  1. Yesterday
  2. 124.2 euros a litre is cheap ? 110 pounds a litre wow. I can fill my tank for that ! A typo methinks
  3. Ok, that makes sense and is a bit of a relief. Hopefully a running test will clarify.
  4. Ah, the test is only valid with the engine running, cold or hot. So that the fluid is circulating through the torque converter, not sat at the bottom of the auto box.
  5. We're about to go on our first weekend away next week. We've got the Vango Galli CC II Air Low which can easily sleep 4. Can be used as a stand alone tent too as the side awning that attaches to the van can be rolled up and strapped to the side.
  6. Oh wow...so the Londis place under the arch no longer supplies petrol.....that's a pity
  7. >On the first cold reading you did, was the engine running? No, it had been cold for sometime - I think I used it the day before. I did the engine dip stick and then the transmission. hence my surprise at the level. If I get a chance tomorrow I will do another dip test and then take it for a drive and see what the reading is after that.
  8. Hi Paul! Yes, indeed, on the levels and limits! On the first cold reading you did, was the engine running? If not that will explain why it's so high!
  9. Hi Gordon! I really can't think why they are concerned about the job, it's not as difficult as it is on the later ones, just standard work, and I am not a professional mechanic! Shame you're a bit too far away, or I'd come and give you a hand to do the job yourself!
  10. Hi Andy, Our underseal was done by Victoria Vehicle Services (VVS): 07749 706746 or vvsphil@icloud.com.
  11. >The COLD level reads between 1 and 2 for min / max, and HOT is between 3 and 4 for min / max again. Wow - those are really tight limits and that is, indeed, a lot of expansion! I have done a 'cold' check already but the picture shoes the 'level' was above 4, so that would indicate that either the transmission is seriously over-filled, or the dip stick is picking up a lot of oil on it's journey into and out of the dip tube.
  12. Having a job finding a place to change trans. oil (Glasgow North) Recommended auto trans. specialist who said no! WTF. Local garage said yes, then not keen & recommended the specialist 🙄 What could be the issue apart from time needed to pump oil in?
  13. Collected parts today😊. Both types of fixings were £2.82 each plus VAT. Please note the end fixing (top right hand side) on my vehicle is a retainer bolt part no. 76931). To undo access from other side of door via a large circular black grommet.
  14. many thanks I will try online
  15. £363.24 for our 2002 2.4 AH10, paying monthly.
  16. Have you still got these fitted and how are they working out for you, any problems?
  17. Unfortunately I have 18s on mine but the oem 16" only for hybrids tyre rating is 750kg so I assume the minimum rating needed for the hybrid is 750kg a corner lighter wheels should be used with caution
