  1. ok I am with you...............I think u have open the plastic falp first yeah...?

    So use a pool perhaps a flat screwdriver on the end of the pool taped to it?

    I will try this tonight....effen boot.....Must be the Valet switch. never touch anything kids unless u know what it does....except females.

  2. I CONFIRIM;

    The bit that was squeeking in my car was the actual metal pin that goes through the clutch bracket. I sprayed it with WD40 and it is all cool now.

    You have to physically lay down on the floor of the car and so u can see the whole clutch bracket. The spray the clutch metal pin..its fairly large u cant miss it. Make sure u have a torch aswell and the red straw bit to direct the spray into the gap of the pin.

  3. 25th December 2006 @ 14.30

    Whilst cleanin the boot out i manage to play with a metal plate inside the boot lid. (not knowing it was the valet switch)

    19.30 Whilst travelling down Pitt St in Sydney I managed to get a samell metal fragment in my tyre. (resulting in a flat tyre)

    19.31 I realised the boot was not releasing from the boot leaver inside the cabin. No tension at all behind the leaver. Just free air when u pull it up.

    19.32 I decided to try the boor lock. It didnt work. The lock is broken. It keeps on making a ticking sound but nothing happens.

    19.32: 15 ...I start to swear.

    19.34 I try other methods...no good. So I baby it all the way back to Liverpool.

    21:00 got home in one piece.

    26/12/2006 @01:46 I read this thread and I will try the boot cable under the carpet 1st. So how I go tomorrow to get to the spare.

    Why is that Valwt switched linked to the leaver....or is that the safety feature of it or am I totally worng and it is only coincidence???

  4. when I am driving, no barake applied...there is a light squelling sound coming from the front right rotor. It sounds like metal touchin metal very lightly and disaapepears at high speeds. then comes back at low speeds. Not sure what it is.

    why does it do this for at varying speeds. Its a light noise but annoying. I had my discs machined a few months ago.

    But same barke pads in since 75,000...and the car has done now 136,000.

    any ideas?

  5. I found the problem in the blinker switch on the steering column. Once I opened the sterring column up and plastic covers off etc...I saw the swithc arcing out on the copper strips on the side of the blinker switch. I out a big blob of vaseline on the surrounding copper strips and I have never had the problem since. This was a 1 year ago now. It may seem its you relay but double check it in the blinker switch on the steering column 1st. Thanks

  6. Hey Guys,

    the plastic part of my upper radiator is cracked. I was wondering has anyone got any ideas on how to fix it.

    Like Sikaflex or something else?

    I got a price from Natrad in Granville NSW....they quoted me $418 for an new copper core one.

    Any ideas or alternatives?

    Thanks
