Of course, Brickwerks are really the only decent source and they pretty much have everything! I've bodged it for now with a short piece of new pipe plugged with a nail!

Looks like I've just lost a plug! Brilliant, thanks guys, that's a super easy fix. I'll pop to local suppliers today.

Hi helpful people, I've just returned from a long trip and when I got home the engine was smoking from diesel that appears to have come from the return line off the last injector (forward). The injector has just 20mm or so of pipe from the retrun to the open air! I don't think this is right, but it'...

Perfect, thanks.

I have just got the truck back from the MOT with the following advisory:

"Play in steering rack inner joint(s) Offside."

Can someone point me in the direction of where this is and spare part on brickwerks?

Rust. What's that?

OK, cheers. I'll just get the codes and replace each. I've no idea why there are two, generally my policy is 'if it's not broke, don't fix it"!

Hi all, I thought I'd change the diesel fuel filters, just as I have no idea how old they are! I've looked at brickwerks and can't find them listed. Can anybody make any recommendations on where I can get some? I’m in need of two, as I presume is standard on the 1.6JX. Should they be identical? http...

Paint the wheels.

You can cross reference part numbers for different years quite easily using it.

Type 25?

I just thought I'd follow this up as had the same problem. Turned out to be the switch was dirty. Removed the switch and carefully opened it up, the connections were very greasy, so cleaned them and now everything is good.

I'll probably go for these, seems much more stable to be supported both sides.

Any recommendations for a suitable spring compressor for changing the springs on my syncro? Or should a generic one do?

Actually you pointed me in the right direction, thanks:



Shows the position of end.

Changed the oil the other day and the dipstick plug bit came off / apart!

The problem is I'm not sure at what position along the stick the end cap goes on, so if anyone has any pictures of theirs it would help me greatly. Otherwise I'm reading the oil level at the wrong position.
