I have a fuel leak from a hose that runs from the metal fuel pipe to the fuel rail on top of the block. My nearest dealer is chuffing miles away, so I'm popping to Halfrauds instead. Can anyone...

I take it they're 5 stud allys Pete?

Well how ever you fix it, maybe you'll learn to play nice and treat you new knob a little more gentler to avoid this in the future.


:D

Thought as much :lol: Still going to do the repairs that need doing though, it's going to have to last me a while, plus it's MOT is due in August. May not bother trying to better the paint repair...

After some opinions too. I have to make a decision within the next 12 months whether to keep it or PX it for something else. If I keep it I'll be making modifications to it, but I 'm not sure if...

I'm been here a few months now, and I don't think I've actually posted much about my 850, apart from the problems I've had. So here we go!

It's a 1993 850 GLT, 1984cc 20 valve. Had just shy of...

Here we go Cherry:

In this picture the catch is engaged, restricting travel of the bonnet:

There's a little catch on either side that rotates round to allow the bonnet to go vertical. As you lock the bonnet back down it returns the catches to their default position, restricting the...

On mine it's the little stud next to it, that actually operates the latch. As a result the large metal staple that it latches on to has been cut too. But £15 is much better than forking out for a...

Just found this item:

Until this week or last, I could only find this on eBay from the states, and it was about £40 including delivery. Looks like I have a winner.

Cheers Bobby. Like I said, I'm lucky in as much that the sensor just unplugs at the hub. Problem is of course trying to fit the replacement which may have a long wiring loom on it.

I had one Fiat dealer tell me that Fiat never made a 1.2 Stilo...funny I said, as that's what mine is. They didn't believe me and insisted it was a 1.4 until I showed them my V5.

The mechanism has sheared off right by the catch, so the previous owner slipped a saw blade in and hacked the metal staple off that the lid latches on to. So you see it's not just the lid that's...

Will do, to be fair I've never been to a Volvo main dealer, so my comment wasn't really fair :lol: My experience of Fiat main dealers has left me rather jaded I'm afraid!

Forget about this one...I can't get the broken bits off the plate anyway. Looks like I'll be forking out for a new catch :mad:

I'm going to be fabricating a replacement metal latch for my glovebox. When I bought the car it came supplied with a screw in the dash, and one in the glovebox door with a sandwhich bag tie securing...

Quite possibly Bud, the Haynes manual says the following on removing rear wheel sensor:

"On certain models it will be necessary to trace the wiring back until the connector is located and can then...

That's odd mate, there's a connector plug on the sensor on mine!

PE4 then? :D

Not sure what this forums rule is on swearies (I'm on too many forums!)...

...but that bolt is f***ed. I'm thinking mole grips, WD40 and maybe a blow torch :D

Just had a scout and the part numbers seem the same rihght the way across the range, except diufferent parts for front and rear obviously.

Any suggestions for getting that poxy bolt out?

That'd be a bonus. Will have to have a closer look at the wiring; seems a fair guess that if the wirings gone dodgy it'll be around the sensor area rather than anywhere else, right? Given that's...

Awesome. At least with it being an old one it's just screws to get in there, no hacksawing and resealing as I've seen elsewhere on t'internet.

Now where's my soldering iron......

I know it's been covered a few times, but I'm after an answer. My ABS light is on constantly. Just read the codes, and it's showing the following:

1-2-4: RH Rear wheel sensor-faulty signal at...

It doesn't bother me that it doesn't work, but I've got an MOT in August, and not much time between now and then (believe it or not! I'm THAT busy! :lol:) I'm contemplating whipping it out and...
