General Car Chat / Re: Used petrol for once...
« on: 02 November 2011, 18:18:51 »
.......then try Paraffin. 
We used to run a Ford Galaxy 500 Sunliner on it in the 1960's once the engine had warmed up on petrol
You could back it up to the dispenser on a garage forecourt & just get the delivery pipe in the filler behind the rearnnumberplate. All you had to do then was feed florins into the pump until the tank was full
In the morning, we started it by pouring petrol into the carburetor until the engine was warm enough
It went well in first gear, but when the auto box changed up it was not so good so we travelled everywhere in first followed by a noxious cloud of white smoke
People living along the A303 still talk about it to this day (the ones who were not asphyxiated that is)

Maintenance Guides / How to Change Non-Climate Heater Control Bulbs
« on: 14 October 2007, 13:12:44 »
This is for those people in the cheap seats without Climate Control but who only have the standard Heating system (2 temperature, 1 Fan speed & 1 Direction control)
It is possible to change the bulbs without having to remove the Radio which means you can avoid loosing one of your resets or the use of the Radio if you do not have a Radio Pass if you were to disconnect power to the Radio
Here's how:
1) Open the Ashtray
2) Release the catch on the right-hand side of the inner ashtray part & remove it by pulling upwards
3) Remove the screw at the back of the ashtray & remove the outer ashtray part
4) Gently ease out the various switches & blanks starting with the Hazard switch
5) Remove the 2 screws at the base of the control panel bezel that are behind where the ashtray was
6) Pull off the 4 control knobs (2 temperature, Fan & Air direction)
7) Remove the 4 screws (1 behind each knob)
Gently pull the bezel forward about 5 cm (there is no need to remove either the radio or the little 'cubby-hole' to the left of the radio). This exposes the 3 bulbs at the top of the white plastic panel behind
9) Pull out all 3 bulbs & replace them regardless of whether blown or not. (If you have fat fingers carefully use small pliers to do this & do not crush the glass)
10) Switch on the lights to verify that the new bulbs work
11) Put it all back together in reverse order
The VX part for the bulb is 93190474 & cost me £0.71 each ex VAT
Note the screws are Philips type not Posidrive so use the correct type of screwdriver

I've got a DEPO fitted & there is no lever either so I guess it's in line with the price paid

Not all Changers are interchangeable and you need to get the correct one for your head unit.I can confirm that DC012 changer goes with SC804 head because I have 2 (one spare)
I think that changer went with the SC804 head unit?
:-/
The leads in the boot woudl suggest to me that you have purchased an incorrect head unit.
