    Hazards flashing and running battery flat

    Oh well, needs further investigation. Did the hazard switch yesterday morning, and they’re back on tonight with a drained battery. I don’t have the tools to get the BCM out of its holder, so will have to admit defeat and stick it in to my local garage. I’ll get them to fix the drainage issue at...

    Hazards flashing and running battery flat

    Got the glovebox out no problem with the T20 Torx (in case anybody was wondering) 5 screws in total, however before I took it out I noticed that the glovebox light was on with the lid closed. Couple of sticky pads on inside of lid and that's rectified. Zero evidence of any water ingress around...

    Hazards flashing and running battery flat

    What size of Torx driver am I needing? Only got the basics at home here, all my tools are at my parents 10 miles away and we can’t really call it this an essential journey to go and get them. If I knew the size then I’d get my neighbour to drop one off when he gets home from the garage he works at

    Hazards flashing and running battery flat

    I’m currently having a similar issue, and it’s doing my nut in. It started around 6 weeks ago, we were out doing the NHS clap and I noticed that the hazards were on. Weird, thought I. Switched them off and thought no more of it. Went to go to the supermarket next morning, and the car was dead...

    Spent 30+ years there and my folks still stay there. Indeed some bits are shite, but some are also great and it will always be my hometown.

    That’s a nice bit of the world up there! I visit a lot of the garages up there through my work, some great characters. A trip round the NC500 is long overdue as well. Not seen many 197 or 200’s around the North of Scotland.

Isofix for the kid's seat and room for four adults when required. It replaced an Alfa Romeo GTV 3.2, which had similar performance and fuel economy but was a...

    Rear drivers side footwell flooded

    Thanks for that, I'll give this an attempt today. Got the car in the summer, an Albi Blue 200. It's my first RS, so wasn't really sure what to expect. So far I've had to put in a new battery, 4 wheels all powder coated, new wipers, 2 front springs, new drivers side hub assembly, rear brake...

    Rear drivers side footwell flooded

    Hey folks, I’ve got a bit of a problem with water in the footwell behind the drivers seat. Car has the pan roof. It’s only on that side. 1st thoughts were roof drainage or air con drain. Gets a fair bit of condensation on these colder mornings. Any ideas, or am I on the right track? I’m...
