Hi all, got alot of questions to ask and thought it easier to write them all down in one go, hope thats not a problem. Many thanks in advance.
# Still not sorted the horn only working when the ignitions off, wundered if anyone has an idea how much it will cost to have the bsi reset.
#Read the threads on radio replacement but in simple terms if i go to my local breakers and get a second hand cd radio with the same connections will the controls on the steering stalk work.
#On the dash under the button that locks the doors is a row of buttons and hole blankers, i noticed while having a fiddle :lol: that the middle one that looks like a blank cover has wires going into the back of it, wundered what it was.
# When driving from cold if i leave the heater fan off untill the engine is hot, then turn the fan on it smells of curry, propper curry smell, read a thread about pollen filters and hoped it was that but when i looked i cud`nt find one. under the passenger side dash is a round looking thing, i`ll try and put a picture on, any ideas what causes the smell.
# When steering around a island the steering seems to pulsate the other way. hard to explain, its like it tries to go the other way. wundered if anyone had any ideas.
# my headlight adjusters dont work, when i put the ignition on the motor is going but no movement, wud`nt mind but its stuck in the high position, read the brilliant thread on how to fix it but just wundered if anyone had a photo to post of the rod in situ.
# want to take the dash top off to put a second hand radio display thingy in but carn`t see any clips, is it just brute force? didn`t want to break the cover. was going to prise it off with a screw driver but thought it better to ask first.
# sometimes the gear stick seems to stick. mainly when changing from first to second and sometimes when trying to put into reverse. doesn`t happen alot but just wundered if there was any adjustment in the clutch.
hope no one minds me putting such a big list on but thought it was the best way to do it. looking forward to some answers so i can start tinkering.
Thanks
