I'm looking to buy a M14 copper washer, as confirmed on here, but I get offered a choice of 18mm or 20mm outer diameter sizes... Sadly BW don't confirm which size theirs is, so I can't just crib the answer from their site. I'd order their 48p one in a flash if it wasn't for the postage... Which one ...

Would you mind having the second one included in the wiki ?

Sure, it's no problem at all, glad to contribute!

i would suggest a a screwdriver slit cut with an angle grinder but there again maybe not :rofl you should get a set of grips on that easy enough and the flat thing IS a washer :wink: why you taking it all to bits? oh and remember the steering wheel fits on the o/s mm Cheers MM, yeah a screwdriver s...

Hey California Dreamin' - thanks Man :ok So... not one of my greatest victories yet then. Just in case there are other fools-with-tools as daft as me :oops: This is wrong, oh so very wrong. http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b558/T25midge/wrong_end_zps9ad43432.jpg This is the enemy, take it out. ht...

I have maybe been attacking the wrong end of the bolt? Haven't got a clue to be honest - will put photo's on tomorrow. If the usual vice grip procedure is nowhere near the brake fluid reservoir then I have been attempting to wind the shear bolt in the wrong direction, perhaps. Thing is, I figured a ...

Well I've done a little bit of googling and it seems a left-hand dill bit used in a reversible drill is the proper way to drill out a sheared bolt. Can't remember seeing one of them down B & Q but if I need a new drill bit anyway I might as well give it a shot...

Just to be 100% sure - these things are supposed to come out from the top of the dash, not from below it..? My bolts are rusty, and there's not much to hit with a chisel - particularly now I've had a set of grips on them. The grips were well locked on, but not a hint of bolt movement so I can't imag...

How Do! I'm struggling again... So I've had a good crack at the tiny bit of threaded stub that's sticking up above the square 'thick washer' that I think(?) is welded to the mounting arms. Tool of choice was a good pair of blue point vice grips and I tried a bit of WD40 and got a good lock and wiggl...

It's a good idea to replace the fans resistor when replacing the motor.brickwerks sell them.my blower was blowing fuses on no 3.The resistor was burned out. Cheers Rob, I might be able to test this today if I get stuck in. From memory I thought only settings 1 & 2 used resistance, with setting ...

If I can add to that. Hope that helps for any future googlers of this issue. Andy, thank you my friend,for walking me through the myriad steps I am about to take on m next epic journey. I now know what to expect! As it stands my heater blows a 20a fuse as soon as the fan switch hits 3, so odds-on I...

Well we've made some progress today, towards getting this show on the road... Have swapped out the water temp sender and got my needle (and my mojo) back on track. Bit of a poor result on the thermostat (see http://forum.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=130925" onclick="window.open(...

I think that is for the front fog lights and is empty if they aren't fitted, just a guess though. DOPW possibly the 12 pin dash connector block where it attaches to the curcuit board is corroded/broken. On close inspection the mystery wire is approaching the fusebox from a 3 wire mini-loom, having ...

Theres your answer. Sets range from £15 to £25 or more but they save HOURS of work. http://forum.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=130931" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Cheers CovKid, this might be needed for the allen bolts holding the thermostat housing to the engi...

If you are changing it just for the gauge fault I would check the wiring to the sender it's the hardest of the two to reach, the terminals inside the plug are bad for corrosion. And you're needle prob would eventually come up a bit. Check the wiring first. And if the housing has to come off I norma...

Hi Folks, I have a '89 1.9 DG with a plastic thermostat top held in by 4 bolts. I say bolts, but I can't see a straight edge anywhere on any of the bolt heads - they just look like rusty dome heads with no way to turn them. Dunno what's for the best - hacksaw a slot and try to get a screwdriver in, ...
