RE: newbie introduction - muply - 21-04-2012 Welcome to the forum Kieron RE: newbie introduction - khill - 21-04-2012 Hi guys thanks for the warm welcome Quote:Welcome to the forum Kieron. What sort of things need to get fixed? What year, model and engine do you have? Its a 2002 model 1.9 litre diesel DW series engine....what I need to fix....mmmmm nearside front position lamp not working.... now fixed offside stop lamp not working.... now fixed nearside headlamp aim too low.... to be done power steering pipes or hoses leaking from joint.... now fixed offside steering rack gaiter split.... to be done nearside steering gaiter split.... to be done brake load sensing valve seized.... to be done parking brake lever has no reverse travel.... to be done so a bit to do yet, i would say a little concerned regards their description of the steering rack gaiters as I can't find any splits, but the rubbers at the end of the track rod ends are perished and split...could they mean these, are these a fail on a MOT??? Cheers Kieron RE: newbie introduction - muply - 21-04-2012 I would say it was the rubbers at the end m8 RE: newbie introduction - khill - 21-04-2012 Cheers muply, well between dodging the showers and not being able to speak to the guys who carried out the MOT I have decided to replace the track rod ends aswell as the steering gaiters on both sides, I think replacing the track rod ends has made replacing the gaiters a touch easier, well on the drivers side anyway and for the total price £32 for all the parts a job worth doing I guess. The garage wanted £39 per hour + VAT to carry out the repairs and estimated 4-6 hours work so saved myself a few quid along the way.

RE: newbie introduction - khill - 22-04-2012 You could be right there Ron, right time to tackle the load sensing valve, but first of all where is it located? anyone? pictures would be great.
