How did you manage to open door?

Just looked at the girlfriends ibiza as the rear washer doesnt work. after some detective work i found that when you turn it on you get a strong jet of water from down the side of the wheel arch on the passenger side, by the ecu. ( its a 1.9tdi 05 plate) now without taking out the air filter...

Looks ok but still not on par with fords efforts. Oh and whats with the run of holes under the grill... Looks tacky and 80's stick on stuff!.

Cheers for that but its the actual lock cyliner i need to change. Had to get new locks and cant work out how ghe key barrel comes out.... Wont budge!

I have the plastic cover off but no idea how to remove the lock barrel? Anyone know? Its rather urgent!

Cant help on fitting part but an important thing to remember is that the shocks will have worn to the old spring settings and a suddenchange can causes premature failure. Personally i always say match the shocks to the springs for best results. You will want shocks with a shorter length. Also...

alot of these 'tuning boxes' simply mess with the fuel air ration etc and can cause alot of black smoke, rich running and other issues. My advice is to go downt he tuning avenue instead.... not to mention a decent air filter and exhaust to get the best out of what you have already!

Well that was a suprise..... Removed some extra wiring from under dash etc as takibg out led footwell lights - aftermarket, and other extra stuff. Finished off and locked car. Went bk to car as forgotten something and the door pin led was flashing!!!! Tried codibg the remote key and bingo it...

Thanks for that. The central locking works ok manually but is the remote sensor in the c.unit or else where?

I know this is an old thread now but forgot to post my solution! It turned out to be caused by a faulty battery!!!! Battery kept going flat if left for 3 days or so took it back to supplier who tested it and said that it was fault with 2 cells shorting out. Put in new battery and bingo.... not...

The quality of the tyre will have afar great effect on mpg.... Also a lower profile will have less rolling resistance and so also help increase mpg. There are some good tyre tech reviews out there on the net... worth a google! Im running 215 45 17

meant to add that in my experience ebay auctions dont always come up with the best results..... people want it as cheap as they can get it in an auction!

The problem now days is not what its worth.... its what people are prepared to pay. New car prices have tumbled in recent years and peoples disposable income has followed suit.... Lots of mods now means big insurance for most and so can put alot off. You can advertise it one day and get £3k and...

The best advice i can give is drive slower..... leave more room to stop unexpectedly and most of all buy the best tires you can afford! Oh and dont let them get too low as they just dont grip! I never lower my tire pressure as i have never seen any tyre maker or car maker say to do so! People...
