started after i had the misfortune to park my car in the exact place where a runaway trailer would end up 8 hours later !! took out my nsr cluster and destroyed my tailgate anyhoo ive repaired it to the point where it is again road legal ie bent the boot back into shape so the boot locks and all the lights are functioning my problem is 3 days after this happened the near side has a knock knock knock sound on pulling away and stopping wheel seems secure and as i have no access to my garage has anyone had any similar noises from the near side that could point me in the right direction !? cheers folks !

just to let you know thats it all working again !! all info correct and greatly appreciated :ph34r: many thanks once again !

lovely ! cheers mate !

cheers mate i'll give that a whirl in the morning !

in nearly 5 years ive went through two sets of headlight bulbs ! not bad at all in my book !

cheers mate ! actually stumbled across this earlier trying to set my clock and date !! so tick the dash lights off the to do list ! still cant get the auto lights to work ! and now that my dash lights are working the time flashing away at me is doing my head in lol ! btw can you guess i never got a manual for this car ?! to be fair this is the first real trouble with the car in the 4 and a half years !

how do you turn the dash lights up mate ?

right here we go ! after a wee while of not getting used the battery went flat so after much cursing and two hours jump starting it from my audi the car coughs back to life ! yay !! except the auto headlights arent working anymore ? have to do them manually and all the dash lights are extremely dim .. to the point i cant see my speed at night !! not cool ! anyone know how to remedy this ? many thanks

surely i cant be the only one to try this chaps ? anyone ?

hi i have an 04 2.0 hdi vtr bosch injection , trying to fit a tuning box but am having bother gaining access to fit it .. anyone else done this and have any tips please ?

cheers for that mate !

why oh why didnt i check this forum before doing the brakes on my c5 ?! i had the offside piston out in no time flat ! unamused ! but no bother ! saw it was a reverse thread and just assumed the other side would be the same ! uh uh !! anyhoo bled through the o/s no bother then lost the light my question is how much is a new piston because it has been open to the elements for 3 days now as its been far to wild to work on a car ! (west of scotland !) on top of a new piston do i need a new dust seal too ?

i just ran my external aerial up to the parcel shelf less clutter on the dash i find .

if its anything like my 04 hdi its a piece of piss mate take the engine cover off ()and throw away !) big black cylinder should now be staring you in the face with a few pipes coming out the top ! undo the lock ring (gnurled bit ) remove old filter replace with new remembering to renew the o rings . bish bash bosh jobs a good un !

so am i right in saying that the hpi engine is a derivative of the trusty hdi engine ?? ie diesel ?
