My wife's cd player (Blaupunkt Valencia) died on the way home from work the other day. I replaced the ten amp fuse and she had music again. However, while I had the unit out I noticed a black wire (ground?) with a ring terminal coming out of the adaptor harness that looked like it should have...

Hi Spuffington (Spuffy?) You can do the window thing yourself. It happened to me, only on the passenger's side. The glass slipped out of the lower channel and wedged itself in the vertical channels. Remove the door card, around six screws and eight or ten plastic clips (can't remember!)...

I saw a set of Sparco pedals I liked on Cisco's site and bought a set on eBay. Installation was pretty straight forward for the clutch and brake pedals (off with the rubber pads, drill two holes in each pedal, attach, etc.) but the accelerator pedal was something else. The plastic pedal that...

I changed the Nissan fuel filter in my wife's LX last week. The car has 100,000 miles on it and I doubt it had ever been changed before, or at least not lately. I cut the top off the canister and the liquid, I won't call it fuel, that spilled out was as as thick and black as ink. Really foul...

"Which" tyre tests for stokefan Which magazine (courtesy of my local library) carried out a series of tyre tests last year and published the results in the March (2004) issue. Twenty-seven tyres sized 165/70R14T up to 225/45R17W were tested under varying road conditions for wet and dry grip...

MOT Website: no cat necessary From the MOT Website, Questions & Answers, page 2 "There is no necessity to have a catalytic converter on any vehicle. However, your vehicle will be MOT tested as if it had one and it is unlikely that it will pass the emissions part of the MOT without the cat...

I replaced the alloys on my Super a few weeks back and put the Super's alloys on my wife's LX. I weighed each wheel and tyre combination and was surprised at the outcome: Stock steel wheels with 155/70r13 tyres: 11kg/24.2lbs Stock Super S alloys with 175/60R13 tyres: 12kg/26.4lbs...

Okay, Micra Boy, trying it again: Ha! Success. Let's try another. Outstanding. Thanks for your help and patience. S

Okay et al, I'll try all that but in the meantime I've managed to get an email off to Kev with a good photo. Much obliged. S

Okay, I've managed to resize to 800x600 but when I go to browse and upload, the image doesn't show up on the post. Like this reply, for instance. Thanks for the offer, Kev, but I've got to get this sorted out. I can't keep sending my photos to you to post for me. Sorry to be such a dunce...

Okay, Jim, thanks, thought it was something like that but I'm not sure how to go about it. Busy now going through the guides for my camera (Canon Powershot A520. New to me.) for a clue. I'll also look in ZoomBrowser EX. Soixantaine

Won this on an eBay auction last June. Great little motor. Hmmm, thought it was all going too smoothly. Tried to attach image from my hard drive but at 1.87(?) it was rejected as being too large. I'll see if I can sort myself out and try again later. Any advice appreciated. Soixantaine

Great site, a thumbs up. And thanks to Kev and James for sorting out my membership problem. We've two K11s in the family, a Super S (mine) and an LX (my wife's), both bought through eBay. Only had them a couple of months so am still getting acquainted with pros and cons. I do as much work...
