    Interior light sometimes dim and sometimes not?

    Hi, Recently when I open the door my interior LED light isn't as bright as it should be, then randomly other times it is. Is there any reason for this? It's as though the light isn't getting the voltage it should be! Thanks

    ABS Cutting in at Low Speeds!

    Seems a simple enough job, but does it not fit at all without being heated up? Where did you get the abs ring from?

    ABS Cutting in at Low Speeds!

    Right, just been inspecting the fronts and found this; That's the second time in a row Kwik Fit have mis-diagnosed a problem or not found one at all! So can these rings not be fitted by myself?

    ABS Cutting in at Low Speeds!

    I see, are the rear reluctors prone to failing? Can the ABS sensors be cleaned easily?

    ABS Cutting in at Low Speeds!

    Thanks, I've just had it on the ramp at Kwik Fit and got the bloke to check the ABS rings, which were fine.. unfortunately he didn't seem to think there were abs rings on the back (there must be surely?) so they are unchecked. It's had an MOT about 2 weeks and nothing on the CV boots, I...

    So is that a big job then? How do you know which ring it is? Just inspect it?

    ABS Cutting in at Low Speeds!

    Uh oh, sounds bad! Does the driveshaft need to come off to fit these? Is it a pain to fit?

    ABS Cutting in at Low Speeds!

    I've just been out in the car today and for some reason the ABS sometimes randomly cuts in at low speeds ie. under 15mph! Is there any reason it would be doing this?? There are no ABS lights or anything on the dash, the only thing I know of is that the discs are worn and need replacing...

    Leaking Power steering pipe

    I bought a rack from Cit-ren for £60 and my mechanic got the rack off today and has just informed me it was the pipe on the rack grrrr. So i've bought a rack for nothing and now I need a new pipe. I've told the mechanic about Pirtek but he says unless it's a properly fitted pipe it will be...

    Replacing the Steering Rack on a 172

    hi, the rack is from citren 2nd hand. the a/c is at the front so shouldn't make a difference should it? i'll get the garage to sort it as i don't have the time. How long did it take you?

    Replacing the Steering Rack on a 172

    Hi, It looks like my rack will need replacing all because it has a leak from one of the seals :( Citren seem pretty cheap at around £50 for the rack (not sure how much for delivery) So it will just be fitting costs. Does anyone know if the subframe will need to be dropped or can it be done...

    Leaking Power steering pipe

    Does anyone know if it might just be the gaiter that's split or is the Kwik Fit bloke talking sense? cheers.

    Leaking Power steering pipe

    The bloke said you needed to drop the subframe to get the rack out! It doesn't look easy anyway. Is it possible the gaiter is just leaking and needs replacing or is there a seal that does actually go?

    Leaking Power steering pipe

    Oh my god, very bad news.. I've just taking it to Kwik Fit (that's not the worst of it) to get it up on the ramps and the leak is coming from the rack its self!! Near the drivers side gaiter area. They said a seal will have gone and the gaiter will be filling up and when I turn it will...

    Leaking Power steering pipe

    Is there any way to sort this without taking the ends in as I need a car to travel to Pirtek which is about 15miles away.

    Leaking Power steering pipe

    Why didn't you get one made up for a lot less? Did you fit it yourself?

    Leaking Power steering pipe

    Thanks mate, How will I know if the ph1 is compatible, will a picture do? I'll have to get under the car tomorrow and get a picture or a part number. The cheaper the better :)

    Leaking Power steering pipe

    Cheers for the replies. My mechanic said one of the pipes was weeping last time he saw it and he tried to crimp it so I'm assuming it's the pipe its self! I've just been topping it up but it empties at an alarming rate! I have a ph2 Tooney but i'll try Chris first before going to Pirtek...

    Leaking Power steering pipe

    There is a leak that is getting a lot worse that's coming from the powersteering.. It looks like it's coming from near the steering rack so i'm assuming it's the high pressure hose. I've been told this is silly money to fix, are there any other solutions to fix it as i'm not paying £180 for a...
