illiance

would anyone be able to post a picture of exactly where the ISV is so I can take a look at mine, my idle is off at the moment

Although other parts of my car have broken I had always thought the engine to be strong until the other day. I hadn't driven my car for about 5 days and when I did it wouldn't idle properly. It still drives fine but when the revs start to drop below 2000 it starts to judder. I was just about to sell my car and this is going to be a big problem, does anyone have any ideas? Could it be the inlet manifold as one person advised?

cheers, yeah I will have a look into it, I have to sort out my clifford alarm now, its a nightmare, some how its managed to reset itself and won't lock the doors

ha cheers mate, yeah I was happy to have learnt and saved! Next up, new disks and pads !dodge

Bought my new radiator today and fitted it myself, this is probably nothing to most of you but its the first time I have done something worthwhile on a car, saved myself a bit of £££ too

wish I was, sadly i'm all the way down in Devon, I found a genuine one for £75 and think I will have a go at fitting it myself, surely it can't be too hard?! :?

cheers, yeah I will give a few people a call, is it something I should be able to fit in an afternoon?

i take it thats not fitted then, damn, thought it may have been cheaper !sad

how much should i be paying for a new radiator? anyone have rough prices

once you have got to it, how easy is it to actually remove and replace the radiator, is there anything I need to watch out for?

ingham, did you have yours done at a local or national radiator place?

now that my starting problems are sorted (new battery was all it needed ) I need to sort the radiator out. I was quoted

thanks, I will try to check the battery tomorrow, the car did have a sub and an amp in which may have killed the battery so that it does not hold its charge, I will look into these things. Just out of interest, where is the coil pack?

I have had my vr since August and up until the start of November it has been starting fine. Since then however i have had to boost/jump it everyday, I have charged the battery (which is only 10 months old) on numerous occasions and yet it still seems to be drained the next day. Is the problem likely to be the battery or alternator? The batttery has a small hole which changes colour when it needs charging or replacing, it is however saying that there is no problem as it is showing green as opposed to white (white = needing replacement) If anyone could give me any help it would be great, thanks,

me and my car are going through some annoyances, they are however fairly small problems which seem to cause maximum annoyance. For example, the boot catch is broken, the drivers seat doesn't recline and the engine has a small leak, needless to say I have thrown a few expletives at it
