Hi Ivan, Sorry for the lack info, just a moaning moment in last post, after new alternator, fuel tank, fuel filler pipe, one battery, tyres, some welding I subbed out to a local garage and now wish they hadn't allowed their pet seagull to sh*t all over it and call it welding.. Pulling my...

Bare metal all then..? Ok. Thanks for the heads up re filter. I'll drop the tank, probably paint that too.

Hi Guys, Just spent a stupid amount of beer tokens on a new tank guard as not only has mine corroded away one of the tank straps snapped too. So new guard & two new straps in hand.. They all look to be in a thin black primer, any suggestions on paint to protect them going forward.. and...

Just heading out to play with my new found knowledge, still at a loss at to why the accumulator doesn't bleed.. ? Took the rear height sensor off last night, clean as a whistle inside. But I think it had been over extended as a stop tab has been bent. Watch this space.. :)

I do have a Denso IT 2 but it's so long since it's been used I think the rechargeable internal batteries aren't holding charge long enough as it keeps flickering and being a pain. I'll get reading.. Thanks for the links. db :)

Wheels back down on the ground now... would old oil or it may even be the wrong oil in there account for a groaning, moaning sound when turning even at speed..?

Thanks for all your replies guys, so if I'm reading this correctly.. Any other manufactures red anti freeze , keep the front wheels off the ground for ever so i don't actually need power assisted steering.. :)

Hi Guys, Noticed my power steering groans a little louder than I remember.. Checked the fluid level which is fine but it does seem to be a yucky brown colour.. Thought I'd change it.. How is best to remove the old fluid, I have an oil suction kit so plan on using that unless there is...

Good you got yours sorted Chief.. uHu.. I bought my key from ebay Australia, they took my chassis number to make sure it was the right one... Still trying to program it though.. :)

Hahaha... thanks Steve.. :)

Hi Guys, I have just serviced my rear brakes, callipers completely removed so I would like the torque specs for the caliper mounting bolts & the slider bolts too... If there is a list of all torque specs any where that would be great.. Cheers, db.

Hi Chief, I found this too and printed it off, managed to get to the stage where I believe I was in programming mode, doors locked and opened by themselves, but it wouldn't recognise my new two button key fob.. I have left it for a while as I was spending to much time on it... Hope you...

Hi All, I need to make up a spare set of keys, I have bought a blank replacement all the way from Australia, I can get it cut ok just need help with the programming. Been on You tube and tried a couple of recommended solutions but no luck. Do I have to program it to open and close doors...

Hi Steve, Only 39 years, still a new boy then... Eh?.. :) When I bought it from a second hand car site i noted the A/c wasn't working, I allowed myself to be fobbed off with "it only needs re gassing" so down went the purchase price.. What are your thoughts on these DIY re gassing cans...
