Can anyone tell me what each wire on the wiper connection does please? This connection I have is from a Corsa B but hopefully the same as a Nova. Brown, Black (with a purple stripe), White, Yellow...
I have two GTE seats that are the same fitment but I think it is called laser pattern. Mine are ok, need a few plastic clips etc but can't get a photo just now as they are in storage.
I think the switch just has one screw and pulls off. It is in Haynes.
Even if the ignition advance sticks it would just idle too fast however put some oil in the dizzy and suck the advance pipe to make sure it moves back and forth freely. Who has tuned the carb? Have...
The weber 32 is brilliant on the 1.0 but if dirt gets in the internal tubes it is very difficult to get it going properly again. It might be an idea to remove it, spray wd 40 through the internal...
No need to remove belt and pulleys on a carb 1.2. I changed the rear pulley cover on my injection one so no need to remove it all next thermostat change.
Yes, downpipe to manifold. Well what I did today was to use the studs that are used for the manifold to block as they are longer and the nut will turn when the stud runs out of thread in the...
I went out just now and put new bolts in ( the old ones had flattened threads), cleaned up the surfaces. the new bolts seem to tighten (I didn't try to over tighten) but the leak is still from the...
I recently bought a 1.3 exhaust manifold but when fitting it the thread nearest the engine and driver for the exhaust were threaded, so I tightened as much as seemed best and use gun gum. It has held...
Has anyone got a OHC 1.3 Exhaust manifold (the one that attaches to the twin down pipe) to sell and post to Aberdeen?
I think it should be the same as mk2 astra 1.3 also.
Set them how I like the car, it's just a road car so not needing anything too severe.
Thanks, I jus put a coilover kit on the car, no MOT issues and it handles fine with reasonable road manners.
Thanks, that's what I thought from what you said regarding the front but just wanted to check, at least I have a use for the rear shockers. I assume using these shockers at the rear won't cause...
I have a set of Koni rear shockers, if I put them on with standard SR rear springs will it make the handling better or create issues?
Thanks, that makes sense. I do have coilovers but also have a standard SR set so might just go with that.
I need a Yellow Koni (not adjustable type) front strut shocker. It is the type that has Koni written on a triangle if that makes sense, I can't find it new anywhere so assume it is an older type.
Were the shocks with 40mm springs worse than standard suspension?
Are standard front strut shockers fine to use with springs that are 40mm shorter in height on a small block car?
My reason for asking, the top of the passenger side of mine wasn't right and is...
I used it, patchy and not as good as a very thin layer of oil (or if you are wearing protective gloves) burnt oil seems to last forever.
Yes, I'll change it tomorrow. The one that was on the car was on this way so probably ok but might aswell change it round, better safe than sorry. Thanks
Thanks, I have never noticed arrows or thought of direction on a new cambelt before, something new everyday.
I have just put a new square toothed cambelt on my 1.3 with the arrows on the belt facing the same way as the old belt.
The arrows are anti-clockwise but I think the engine turns clockwise?
Does...
Thanks
I am looking for a throttle cable for SR which is running the pierberg 2e3 if anyone has one for sale please?
