Hi guys

how easy is it do to all this myself. Is it a case of just following a few instructions? Any how to's? I could'nt seem to find any. I dont want to break anything like I did last time I changed something.

Thanks

Thanks for that. Makes sense. I accidentally put 4 litres of unleaded in the car a week ago. It was on empty so I filled it up to the brim with Diesel. It does seem to do less mileage. Heard they mix a little unleaded type juice with diesel to make the winter fuel.

I was goign to order the Febi one ...

Thanks mate. Ill go for the Febi one. Seems great value and robust if many are buying it. One on order already.

Would the alternator pulley cause a leak? I cant see how.

the noise is definitely from the power steering. It was bone dry upon checking yesterday. As soon as it was topped up it was fine. Checked again this morning still toped up and no problem on start up.
