curtains but I haven't got the flooring though :D

Re: RE SPRAY

I really hate that grill but we have decided to keep the original colour. What is the relevance of the Jubilee Joker??
It only has stickers on one side and they have seen better days. So that makes its look a bit odd
