Re: 1.9 DG Engine cuts out when warm
Is she on choke for the 5 mins of running? so as that comes off she falters and stops? does she start again for another 5 or is that it for the day?

Re: KPH speedo failed MOT
Had a word with my pet MOT tester this morning and he said it used to be an issue, but it's not on the system anymore or at least it doesn't come up on the system when searched for.
Any MOT testers on here can confirm?

Re: Viking Roof Latch - need longer thread

How about a length of studding from B&Q ,bit of heat and bend the end over yourself. Just remove the existing and find the right thread and away you go.

Re: Heater Cable Control Adjustment
I believe, from the one that I replaced, that they are a fixed length with "hooks" at each end. Can't see how you adjust them..Happy to be wrong tho.
