I’ve bought an electric hydraulic power steering pump from a Zafira/Astra on eBay. Just haven’t gotten round to measuring up what connectors I need for the hoses yet. Need to locate my callipers.

Hydraulic Power Steering pressure

The Bentley manual says the power steering pump should be putting out 115-120 bar pressure. Would the rack operate correctly at only 110 bar? I’m retrofitting hydraulic PAS and want to use an electrohydraulic steering pump situated right next to the rack instead of a mechanical pump on the engine. H...

Asda is actually a different model. Other internet suppliers the fitters just get the fitting fee.
Asda tyres, the garage gets the internet generated sale.
The asda tyres website is run by the tyre wholesaler who the garage have to get the tyres from. (Often the garages usual wholesalers anyway)

Re: Flywheel timing mark confusion

Thanks Aidan. That seems to make sense and you've reassured me with the info about the flywheel and clutch cover only fitting one way. It would appear that the cam and pump (which are in time with each other) are about 3 or 4 notches on the belt away from the flywheel timing. It always did sound lik...

Flywheel timing mark confusion

1.9 diesel normally aspirated engine using the original flywheel and clutch from the 1.6D cs that I took out. I can't see any marks on the actual flywheel but it does have a raised metal edge bolted on? Not sure if that's part of the clutch housing or not. Anyway, this does have timing marks on, but...

Re: How do I rewind a speedo...

Screwdriver bit in a cordless drill in the hole in the back for the cable
