The brake discs get a rusty rim on the outside edge where the original pads did not make contact, if the new pads (especially if aftermarket and slightly different width) are sitting on this then the brakes will not work well and feel spongy. Can either grind the rusty rim off or it is quite...

Sounds like it is the same fan as used on the VW Golf MK4, it is common for the slow speed to fail - there is some good information here : uk-mkivs forum (old page cached)- fan failure info uk-mkivs forum (current page) - fan failure

I had to replace the caliper seals on my previous 12 year old Nissan Bluebird. Was not too bad to do. Due to the age I could not justify a new caliper. The only problems I had were a small area of corrosion on the piston which sanded off (should not be a problem on a 99 car) and took ages to...

I have managed to sort out my leaking door problem with help from info on the forum, so decided to do a DIY guide : Water leak into footwell - dodgy seal info and DIY repair guide

The oversized drain plug I ordered came last week. From the website in the post above - is from Canada not USA, only took a week to arrive. Measured the thread diameter : original is 14.0mm, oversize one is about 14.5mm. After wiping the oil sump pan thread to remove loose aluminium it went...

Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately it is not still under warranty. I checked it again and doesn't appear to be cracked, but is still slightly leaking. Couldn't find anywhere that sells helicoils separately, only in large kits. The american website with the oversize drain plugs...

A few months ago the oil sump pan on my Toledo hit a lump in the road. Suffered a few scrapes (not too bad) but a small amount of oil was leaking from the drain plug. So I tightened it and stripped the threads on the sump, it is currently not leaking and holding in OK. It is now due for an oil...
