Correct me if I'm wrong here: The rocker box should simply remove after removing the two hex nuts on top or is there some knack to it? I'm starting to think one of the previous owners has used the god awful instant gasket (aka Silicone Sealer) so it's stuck solid. Let me know if there's a...

Forums playing games I couldn't find my Central locking post, Charlotte

Can the K10 take a central locking kit? Was there a factory option for central locking ? If it can take a Central Locking system is there any type I need to specifically look for ? Charlotte

cigarette lighter It isn't ? You're right it isn't Black is ground. I was looking at the volvo wireing which I've since found has been butchered Blue is live (most of the time) Charlotte

Wheel Sizes I've checked with Ronal wheel company who are claiming that I can put anything upto a 16 inch on without any mods, 16 inch would need a slight flair on the arches and a 40 aspect tyres, yes 195/40/16 tyres are expensive. So I'm going to stick with either 14 or 15 inch with no mods...

Hi there should be two wires one will be either Black or Red or stripped these are normally live, the other will be either Brown or grey this should be earth. A good way to tell is in most cases the plugs on the back of the cigarette lighter socket are different sizes so you cannot plug it...

tyre and wheel sizes So if you're running 14 inch wheels and you've lowered it does that mean if I go to a 16 inch wheel the aspect would need to drop to 35 ? Could be interesting or is 15 the maximum, now what if I flair the arches then what size could I fit? Charlotte

Ok thanks for that (saves me some cash) anyone got a set of 13 or 14 wheels I can buy Charlotte

Can anyone tell me why I can't post in buy or sell ? I keep getting a message regarding privaleges. All I want to do is ask if anyones got a set of alloys or at least 13 inch wheels for K10. Thanks Charlotte

What does everyone run on their K10s? I'm thinking of finding the largest wheelsize I can possibly fit. I know I can now run 195/45/15 (from previous post in General) I'm curious to see what the largest wheelsize is Charlotte

Hi happy Halfords have advised me that I can fit 195/45/15 to the K10 1.0 on an F plate is this correct ? Would I be able to go to 205 tyres? Charlotte

Timing Belt 40k ? that's not many miles in 18 months. I'm rebuilding this for a client it's not mine it won't do the miles I do The volvo can, I've only had the thing since april last year added another 100k on it so a micra will not do the job. Charlotte

It's not a pleasent thing when springs go. I still suggest it's a bush gone. Shocks will be different. Doubt if it's the diff, that would make an awfull noise. Still check the bushes or ball joints. It's going to be one of those. Charlotte

creaking It's not a CV joint. Way to tell if it's a shock is to press down on the side of the car which creaks let go and see if it comes up and settles if it comes up but continues to bounce it's a shock. My money is it's either a ball joint or the wishbone bushes it may even be a...

Oh if that's a T2 I could buy it and fit two on my Volvo V6 already got one as I couldn't find the Renault Twin turbo version hmmmmm Twin Turbo Volvo V6 estate is that a nice thought or what Charlotte

1.0 to larger There is ? Now that's what I needed to know thanks. (Off to find one) Charlotte

That's pretty cheap I bet they need a total rebuild. What about K10 1.2/1.3 or 1.6 ? Charlotte

1.0 to 1.6 K10 thanks for the reply but the other post doesn't tell me anything what I need to know. I now know a G16 fits. I still need to know the other questions Charlotte

Creaking Check the following: All suspension bushes Ball Joints All Suspension parts Sounds like either a ball joint is on the way or a bush. You might be advised to check the strutt springs too for possible failure. Charlotte

Just for interest what is involved in replacing the 1.0 engine of the car I have? Will the larger engines mate to the autobox and mounts ? Do the larger engines come carb or EFi? What kind of money can I expect to pay for a larger engine ? Maybe someone can let me know thanks...
