I spent a few hours on working on the SD1 yesterday (in the sunshine). Now
has new rear dampers, new (2nd hand) aluminium induction pipes, the temp
gauge works and it's clean and tidy. So it's all ready for a guy to come
and look at it today. And the bugger hasnt turned up. That's 2 no-shows in
2 weekends. Nobbers.
On the plus side I ventured into London village last night and picked up...

Fortunately, I have the wiper motor swap down to a fine art. 45 minutes

New motor is stickered up 'Nippon Denso' - I hope it's better than the

About two years ago, the signpost in this photo cost over £500 (to supply

like to get a rough idea of how much.

Could you give an estimate of the approx cost for the following. Details

Made by Bosch.
The only bits of Mrs H's 156 that have gone wrong have been the German
bits.
Maybe I shouldn't be such a cheapskate - I always keep a used one in
reserve (cost me under a tenner a time) - perhaps buying a new one might
actually be worthwhile.

Hi I have this problem that the anti-slip foot pad on my clutch pedal fell
off. I thought I'd got it back on, but a few days later it fell off again.
It's really awkward to try to force it onto the pedal. Is there a trick
(e.g. using pliers)? Are my fingers just not nimble enough? Would getting
a new pad help (from where?)? Or should I seek professional help?
Cheers!

Hi,
I just bought a Peugeot 307 1.6 HDi 90 and there's something odd about
the stamps in the service book;
i) The first stamp is just a sticker which says, "The previous
operator of this car was contractually obliged to maintain the vehicle
observing Peugeot service requirements and so the validity of the
warranty is not affected by the absence of a dealer stamp in respect
of the first service."

Some appear on Ebay and with VW/Seat/Skoda version firmware.
They will even interface with steering wheel controls with a connects2

Apparently about £300. So about £1k less than a similar specced factory
