Hello again. Bother with D90 ahoy. 😁 I've been having a bit mess about with it cos I'm sick of looking at it sitting half built. I've sorted the steering issue by putting the steering rod? into the next hole down on the servo arm. My problem now is reverse movement. If you hold it in the air it will go in both directions, but on the floor it will only go forwards. I've messed about with trim settings to no avail. Has anybody had this problem, and if so how did you sort it? Thanking you in advance. 😃 I’m guessing it’s not a ‘brake’ feature that requires you to pull the trigger once to ‘brake’ and then back to the neutral position and then a second pull for reverse? Otherwise sounds like a potential axle binding issue, worth removing a shaft at a time from the motor and try it, see if it makes a difference.

So next question. If the CAT was removed (it has been) and you had a straight through pipe (or at a push a small silencer en-route) and a Cherry Bomb at the rear……. Just how noisy would that be for the MOT guy ? Or the general public. Think anti-social thug but not quite getting stoned by the village. Make sense ?’ You want at least 2 cherry bomb type silencers if you don’t want too antisocial. A biggish straight through as a centre silencer with a cherry bomb out the back will produce a nice noise. Losing the cat will create a lot of additional noise as it’s a flow-slower immediately after the engine so with just one cherry bomb it’ll be loud.

Your photo links have died as they were from Facebook BTW. I suggest using the forum uploader.

IIRC side repeaters weren't actually mandatory from 1986, as long as the front indicators could be seen from the side as well. Yup, case in point, VW T25 and T4. Also a lot of import JDM cars had a nub on the front turn signal lamp. But most MOT testers don't actually know the rules which is why my brothers Demio had a set of gash LED side repeaters stuck to the wings over holes drilled in the repeater-less wings. Suffice to say now it's blue not white it no longer has side repeaters.

They're an easy job in the car, piece of cake on the bench. One does wonder why the car was left to rot away when the mot work wasn't too bad. people get scared off with emissions failures I think a lot of the time especially on older stuff.

If you are taking the engine out of a car to fit into another one, I assume this is for the Resin Rocket, then it’s a no brainer to just fit a new cambelt, tensioners, valve cover gasket and water pump while it’s ‘on the floor’, total no brainer.

Staying. It doesn’t bother me, it’s useful, and short of removing it there isn’t really anything you could do to improve it. Shorter arm or blade will just look more odd, like it’s got the wrong parts fitted. I don’t really see it. I certainly don’t subscribe to this ‘kill all wipers’ stuff on older cars. It starts to look a bit devoid of features and also poverty spec. 😆 Can you lay it flat like I've done to every mk2 Golf I've ever had? Not without making a new park wheel for the motor. The Mk2 golf is pretty unique in having a wiper linkage with bell crank, most cars rear wiper sweep is set with the park wheel.

Any suggestions to speed up entry? Because I can’t sadly think of one. The venue is where is is and access is just that. We can’t really alter that. Sorry to hear it put you off coming though.

Lovely car, but I hate to break it to you, 'Transmission Service Required' is a fault indicator. Can't be serious if the car drives well though. Possibly related to the MIL being on maybe? GLWS.

Often cars will have for sale signs in. Best to keep a keen eye and see what’s about.

Top. I had seen the ‘news’ on Facebook so had come here to see if you’d announced here.

Peugeot 106 cooling issueRich

One sensor is for the ECM, likely the ‘top’ one and the lower one will be for the over temp light. The fan will be ECM controlled. Easiest way to test is bridge pin 30 and 87 in the fan relay and the fan should run. If it doesn’t, pin 30 should have 12V at it, if that isn’t present, check fuses and wiring. If it is, dead fans (not uncommon on PSA cars). It’s highly unlikely the fault is in the relay driver circuit, but usually when the engine reaches temperature the ECM will ground the relay, rather that supply, to switch it on.

As far as I know it’s going ahead but can HoTWire confirm we have ‘safety clearance’?
