I am so at a loss I have no idea what to look up online to try and diagnose the issue. So I was just doing what I thought was some routine tidying up, just reconnecting a light which came unplugged at the plastic screw terminals and adding a couple of blade terminals to connections which I had...

Hi guys. This forum kept popping up while doing research about diesel hobs. Btw I will preface by saying that all my considerations are for a ford transit connect where economic use of space is of primary importance. I am part way through a conversion. Done the insulation yet no electrical...

Hey guys. I'm considering changing my car... maybe... perhaps - I've not fully made my mind up. To that end, yesterday I had a test-drive in a used Merc C300h estate (a diesel/self-charging hybrid). The car was in excellent condition, drove great and, considering the performance available, it...

At the risk of duplication I will start this thread (posted this to the T6.1 order book closing thread as well.) There is a new YT video from Ford re the 24’ Transit Custom which mentions many variations in AWD, 8speed auto, Kombis etc. I wonder how close this is to a T8 (or whatever it is to...

So, SWMBO has a Fiesta 1.0 Ecotec about 4 years old with 40k miles.....for the last few months we have noticed the digital temp gauge barely getting to 1 bar when 3-4 is the normal range, so it seems to be running cold. The fan heating the cab barely gets warm even on a long run (over 2hrs on...

Hi all, I recently got some Ford Galaxy front swivel seats. The plan is to remove the existing covers, wash and dye them and then put them back on. I have the seat base stripped and now I'm trying to get the plastic air bag cover/trim off the side of the seat back....but I'm struggling. I can...

Sorry about the swearing in the title... Just wondered if anyone could offer any advise on this. Basically, my nephew was stuck in a bit of a rut at work. He was a machine driver, looking to go self employed, but had no capital. He also lives with me, and is a hard working lad. I lent him some...

Very surprised to receive this info from my insurer outlining problems with Fiats and Fords in Essex. Sounds like a gang doing the rounds. Over the past 2 months we have seen an increase in thefts of Fiat Motorhomes due to technology available to purchase online, which overrides the...
