it turned out that power steering fluid was leaking out of the power steering reservoir, down the hoses and finding its way onto the belt, I fixed this by replacing the hose clips with jubilee type clips and its not done it since.

What I think has happened is the spring clip that goes in the inner cv joint on the drive shaft (not in the gearbox) is broken or missing because I just pulled gently on the shaft and there is loads of movement in and out of the cv joint with no resistance from the clip (if its even there) which mus...

oops, that N/S drive shaft came back to haunt me, last night it slipped out of the outer C/V joint. I had a look at it and it looks fine no obvious damage but what worries me is that simply putting it back together after changing the ripped boot clearly wont fix it. I understand its the retaining ri...

well im very wary of uprated clutches now, mine is still slipping slightly after 1400+ miles of careful driving although it slipped badly when new which could be why its taken so long to run in. if I was doing it again I would go with a high quality std clutch or if I had to I would go for an uprate...

SRS warning light came on a few days ago and has stayed on, (52 plate R45), I have had a few suggestions as to what can cause this, seat belt tensioner plug and some wire in the steering column but im sure someone on here will have come across this and may know of a possible fix

1200 miles later & still some slipping in third at full throttle, boost settled at 14psi but i think it will still be ok, just suprised its taking so long. when they said "round town driving for 500 miles" i think they wernt joking but who is ever going to do that in the real world?

Thanks ETV for that info, i feel more confident it will be ok now, i was going to replace it with a standard clutch if it didnt stop slipping but i understand now that with careful use it will gain grip, its already better than it was after 230 miles

Hi ETV I enjoy seeing all your mods to the van, is that an in line fuel pressure guage in the photo? also how did you convert the window switch bulb to LED & what LEDs did you use? did you need to use a resistor? i have added 12v LEDs to my other car but they burn out. I put concealed lights und...

well i ended up with CG Motorsports Uprated Clutch Kit - Type : Stage 3 - Paddle Clutch (6 paddles) my concern was that this would have a heavy pedal but its lighter than i remember the old one to be, certainly not heavy anyway. now apparently this can handle up to 270ftlbs which is only 20ftlbs mor...

Thanks ETV. i think the siezed clutch arm damaged the clutch master cylinder as it was leaking a little but this was only evadent wen it was off of the car as that part is inside the car way up under the dash, although no fluid was lost from the resevoir. You are right the tool was supplied with bot...
