Cheers, will give it another go, what a pain in the arsch.

Apologies as this has been done to death, but still no luck on this 1.3 engine. Symptoms. Drove 30 miles, no probs. Started next day from cold, temp guage slowly went into red after about 2 minutes and stayed. So, unscrewed old one and replaced guage temp sender with brand new one. It worked...

Oh well, Best of luck.

Any Good, noticed any performance benfefit? Thinking of doing the same.

ear defenders?

It is confusing, your right!. If you contact seller and quote its a "yr 2000" and model type, that should be enough. All models made in yr 2000 should have the same bonnets and wings if that helps. Alternatively go to a good breakers, the benefit that you should be able to get wings and bonnet...

Oh wow, There's a good chance its this, a known issue with 96-98 cars. It is to do with the wiring loom. Its not a fault, its how it was made back then. A new loom was brought out with an added 1.5k resistor. Anyway: symptoms If you drive the car just 4-5 metres and park and leave it, eg on a...

If you buy a cheapy, be sure to get one that has a straight exit pipe (that can attach a nice chrome tip) rather than the ones that look like a droopy pe.nis:)

Go faster stripes will be far cheaper and will add more BHP. Put 2 viper stripes on your bonnet and your looking at 2 secs off your 0-60 and +10mph top speed. That's what I'd go for.

Glen, I've had same problem, so I have an easy fix for this, Symptoms are, intermittent only does half its usual sweep, Wipers end up half way up the screen. Wipers don't go back down by themselves So this might help you, it's worked on both my previous K11 pre FL's, You will need 1 x 30cm...

Are you sure you haven't got an aftermarket manifold? eg a Janspeed or equivalent and a look inside your airbox might explain your little pocket rocket. Otherwise maybe you just got a goodun! I've known 1.3 micras having 92hp standard on whats supposed to be a 75bhp motor so it doesn't surprise...

Yes it was for real. In the end I managed to slice most of my k.n.o.b off with a hacksaw. I applied a bit of force to the lower shaft, gave it a couple of jerks and it eventually came off. It was a very happy ending:)

Did you sort it?

Sure it ain't wind noise, from rubbers in back windows??? probably not....

Gonna leave it for a bit, making hand sore. I'll give it another good whacking tomorrow :) Cheers

Cool advice, but sounds really painful if you get it wrong, it wont snap off at the base will it? I've already tried heating it with a blowtorch, that didn't work, it was still stiff and I couldn't pull it off. The last thing I want to do is cut my k.n.o.b off really, but sacrifices have to be...

Anyone sawed through the rounded rubber ones before????

What did I do today? Went to Halfords, the worlds most expensive excuse for a car shop. Purchased a plate which set me back £20. Felt sick. Next fitted prism Blue bulbs to the clock, I wish they made these things exact replacements instead of always having to cannibalise things.

I'm on my 3rd K11. For some reason the rubber gearknob on the latest one wont come off. They usually unscrew easily and allow me to put my nice replacement one on! I've tried looking for a previous post, but couldn't find it for k11's. The k.n.o.b won't turn at all and its like the previous...

Done it!!!! If anyone else has this problem Here you go for future reference - There is a little black bottle top thing, this goes on the cylinder, you turn it till it grips, then you pull the cylinder and the cap, It is a a magnetic catch type operation, what a git for anyone who loses the...
