One question at a time Dave, you're obviously confusing him :D

[RPWC]

Wish I could do this one John,but we have a meet on the Sunday,which I have organised,so have to be there. SWMBO would NOT be happy with me going Rovering 2 days on the trot.
Pity though,would have liked you and Andy to have a look at the car and diagnose the issues I mentioned to you that day I came down with the bus,still there's always next time.

Are you going to the Nano meet in September?? You can pop down anytime and we will always have a look for you , its what we do :D

[graham2230]

Hi Guys,

Can anyone tell me how long it would take to change the inner (drivers side) steering joint on the rack and if the rack needs to be removed first?

Graham

[johnwh74]

Hi Graham, Do you mean the steering rack ends?

If everything goes ok, you're looking at about half an hour plus tracking up afterwards. The steering rack doesnt have to come out either.

John :}

[graham2230]

John,

Thanks for the info.

Graham

[andy willi]

dave its a mk 1 diesel sorry two many questions at one go


andy

[stocktake]

dave its a mk 1 diesel sorry two many questions at one go


andy

no problem, easiest way is through the grill but as the switches are on the neg it's best to disconnect the battery as i like all my fingers, make sure he has radio code etc. :)

[stocktake]

Anybody have a dremil and can cut the holes in the front bumper on Scouse's MG for the headlight wash system? He will be there with the jets, bottle and BBUS, Looks like i'm busy with fans and resistors, i know Russ is busy all day with BeeJay. :)

[RPWC]

Are you going to the Nano meet in September?? You can pop down anytime and we will always have a look for you , its what we do :D No mate,as the post says, the day after your nano meet,is a meet that I organised,so that's why I can't come for yours, I would have done otherwise.
I'm going to the NEC for the classic motorshow in November,so if I can nick the car for that weekend ,we'll pop in on the way down. We usually stop for a cuppa and a bacon sarnie at the way west cafe on the A1,and I know your not far from there,so could combine the 2,cuppa across the road at the salvage cafe and a visit to you. Bit too far to just "pop down " otherwise:):)

[johnwh74]

[Wolds_lady_2006]

Maybe this is my big chance to get to the bottom of the humming noise I have from the front o/s. (i think its there anyway..lol)

Some members have suggested that it might be rear bearings , as noise travels... doah!

Whenever i put right steer on, the noise disappears:shrug:

So count me in boys, im coming over too..*-)

Maybe i can get my boot leak sorted...dear oh me... all my Christmas's come at once!!:}

sounds about right :D

[Canonite]

Nice to meet you today. I'll be making one in. I have an auto rear mirror that needs wiring up, but i've not got any of the loom for it unless it's tucked away somewhere. Didn't find it when I looked.

Not usually there :(. second option is to connect in on the drivers side A pillar. Base of windscreen. This then depends on a fully populated plug. Pin numbers vary from the black or white plugs. last resort is back to the fuse box behind glove box :)

Only thee wires.


From memory:

White / Yellow ign live
Green / Brown reverse light live
Black Neg.

I did get a diagram with it but hoped to find the plug. It was one of them late ebay finds that was ending quicker than the time it'd take to check the car so impulse won.
I took the pillar panels off and all I could find was the plugs for the visors. Got them on both sides though the passenger one was bundled up right down next to the BCU. It's not an urgent job, it's not like the mirror is redundant.

[johnwh74]

if its ok I'll come down, only been a member for a couple of months and I have the day off :}

Everyone is welcome :D Will see you saturday

[johnwh74]

a car fan with a camera , who'd of thought :D:D:D

You'll be able to see what you have missed on the day mr starbug :D

[stevo snr]

If I come over, do you think I'll be able to do my fan resistor? Every time I have time and stick my head out, It's raining :(

[James.uk]

Course you will, I have a brolly you can borrow.. :D

Devon's next to Dorset innit.. It was put there to stop people wandering too far West and falling down overgrown tin mines.. :}

But Doncaster ain't in Devon, it's up North and on the right a bit.. I saw a sign for it on my way to Thyburgh country park... Was thinking -- M67 - M60 - M62 - A1 but thats over 100 miles! So over the top I must go -- innit... :}
...

[J1MBO]

Yes James mate, but the last time your car returned home your satnav said you were in Cornwall so I thought if you headed for Devon you'd end up in Yorkshire.....:getmecoat: well it seemed a good idea to me :D:shrug:

[James.uk]

You're quite right Jimbo.. I have discovered that if you don't turn the satnav on when making a trip, it still thinks you are where you were before you moved innit.. lmho.. :D :D

Hi guys,

Great day out again and thanks very much for your help with my steering rack problem.

I think your new Saturday lad deserves a special mention, he makes a great cup of coffee.

Ian, hope your journey home went without any rattles or clunks.

Who's is the green car with cream leather interior and painted dash?

Were the door cards and dash original to the car, or added?

All upgrades, deepsea green interior the door cards have been done aftermarket, the cream monogram seats from Lewis and the dash has been done by the owner.

JimWhat a stunning example that green car is .:D

[jubby]

hi guys.the le mans green car is mine,bought it in january to use while i had my mx5 renovated.since using it however i havent had my other car on the road, prefer this one.bought it in sheffield, completely bog standard but only 67000 on clock,interior was a little bland for me but it was unmarked.found this forum,liked what i saw and followed a few how to upgrades.interior has been replaced (not cheap} but am totally happy with the result . i found an 03 personal line with deep sea green leather in a scrappy whilst searching for a bonnet for my sons 206. the car had a blown engine otherwise unmarked so i bought door cards, rear blind illuminated sun visors, floor mats, cruise control switch,steering wheel controls. bought brand new green wheel from a club member,cruise ecu from a different scrappy all now fitted.also bought real wood dash and had it painted (sacrilige or what).door cards re done in cream leather to match my seats,drivers cup holder,chrome door finishers bought from customs inc.all wiring was present so no problems with electrics,mud flaps.what next?

[James.uk]

What next? GET THAT PAINT ORF THE BL**DY DASH that what's next.. That car MUST have a proper walnut dashboard!!

OMgood gawd whatever next.. I need a lie down..... :o

[Union Wheels]

Had a great day listening to all the advice and banter at my first visit here. Thanks to Russ for checking my original MAF sensor (bosch F00C2G2029). I had cleaned it using the dishwasher and was interested to see if it still worked. It did and better than the one I bought from Ebay (Bosch F00C2G2032) which I am told is for a BMW 320D. Good luck to the "Tea Boy" for his efforts and I hope he liked his Tip.

Cheers All,
Pete

No probs, don't think I did either Ken - nice to meet you and have a chat about your car - looks really good and oem.

I thought it looked fist class and its each to his own:D

Now now Rob, none of that stirring :poke: I was impressed with the detail, Kens basically done what could have been ordered under the monogram scheme.

Cheers
