Following on from this I stripped the battery tray to gain access to the steering reservoir. Please see pic. NO RESERVOIR !!! I had asked numerous times online where the reservoir was for my year and model Rapid.The code shows 1N1 which indicates a hydraulic system is fitted but 1N3 is for Electronic Power steering. Although the EPS warning has flashed up once the Oil/fluid leak I have been trying to trace is presumably something else. Please give me your thoughts on this.Thanks, Graham 2014 RAPID SPACEBACK 1.2 VIN - <Removed> Please don't post VIN's publicly. This is to help prevent cloning and data theft. Briskoda Admin

Hi.Does anyone know of a diagram showing the power steering pipes on my 2014 1.2 Rapid Spaceback. I am trying to trace a fluid leak but am unable to definitely locate these pipes. Thanks. Graham

Hi Pete. Thanks for that. I havnt looked yet but will certainly take your advice and look there before I do anything else Will keep you posted on here as to what I find.

Good morning all. I have recently had the Steering amber warning come up on the dash. I also noticed in a place that I had parked a small drop of fluid on the ground. I assumed it was from another vehicle.I now suspect it is from the steering system .The reservoir is under the battery housing. If I disconnect and remove the battery will I lose all info already in the system. Also,if I am luck enough to find it is a hose leak has anyone changed one of these and if so any advice please. Many thanks in advance, Graham

Great.Thanks for your answer. Sorted

Yeah, Tried this and got to the 'Are you sure you want...........,' but havnt found out how to get on the 'OK' message which appears after I have entered 'Yes'

Thanks for that.I will give it a try.

I have just changed the oil and filter on my Rapid Spaceback 1.2 Petrol but cannot seem to reset the message 'Change engine oil' from the display.Any advice please.

Cannot shift the bearing now so totally stumped as to what I am going to do.Any ideas will be welcome

Thanks very much to you both for the info. I thought I would strip it down as waiting for DPD to deliver new hub assembly inc. nut. I have got it down to the bare hub as far as I can see. Removed caliper and hung on spring out of the way,removed brake sensor,obviously no hub nut, stone shield off. Should the hub assembly pull out now. Again,thanks very much again for your advice. Graham

Hi all. I recently noticed a front o/s wheel hub centre cap missing.I assumed it had been stolen so fitted a replacement. A while after I noticed a humming noise coming from the same side front. On removing the wheel I saw that there was no hub nut and the drive shaft had gone inwards so that it was flush with the hub. Can anyone please tell me : a/ What would have caused this to happen b/ If it will have damaged the gearbox c/Should I just fit a new nut or also fit a new bearing/hub assembly Thank you in advance for any replies Graham

I did buy a pair of springs so if ever I feel like a workout finishing off with backache its on standby.Thanks anyway. 😅

Many thanks for all the advice you all gave me.It is really reassuring to know that there are people around with the knowledge to help others and are willing to pass on that advice. I uTubed it as a guide and everything went really well. The biggest problem I had was grinding the wall and the bevel on the mouth of the 32mm hub nut socket as I bought a standard one ☹️ and was well on the way with the job so too late to reassemble and change it. Apart from that the job was a complete success. Once again many thanks to you all. Graham 👍👍

Can anyone please guide me through the procedure for replacing front coil springs on my Rapid 2014.Are any special tools needed.Many thanks, Graham

Just a couple more things inspectorman. Do you have a diagram showing the position of the wheelhouse fixings and is the lens removable from the light assy. once the light has been removed.Again, thank you for all of your invaluable advice and help. Graham

Many thanks for this inspectorman. A complete explanation which is much more than I expected. More work than I hoped but at least I know exactly what I am doing. Thanks again. Graham

Hi all. Can anyone tell me what holds the bottom of the headlight . I have removed the top plate and the torx head screw down in the recess but I am still unable to remove the headlight. Thanks for any advice
