lisbon_road Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Doing the front shocks and top mounts on my wife's Zafira A on Friday. Last night, free'd off the wiper blades as they were stcuk. Other than that it seems straight forward enough, though any suggestions welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Y10 speedo is still playing up. Couldn't find any issues with the wiring either at the sensor end or the clocks end (although it's such a tangle of bloody wires behind there that I would struggle to spot any issues that did exist), so I'm going to assume that the timing of it going haywire was coincidental and not linked to me fitting a new horn (the sensor is on the other side of the gearbox anyway). So I've fixed* it by unplugging the wire from the sensor - I'll just use my phone as a speedo for now. Long term I should probably fix it, but I'm not sure whether it's the sensor or the clock causing the issue - is there any way of measuring the signal from a speed sensor? Is it variable voltage or is it a pulsed signal? Sensors are available but it's a twat to get to, at least without removing the brake master cylinder (which I'd really rather not do). There is a replacement speedo on eBay but it's in Italy and thus in km/h (although one assumes the faces should be straightforward enough to swap over).

cobblers Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Speedo sensor will almost certainly be a pulsed signal, X pulses per mile.If it goes wild even after you've stopped, I reckon the clocks could do with a repair. If you can spare them for a bit I'm happy to have a look. DVee8, wuvvum, Skizzer and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 In answer to Stuboy, the plastic on the moulded clips used to connect the handle to the tailgate frame on a Qashqai isn’t up to the job and eventually snaps. I’m lucky, ours is black so I just bought an aftermarket unpainted one as a replacement. There’s three different types depending on whether you’ve got keyless entry and/or a reversing camera. I’ve seen a lot of hideous chrome ones, Qashqai owners can go almost as mad with the stuff as PT Cruiser owners. DVee8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Found the interesting corner in the car park. There is someone who commutes in a Viggen...need to find that and park there some day. I find myself liking this car more and more each time I drive it. It's really hard to compare it to anything I've had beforehand as it's so different. It has a nice old car warm smell to it. I really, really want to try out an NG900 or early 9-3 now. I've spotted a couple on eBay but really shouldn't. But might.

If you can spare them for a bit I'm happy to have a look.It goes wild as soon as the car starts moving, so it's obviously getting an input from the sensor to send it haywire. It doesn't stop until the ignition is switched off though. That's a very kind offer - I'll probably stop using the car once the council start salting the roads so will drop you a PM then.

However once you do, you wonder why the hell you didn't get one sooner. Even after GM messed them around, the engineers still managed to keep Saab mostly feeling like a Saab. They're certainly not the best car in the world but there is something about them gets under your skin. Certainly not the most reliable either, yet people keep fixing them as they just seem right.

beko1987 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Does anyone have any opinion of Autogreen tyres before I get a pair nailed to the front of the Zafira over the weekend? They are very reasonably priced, the same figures for fuel, noise etc as Avon zv7's and I'm sure I've seen the name on modern car tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcyonecorporation Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 SVX is back. Got bummed by the gearbox place. I think the 'box mounts are super frigged 'cos I'm certain the box shouldn't be able to shake the car in reverse or go GNNNNBANG underneath the car under load. Engine mounts and box mounts are still available from Subaru, amazingly. Booked into tame garage to diagnose fault (after they've stopped laughing). Then it needs a new exhaust, because new metal doesn't tend to weld to rust and voids. Skizzer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alcyonecorporation Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Autogreens are OK but don't pay stupid money for them; not worth it. They're bargain basement and they need to be priced as such. beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 £40 a tyre fitted which seems good VALU, and on a Zafira B unlikely to be raced etc. Its either £102 for 2 Autogreens and tracking (found a 50% code and it needs doing anyway) or £180 for the pair of Avons...
