I used a 2 pair of mole grips

this may sound stupid but have you checked the tension on the aux belt ?

twisting the gear shaft at the half way joint is dead easy it only needs a tiny amount , good luck in fact it's improved so much my wife has started to drive it now

check bolts through starter are tight and earthing correctly or test it by running an earth from a starter bolt to chassis. I had a non starter for 2 months. The starter bolts were a good enough earth for my meter to say they were earthing but they wern't. Cleaned up the nuts and surfaces and no mo...

Hi I've got an intermittent fault with the starter ( 1986 , 1.9 dg ) it can suddenly refuse to turn over then turn it on and off a few times it then starts , my first thought was solenoid but sure I can hear it click suppose I'm trying to find out if it's possible to buy the solenoid septate and is ...

I had this same problem tried lots of fixes but the final fix was undoing the joint clamp ( about half way a long the van underneath ) and holding both ends twisting just about the distance of one spline , but can't remember if it was clock wise or anti but just that small amount completely changed ...

I wouldn't be able to trust any repair ... a new pump isn't that expensive and are readily available so that would be (and has been when the very same stud snapped off in my first waterpump) my advice ... I replaced the pump and in the comfort of the workshop drilled and retapped the original and k...

Hi got a problem ( as usual ) trying to remove the metal water pipe on 1.9DG the lower allen bolt just would not move being rounded off by who ever worked on it last . any way had to resort to punch and hammer and the bit of casing that the bolt goes into has cracked and a piece fell off :oops: is t...

good plan all the best projects start that way

Hi noticed the metal pipe going from water pump to thermo is looking very poor , so bit the bullet and got a new one :) , now the thing is do I have to drain the whole system to replace it or can I get away with just losing a pipe full of coolant or will it just empty the system if you remove the ol...
