Rad666 asks>>>What does the clamp cover look like? AR replies>>Oblong is shape, they aren't a simple blind grommet - it looks like something clips into them. Tell me, am I presuming correctly that your roof holes are actually in the metal of the roof? And what shape are the holes? This...

There's something called a "Clamp Cover", quantity "as required" 90381780 fits estate and van on the roof rails. Can't see any blanking grommets for the roof.

>>I'm after the number for the plastic blanks that fit in the estate/van roof. ------------------------- What car and what year?

Paul - If you've changed the cambelt or disturbed/replaced the injection pump, you simply can't (as you write) "rotate the (pump) pulley over gently clockwise" and hope that the injection pump timing is correct. You may get lucky, but simply aligning the pulley/sprocket 'blip' with the mark...

Paul - I see why you are confused. When I use the word 'sprocket' I am referring to, what you call, the 'pulley'. Re-read what I've written but substitute my word 'sprocket' for 'pulley'!!

X17DTL camshaft locking tool. Using the tool (with dial gauge) that you mention, you can accurately time the camshaft - but, using that method, the camshaft is not locked in position. Instead, a better option for 'first timers' (pun intended) is to use the circular locking plate tool (see...

To 'dumdum 0910'>> From your description, you've obviously lost your cam timing. As 'Vauxhall Jim' says, there is a 'camshaft locating tool' available that bolts onto the vacuum pump end of the camshaft (once the vacuum pump has been removed - a simple job). The tool is a circular plate with a...

TDC of number one cylinder can be ascertained by one of three methods: (1) Screw a suitable device (eg 'whistle tool' or depth gauge pointer) into the vacant hole that housed number one injector. Or, (2) Bolt the aluminium pointer tool (made by Franklin, amongst others) onto the bell...

If your windscreen washer pump is the same as mine (1.7D LS 1995) then it works as follows: the spin of the pump motor is bidirectional dependent on which way you operate the column control stalk - the motor spins one way for front windscreen squirt, reverse way for rear windscreen squirt...

>>>Since changing the front pads, (and pushing on the calipers without releasing the bleed nipple) I think Ive knacked the MC<<< Hi, Jaye. I was in exactly the same predicament six months ago. To accommodate fitting new pads, I prised the caliper pistons home without freeing off the caliper...
