Yep. Today it just went in. Panic over. What the blithering heck!

Wiring simple as it turn out! Problem is the bloody thing will not go all the way in (not because the cam isn’t lined up on the dizzy bottom), even test fitting without the seal and dizzy clamp, it just won’t budge!! Thinking of taking a dremel to the upper shaft above the seal (after masking off th...

Hi I have a 1.9 Dg what what I need to connect or keep connected, changing over to a single vacuum powerspark and coil? Thanks

Apologies for late reply as didn’t have a problem for another 4 months! Maybe the torque on the Allen bolt was too much, as it’s happened again 7ftlb is not much! Thanks for the info.

When I’ve got a moment (it’s my only vehicle) I’ll post a picture of the column and the broken support ring to see if it’s different to the normal column?

Spacer is fitted. Not sure what metal ring you’re referring to?

Yes that’s it. So you’ve fitted it inside the bearing before putting on the column. I just pushed it down with the lipped end down and put the lock/bearing on top. I had to press a fair bit to push it down. I forgot to mention I have that corsa power steering fitted (previous owner) but I believe it...

Yes, how do I go about that please?

The support ring split the first time and the 2nd and I assume the same this time though I haven’t looked yet?

So fitted another new one and that only lasted a week! I’m pretty sure I fitted it correctly each time...

Hi my dipped lights weren’t working after flickering off whilst driving and occasionally working after switching to main beam and back a few time. I have tried to open the switch for that stalk and clean the metal contacts . But as There is a plastic component with is a white/cream U shape and an up...

Great many thanks for that guys, yes it’s my only transport now. Just found a leak from clutch master so that’s taken priority now!

The 1.9 DG I have recently bought came with a battery isolator and of course the clock stops when i use it. Is it possible to wire up the clock to the battery direct/fused, given that floppy circuit board that lives in the dash?

Ah yes drilling a hole might work, good thinking.

Even though I’ve owned a T25 since 2003, I don’t remember when I last changed a front indicator bulb. Well I just have and the lense had a fair bit of water in it. I thought ah, they forgot to fit the rubber seal!! But after a fruitless search I cannot find seals for the front indicators?! I’m Not g...
