Aerial cable.
Ok so as im running out of things to do on the furby lol not trying to temp fate but thought i would look into something that has been niggling me. When I had the new stereo fitted I was told the aerial needed a new cable fitting and that was why I was not able to receive radio on my stereo so im asking if anyone has any knowledge of this and how to do it as I do miss listening to the radio for a change whilst driving ???

I had this issue on mine and I resolved it by changing the fluid and bleeding the clutch its a quick easy job so might be worth a shot.

Handbrake issues
Hi all so despite changing my rear shoes and the servos earlier this year plus the associated springs and such I,m struggling to set the handbrake correctly. Normal braking is fine but despite following the guides to set handbrake wheels jocked up off ground and setting at click 1 until wheels are just binding its not working correctly. When I try to go for 4 or 5 clicks ends up with one wheel loose and other binding and on steep hills having to pull it up to like 7 or 8 clicks to hold the car. I,m thinking the cables are stretched tbh would you agree and if so is it an easy job changing the cables ???

I used the topran one it's correct as the other guys are saying are you having any issues with the car over heating or anything like that if not then it seems you have no issue for us to give you advice on if the car is working correctly and you have no mil light or warning lights then your car is fine your looking for issues you don't have.
