I thought it might of been thermostat. Drives like a dream when town driving and it only happens sometimes. Might have to get it in the garage :( how much u reckon for a new pump and fitting?

Hi all. So..... cars been running perfectly, jumped on the M6 and was only on it for say ten minutes when all of a sudden the red STOP light came on my dash. Realised it was my temp needle that was shooting up say every 30 seconds. Then dropped straight back to half way, all within about 4...

Tried to get my scuttle panel off today. Got to the wipers and couldn't pull them free whatsoever. But I've got the same problem. Need to work out how to pop the wipers off. Ball joint breaker maybe?

I work down the road from MIJ. And got told when MIJ first got started they forced one of the partners out and now he does exhaust systems in wednesbury. Dno how true that is.

Yeah im thinking maube its only when we have excessive rain like yesterday. Gna rip the sunroof out sunday and give it a good clean. The seal seemed fine so might be the hinges.

Im from wednesbury too :) welcome

You've done one mate?

The pipes are clear and water runs smoothly out. Both drainage points clear under the sunroof and the pipe that goes from the bulkhead is clear and passing water easily. Confused.

Sooooooo, after all the shitty weather i noticed that my drivers seat was wet and the lining behind my sun visor was soaked. Drainage pipe blocked do you reckon? Amd how easy is it to find a blockage in your bulkhead and take your sunroof out?

You win

So i took her in for a service this morning, had a few little niggles sorted out. Picked it up and hes told me brake pads, discs and lines nees doing, 160 quid. Turns out my cars been standing for about a month not driven. And my discs are, in the words of the mechanic...bol***ed! Could be worse...
