  1. how very odd! its way too big for an earth electrode it seems like the bend is too accurate for it to have been caused by the piston beating it into shape must be something that has dropped in but from where? Intake manifold - have seen acoustic valves and associated hardware being induced through from the inlet manifold but don't recognise that part at all.
  2. Is it a new box or reconditioned? Are you sure the oil is transmission or could it be engine oil?
  3. Thanks for giving the feedback and a detailed review of the item....useful for anyone considering buying one
  4. Heater motor or resistor pack faulty?
  5. I use iCarSoft scanner on Vauxhalls which seems to work well I suspect it is the turbocharger at fault, particularly the variables vanes not moving or gummed up. If this does throw a code for the turbo then maybe look at cleaning it with a cleaning solution which may help matters
  6. Not sure about the towbars but check the connections under the seats (usually coloured yellow) to see if they are connected and in good condition (e.g. not been damaged by the seat mechanism)
  7. Its hard to judge the size of it but looks like the earth electrode from a spark plug.....maybe it was replaced previously and part of it remained in the cylinder?
  8. Hi Chris....welcome to the Club I would think it would have to be an insurance claim and would more than likely be written off if no replacement parts are available
  9. It may be the gauge is not too accurate rather than an issue with the engine temperature failing to get to the normal operating temperature. I would personally invest in an infra-red temperature gun (circa £20) and measure different parts of the engine as it heats up and then you'll know whether there is a fault (stuck thermostat) or whether the gauge is just there for effect
  10. has the exhaust got a leak? if there is an exhaust leak and it is blowing then it can cause this issue
  11. Hi....welcome to the Club Is the clutch totally depressed when changing and is it only between certain gear ranges?
  12. Thanks for the update and also letting us know the part number - its quite easy to snap the bolt when tightening
  13. Check your battery (Halfords do a free test) and replace if necessary There is always more of a load on batteries during the colder weather
  14. What an absolutely fantastic car and from the era when they were built well
  15. I would be tempted to look on eBay for a replacement as don't think you'll get a new one nowadays
