I had this problem, it sounded like a cat crying in the engine bay lol, it would be very whiney in the lower gears and then fade a little when in 4th or 5th. Is your battery voltage thingy in the dash sitting in the middle of the white line? I thought it was the alternator at first but changed the a...

Re: How to remove Air Conditioning belt

Well got the new belt on and its running like a dream.

Very fiddly job to do with the lack of space and just when things where going well we found that the tensioning bolt on the alternator belt was missing lol, luckily it was just a case of finding another bolt that would fit.

Many thanks again

Re: engine keeps stalling in the mornings after i've warmed it up

I have something similar happen to mine.

Whenever i drive somewhere and stop, if the engine is still warm when i go to start her up again then she will stall unless i give it a few revs.

Friend told me it could be a breather pipe has a leak.

Re: Caliper question

Hmm i replaced the original one with a second hand one, it worked great for the last 2 months.

Funny enough it was this precise problem that meant i needed mine replaced.

Have i just got unlucky again?

Re: Caliper question

Thanks for all the replies. Well yesterday was a nice sunny day so my dad and i stripped the caliper down and greased everything, bled the brakes and that seemed to free everything up. Took her out for a spin last night and the caliper was nice and cool when i stopped... happy days. However when com...

When i stopped the car i checked the caliper and it was hot, far warmer that the other side. I left it to cool down and when i came back to check it the ca...
