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...

Can be many things. Weather, different petrol company? Also city driving and shorter distances make a huge difference. Stuck in traffic in shitty weather is a killer for mine. Running about 35mpg at the minute

Well I looked and you know the plastic surround of the sunroof on the outside of the car, there's slight gaps and movement I think.

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.

Im from wednesbury too :) welcome

Ill be honest. That is a vent. I never put the bonnet on it and i do harmte it. New bonnet it is then. How hard are they to fit and line up? Or is it worth paying a garage to chick it on? Enough comments to put me off completely. Cheers people :)
