Hendry Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Beaten to it but was going to say all Vauxhalls of that era have a 'car pass' with all that sort of info, on it, key codes, immobiliser codes etc. That other card with key number on it is probably reduntant now as its the code for the locking wheel nut removal key. Although it doesnt look like it, the radio is din size, I had the Delco CDR500 in an Astra mk4 and swapped it out for an Alpine unit no bother, straight swap with no messing about.

omegod Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Ok here's possibly a very stupid question I've bought in a fiesta with allegedly a knackered clutch, having a closer look today there is zero drive i.e. even starting it in gear results in no movement, gear selector sounds like it's doing it's thang. Why do I have no drive baby ???? has the gearbox itself shat itself ? Hydraulic clutch on these things btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artdjones Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Could be a drive shaft in trouble.If one side strips it's splines at the CV joint then no drive.See if one driveshaft turns when the clutch is let in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaryoldcortina Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Or it could just be a knackered clutch... Oops, did't see the next page there. You'll know anyway, if it's the clutch it will stink of burnt linings. DodgeRover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Been trying to sort the non-functioning nearside brake light on the C4 in preparation for its MOT retest on Saturday. I've got it working (for now), but whilst poking around with my multimeter I noticed that the two live terminals for the brake / tail light bulb have around 9 volts running to them even when the lights are off. Is this normal, or is it the electrics being French? The bulb doesn't light with the 9v, even dimly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 It's reasonably doable to shag a clutch that bad, I spent hours welding up and sorting out a Ka for my nan, it drove spot on. Dropped it off at her house and on her first journey up to my mums (1 mile, mostly flat) she managed to fuck the clutch up so utterly completely that you could start it in gear. No drive whatsoever. She said at first it "wasnt very powerful and there was loads of smoke" so I reckon she just set off in 3rd and slipped the clutch all the way til it exploded. It went over the bridge with 363 days MOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fit your bulbs and clean up any contacts then switch the car off . Lock it then unlock , start it up then try the lights . They sometimes need to reset to realise it has working bulbs and supply power to them . richardthestag and wuvvum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrocker Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Does anyone know much about these (apart from the fact they're bumper bar badges, obvs) and if there's any value to them, please? TIA M8s. Car badges, obv. but these were usually made to order for Regimental Associations, Footie clubs etc. by companies such as Renamel, Fattorini, etc. Value depends upon desirability, simple as that really. Some items of a more wider appeal were catalogued for general sale too. I would google the Regimental mottos and find out what they are in order to gauge a value, some of them are now defunct and presumably of limited desirability. The football one looks generic and appears to have lost, or never had, the name tag in the blank. Would have thought £20-£30 for common ones after that it is whatever anyone will pay I guess....
