Try pre-filling the slave cylinder if it has lost fluid and also the same with the master cylinder. If no fluid has been lost then try vacuum bleeding as it will be air in the master which can't get through to the slave by the sound of it

Also worth checking the coolant expansion cap (radiator cap) is up to par if not then replace (should be about £10) but be aware if you fix this and it increases the pressure (which it should do) then it could blow other weak cooling system components

Thank you for posting up this very useful guide on replacing the glow plugs. I have a feeling (going by the fact that there is a lot of mention of it being a very cold winter this year) that there will be a lot of glow plug replacements being done this year

Maybe it is the size and type of files (e.g. MP3, WAV, etc) Useful link to determine best method of files used https://www.google.com/search?q=music+file+formats&rlz=1C5CHFA_enGB830GB831&oq=music+file+form&aqs=chrome.0.0i512j69i57j0i512l4j0i22i30l4.4526j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

The link is pressed on by hand.

pulling the fuse may also affect other circuits. It may be worth just removing the bulbs in the interim to diagnose whether this is the cause

I would be tempted to get some new ones, try Autodoc as had some struts (for another car) from them before and keen prices

Glad you got the starting issue sorted, what did the fault turn out to be? Interior lights....would check the power to the one side of the fuse and if nothing then power the other side with 12 volts to see if this illuminates the bulbs

Hi Stickyhair .... welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

Maybe worth going to your local dealer and seeing if they list a spare wheel for it as an option

I think I may be tempted to run the car until it does become an issue with starting in the cold weather

I think you may be able to view it better from underneath but certainly needs removing to repair or replace with this much oil leaking out

I would be checking the Crankshaft and Camshaft Sensor(s) also the MAF Sensor as these could be starting to go faulty More than likely to be a sensor fault more than anything

This is the current situation and a case of getting what you can when you can unfortunately. I remember the confusion when they stopped 4 star and went unleaded and cars had to be modified (ignition timing retarded) to run on the new fuel

Hi Dave....welcome to the Club The Cascada is a great looking car, probably one of the nicest looking large convertibles around (in my opinion Enjoy!

Sounds like the boot light is either draining the battery (e.g. staying on) so it was removed for this reason? Check the condition of the car battery and also remove the bulb in the boot light

Nice simple solution then, I like those sort of easy resolved issues

Sounds like it could be a coolant temperature sensor that is failing or on the edge of its operating limits and causing the light to come on and the fans to stay running?

Carbon build up in the throttle housing and may need cleaning out ultrasonically?

The service lamp shows if there is an engine fault to say you need to visit your local garage. In the case of the Glow Plugs, they may just be below par and still work effectively but may fail during colder months. In the case of a Service Soon light, this also could be down to the fact that the oil has degraded or the Oil Quality was not reset in the ECU last time is was serviced and this can flick the lamp on

It should be integrated within the MAF

Hi Andy I have been running E10 in both my Harley and Z3 as they are rated to be able to run without issues. Also, not sure if its psychological but am sure it runs better on E10 Possibly its because you put different fuel in (e.g. from a supermarket) rather than a premium fuel supplier (BP, ESSO, etc)? ANYONE ELSE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE NEW E10 FUEL - LET US KNOW HOW YOU'RE GETTING ON WITH IT ?

Hi richard blight ....welcome to the Club Feel free to browse and post and hopefully you'll find the answers you want. Also feel free to post responses if you think you can offer assistance Good to have you onboard!

Hi Combo man .... welcome to the Club Not sure is the simple answer but would imagine it would come as standard though
