tooSavvy Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Today I was wanting a blast of 'super toasty' up onto the screen, to clear fogging.... The 'up to screen only' lever is great but I'm not getting really hot air 😕 The set up is a bowden cable/slap across Blue:Red lever..... this moves the bleed flap [heater core always hot] to mix air for hot/cold. It would seem some sort of loss is jamming it short of full HOT. Diagrams and the web forum describe a fairly simple test/check + fix. This time of year it is at the top of the list......  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 My mudflaps arrived..... Softly flexible and just the job! Ordered a dizzy cap + rotor (megga cheep, with promo code too).... I'm going to research the cost of a set of Hi Energy leads. 3 NGK in the works. Sparks are crucial to safe/reliable running. *if it ever stops raining I will drop the oil 😕  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefoot Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 This thread needs many, many more pictures. I'd particularly like to see the seats, the gear selector, the air con button, the view from the driver's seat, the view from the back, and the boot/opening. tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 I remember a rally commentator being told (by a Finnish co driver) "Well, as long as I'm not looking out the rear window we're doing OK!" Hannu Mikkola [sooo sideways] may have been the driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooSavvy Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Heater issues were less than taxing...... The white plastic lever is quite plainly hanging off the side of the heater, under dash, and likely thwacked by a foot!! I flipped the lever to cold, which moved the Pin as far away from the pivot point as poss >> flicked White arm over Pin, pin into Track >>> flipped lever to hot and it fully returned + locked the flap combo onto 'Super Toasty Warmest' Result...... rainagain, Shirley Knott, BeEP and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooSavvy Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hmmm.... Made an interesting discovery! The 3potta G10 has a 'bolt on' bottom pulley... that is... it is removable from the Timing Belt bottom sprocket. https://www.onlinecarparts.co.uk/ashika-8914356.html If I d.i.y. the timing belt/tensioner, I don't need the fabled WindyGun/CrankBolt loosening grief *likely be 'cut 3/4 width of old belt..strip away & thread on new belt..cut last 1/4' >>> reassemble!

tooSavvy Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 @7:45.... Draining, while simultaneously refilling with new ATF, guarantees the whole tranny is refilled with fresh.

tooSavvy Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 The 'correct' rotor arm arrived earlier. Just spent 5mins swapping it out... CarPartsInMotion who supplied the original [wrong part No] >>> from their web listing >>> won't exchange FOC return. Return postage is basically £3.50 for £4.50 refund 😕 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50595336357_a1f92bb87a.jpg I ordered Left one, Car has Right one... They don't accept liability for MY error as I didn't ring them, to confirm it was the correct part for my car.... Like you WOULD when it says in listing 'fits 1.0i Swift! ' .......
