Whats the red light on the dash at the bottom next to the petrol guage? It looks like a fan in a box? Just wondering as I haven't got the Haynes to hand @ work and it came on for the first time ever on the way here today?

 

um - good question

bottom row - from left to right is :-

brake pad sensors
washer bottle level
oil level
????? (could be low coolant level)
fuel level

 

Er may need to sort for Sat then if that is the case!

Anyone confirm or deny this?

 

it will only be a sensor - you could have low coolant ??

dont worry - most of my lights are on ... - take the bulbs out

 

Thats what I mean, need to check the coolant if it's going to the redline on the rr on Saturday. I hope she survives......

 

cant remember what mk tarts (clare's) went up to,when she had her motor on the rollers - nice sound

do a little what level check tonight - see what happens

 

Yep bufty's right it's the coolant level low light, lift the bonnet and check ALL levels before the weekend to be safe, did mine today

 

blimey - some one giving a bufty a

thanks pete

did mine at the weekend - fresh everything

 

Yep Buffty is right coolent low or sensor is Pete Tong

 

thats not pete's surname !!!!!!!!!!!

dam warning lights

 

HO fooking HO

 

no its screwdriver

 

My one of them comes on when its a hot day and ive been driving for a while - mainly does it on motorways, really bizarre cos rest of the time its fine.

My dodgy oil sensor light is no longer dodgy either - it just doesn't come on at all now

 

Think you need your levels checked claire and i know just the man

 

My dipstick light is fooked cos the wires have snapped off the stick

 

my brake one is on all the time
the washer one comes on - off - the on
the oil one does what it likes
and the fuel one comes on,when i go round a corner hard & i have half a tank of petrol

take all the bulb's out time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Mine all works fine

 

Martin - that would do it! lol

Pete - Nowt wrong with my levels, they get checked every weekend cos im not a ditsy blonde bird y'know - honest!

 

Sure your not

 

no one ever said that - did they clare

trust pete's to all work !!!!

you running yours then clare ??? - on saturday ....

 

But doe's it get a regular greasing ?????

LOL

(edited because im an arse)

 

Looking doubtful Paul, sorry.

Im happy to help you with getting eveyones details down on paper and recording theirs read outs etc..... if you want?

 

thats okay - you been though it once this year - that was enough ??

thanks - will be a big help - cheers

 

Come on Claire once a year is never enough

 

what you thinking about then pete !!!

poor clare's face - that poor car - that was enough for any body ??

 

No worries just as long as she's there to bring some class to the event

 

class to the event - kick your arse more like !!!

she will be bringing her nice car - the one she's not going to get rid off - are you now ???

 

Nothing smutty to type

 

Im not a part timer like some I can mention *cough* my car has to get me to work and home everyday at the moment so I cant afford for her to go bang, she's not running particularly well at the moment anyway - hopefully it's just the idle speed that needs adjusting.

 

she's meaning me - me famous now !!!!!!

the rst get's driven with care - the rsi get's thrashed to hell and back

good car - never lets you down clare - nice one.............

see if you can make 200 post's tonight ??

 

The timing still out on this site and it's a pain in the arris, paul there's only one person going to get a kick in the arse and it's you

 

It just needs TLC and some one that knows the RSI querks

 

martins gold fingers

pete - just bring it on !!!!

clare - keep these 2 under control will you

 

Aye the midas touch or is that the latex glove and a hammer

 

The RSI what. oh thats Paul no worries shit sorry it says Querks not ??????

 

Its actually really pissing me off at the moment, the small patch of rust that had started to bubble on the botton corner of the passenger door I recently noticed has actually eaten thru the metal from the inside and made a mess of the inside bottom corner. Doubt it can be welded so prob needs a new door

Need drivers wing re-spraying and the re-occuring bubbles of rust cutting out and plating. And to top that off the passenger wing paint has gone flat even after polishing.

As much as it breaks my heart to say it I really do think she'll be up for sale early next year once ive sorted the bits of rust out.

 

just look at my banger - for rust !!! - you'll see what a rough one looks like then

cant you keep it as a 2nd car - you'll miss out on all this fun ??

 

door wing and a respray job done cant see that beeing a problem

 

NO

 

Possibly i guess but without a garage i'll find it difficult to keep it insured without taking out a full policy and it'll be difficult to keep the body work tidy if she's standing for the majority of the time.

Anyone wanna lend me an extra £50k so I can afford a house round here with a garage?! lol
