Sorry, do not have any bits but do you know what the cause of it "rolling" by itself was? I have known it happen on BX's if the handbrake is not set too tight and the suspension lowers. Just thought I would mention it.

Need a Rear ABS Sensor

Just discovered I need one of these little beauties. I had a faulty front one last year, just got round to putting the new one on only to find that in the meantime the rear one has packed up. Checked the wire and all that. So where is the best place now. ECP was very good last year but they seem to ...

from my experience, buy Citroen bleed nipples!! God knows what there made of but there stupidly hard and very difficult to snap, twice the price of 'factor nipples (so like £1 each) but worth there weight. :D Just to mention I have bought the said item from Citroen. They are very nice being solid g...

I was aiming to try and get it lose enough to twist out. I am just worried if I take any more out it may blow my chance of putting an original size back . I may just have another look now dinner is out of the way!

I was hoping to keep the same size. I have not drilled beyond the threads, in fact I think the biggest bit I used was 4.5mm. Hence there is still something to tap into to recover the original size. Do you think this will work? Or just end up with a load of shredded bits? Or what about one of these b...

Vanny, That looks a nice set. When I visit Sears now and then they have all sorts of things like that. I keep buying kits which I think will be handy. If I use them once they have normally saved me a packet and a lot of hassle. Anyway, I have been out messing about this morning and drilled the item ...

Sheared Bleed Nipple

As per the title. I have a caliper but the nipple is sheared off. I am thinking about drilling and tapping it. Has anyone done this or even better, any ideas on how to get the thing out. Keeping it central may be a bit of an issue drilling. The rest of the caliper is good so would be usable one sort...

Just to update you on this, the car has started fine all week. I am almost 100% sure it will have been the little module in the photo above. It must have got a bit damp or dirty on a connection. Relief :!:

Yes its now been superceeded by a subscription charge type, i.e. more ways to make money! Hum, that Honda is looking more attractive (just joking) but what a p*ss off. Any idea what the cost is or is it per request or something? Just found the answer on the site :!: Guess an hour will do. 3 euros+V...

I have to say that for sheer ooomph a modern turbo diesel does take some beating (dont go mad!), yes I know it redlines at 4500rpm but if u can use the revs right and change gear quick enough u can really move. And be honest how often do u use the 0-60? I find the mid range acceleration to be fair ...
