Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Bonnet cost. Would like an idea ?
« on: 07 July 2009, 14:03:34 »
Got a nice (horrible) dent just above the grill on the Mig.
Had quotes of £100 - £250 to pull out, fill and match to car.
How much would a facelift replacement bonnet cost in the colour 380/41L: Krypton Green Mica (00-)?
Want to get some idea of how much I need to save

General Car Chat / Self levelling
« on: 13 July 2011, 17:38:31 »
Just investigating a possibility for improving the ride whilst towing.
Is it possible to fit self levelling suspension to my CDX?
If it is possible, what is involved, what parts would I need and how much should the parts cost from an OOF breaker??
Just curious..........

General Car Chat / Exhaust time
« on: 02 November 2010, 11:09:42 »
Well, after years of bodging the system, I have finally decided to replace it as it fell off
I am going for this from Eternal:
Central Silencer
Central Silencer
Rear Silencer
I have selected the 3.0 rear box because it has twin exits 
I just want you guys to confirm these are the correct parts and they will all fit?

Have chatted with Tony and booked my car in at Tyre and Tech in Lincoln on Monday afternoon to have the geometry set up. Its the first time they have done it through WIM so Mig is a guinea pig.
Hopefully, it will all go smoothly

General Car Chat / Front drivers door lock
« on: 06 September 2010, 22:27:09 »
Even though I never use the door lock and always use the remote I need to know something about it.
Around the key hole there is a plastic ring which is not painted. It almost looks clear. Why is it like that?

General Car Chat / Amazing hidden power
« on: 10 June 2010, 17:58:33 »
Had a problem with my Miggy recently. She has been a little down on power. If you drove it once you wouldn't notice, but I felt the lack of acceleration.
The exhaust has been blowing for a while, a small hole the size of a penny. I filled it with Gungum (crap stuff I know) but it blew it out next day. Still down on power.
Today I looked up the tail pipe and all I could see was a mass of wadding in the tail pipe. I pulled it all out and stuck my wet and dry vacuum up there and removed all the wadding.
It has made one heck of a difference. On a stretch of road I travel each day the car has gained 10mph.
It could be my imagination but I don't think so. Would a blocked rear silencer reduce power this much? :-?

General Car Chat / North American 7 pin wiring
« on: 07 June 2010, 16:16:57 »
I know its a long shot but has anyone had any experience of the wiring on a trailer pulled by an American car?
To quote:
The issue I am having is the turn signals / stop lights connection. The turn signal and brake wires don't go to separate pins as per all of the other diagrams I have found on this and "other" mitsu forums.
Completely lost here. Putting the brake and turn wire to the same pin causd the turn signals to come on when I brake so that is obviously not correct and just putting the turn signal wires works fine but I have no brake lights on the trailer.
I have found the individual turn signal and brake wires but American Standard trailer wiring has the brake and turn wires combined on one pin. Sort of...
On the trailer there isn't a separate brake and turn signal like on the truck. Really odd. Not sure what engineer thought that would be a good idea.
Basically, if you put on the brakes both lights, left and right, on the trailer will light up. If you keep the brake on and turn on the turn signal one will stay steady on and the other will blink.

General Car Chat / Corsa head gasket?
« on: 21 January 2010, 16:32:56 »
Wifes Corsa 1.4 8v 1998
Symptoms:
Mayo in the filler neck
Almost empty expansion bottle
Had a new HG fitted May 2008 when we bought it
I have refilled the expansion bottle and run the car up to temp. It runs smoothly. No sign of coolant leaks.
On start up it does run a little rough :-/
Does it sound like the HG?
If so can you recommend a supplier and any thoughts on the job. Bearing in mind I have never done a HG before
