    2005 chevvy matiz rocker to air box breather pipe

    Hi guys, My better half has a 1.0 matiz. I noticed the rocker to air box breather pipe has snapped at the t-junction and the small pipe is badly cracked. I've found a couple of part numbers but google hasn't revealed anything. Anyone have any ideas? If I could find out the size vac pipe I...

    Air con potential issue

    That's one of the reasons I got rid of it, the £500 estimate didn't sit very well.

    Road top surface being removed on loads on roads in Essex, why?

    Just wait for a scorching hot few days (unlikely I know) where it starts to melt :rolleyes:

    Air con potential issue

    Have a quick look at the condenser, especially the lower part that is more exposed than the rest. Mine did that, one day it was fine then came to use it and nothing, revs dipped and rose when I turned it on/off. Had a golf ball sized hole at the bottom of the condenser. SP

    Over-engineering / "Surprise and delight" in your car

    Finally someone who understands! It's not some sort of Masonic sign we do, we open the boot 1/4 to let the water drain off then open it fully. Ford screwed up on that one!

    Running cable into car

    It can vary from make to make but normally towards the back of the engine, around the bellhousing, looking for one or two little pipes. Also check cabin filter housing in case the seals have gone.

    Air con bombs

    Does sound like this. You'll probably find the seal around the filter box is perishing. Completely agree. Most the cars I've had have been a ball ache to change, my previous one was under the glove box but you virtually had to do a head stand to see what you were doing, then the chiropractor...

    Probable Not So Happy Turbot - Saab 9-3

    It could do, the second video sounds more like a split boost pipe/air hose. check any history you have and see if the timing and aux belts and related tensioners have been replaced aswell as the waterpump. If not get them done.

    Roof racks

    I got the wingbars for mine, not through thule, for £144. Even on the motorway doing 70-80 (with nothing attached) you can't hear them, was very suprised. Also have the porride cycle carrier but haven't got around to using that yet.

    Ford Mondeo Ecoboost 1.6

    I test drove the 1.6 tdci econetic titanium x mondy estate this morning and couldn't help but feel it was underpowered, constantly changing gears and having to change down get get up a hill with ease. I can imagine when fully loaded with passengers and luggage it would be painfully slow. Holding...

    Crossfire 7950's Benchmark

    Out of interest I did mine http://www.3dmark.com/fs/5309647 completely standard. I did have a 3rd 7950 in up untill yesterday but been having driver issues for the last week, runs fine on a single card but keeps crashing in x-fire. I've gone back to 13.12 and all is stable again so I might put...

    7950CF upgrade time?

    I'm running tri-xfire 7950's and can relate to the heat issue, when all are running it resembles a turkish sauna (minus the half naked men of course) and can be a tad loud. Was thinking of the fury x but now I'm thinking 980ti. Going to wait a month or two, let the prices settle and see what the...

    Radeon 295x2 Issues

    I'm not sure about your case but mine (haf x) came with a gpu support bracket (currently holding 2 of 3 7950's). Those ards are huge and as you tried previously, supporting it did help. Personally I'd send the card back as sloshing and gurgling in a closed loop means there's air trapped. Good...

    Have you tried using a normal dvi cable on the second monitor? I've got one via hdmi and the second via dvi and no problems. Updated your graphics drivers? Could also be a faulty dvi port. mick

    Sapphire 7950 Dual-x fans

    Afternoon guys, I need your expert help on the above card. Bought it of a well known auction site on a wim to crossfire with my current 7950. Got it very cheap because one of the two fans is dead. Found replacements for them (Firstd FD7010H12S) but what I'm having problems in finding are the...
