Re: O/S mirror not unfolding

I have the same problem with my ns, think the folding motor in the mirror body is on its way out. New mirror body needed. I've stopped mine auto folding through the settings menu, don't need it folding all the time anyway.

Re: where's my adblue filler

Re: Not good vibrations

Had clutch n flywheel done a yr ago. had a slight vibration when I got it back, has got worse over time. I'd consider changing the engine mtgs but don't want to throw anymore significant money at it unless I know its gonna fix the problem. anyway of check the mtgs other than looking for oil?

Re: Not good vibrations

My vibration come and goes, from very mild to quite severe. Noticed at the weekend when I opened the bonnet, there was quite alot of lateral movement on the engine. The hoses on bulkhead were shaking quite bad, this can be obviously felt inside the car, if the ns window is open slightly it rattles. ...

Re: 1.9 AWF pd vibrating when accelerating?

snub mount made no difference to my vibration, which is still there, its made of foam.

I had an earlier vibration before the current one, very similar to yours, was cured by replacing the fan pulley, the holes had become elongated

Sure mine weren't as low as these, what does it mean if mine are higher?

Idle is 900rpm real steady, mpg along 38 to the gallon urban
