  1. I'm hoping its just the change in my driving habits. Reckon it's time for a petrol felly.
  2. Hi. I have a diesel felly. I would usually get 400 miles to a full tank. My daily commute changed last summer and I am now doing a 4 mile stop start run twice a day. Since October I have noticed I am getting between 340 and 370 miles from a full tank. I changed the filters and oil around 1000 miles ago. Any idea what would cause poor economy or is it this normal for winter town driving?
  3. It is a primer coat for two pack paint and should need another primer coat suitable for spray paint if being rattle can sprayed. This is what I was told when I ordered a replacement wing.
  4. I had the same problem with my diesel felly. I replaced the battery and it has been fine ever since. I would suggest getting the battery tested,as if it is donw on power, it wont have enough to crank the engine hard enough without the help of the glow plugs.
  5. I looked in the haynes manual and it looked to be a 5 spanner job involving removing the strut brace. Im more of a 2 to 3 spanner kind of guy, and could not get the strut brace to budge last time I tried. After reading up on here I figured out how to get to the necessary parts via the intake. Might not be a premanent fix, but it seems to working better than ever (for now) and if it fails again, its pretty easy to try again. Just needs to see me through the winter.
  6. Hi all Finally got around to fixing this. Pop bonnet open. Remove the foam seal around the grill under the windscreen. Pull out plastic mesh panel. Just enough room to reach inside and turn the fans by hand. Rotated the fans back and forth for a minute or two. Put everything back together. Turn ignition to position 1 and hey presto.... force 12 huuricane through the vents. Took 10 minutes of working blind.
  7. It's the fan motor. I get hot air through the vents if I am moving, but the fan doesn't run until the car has been running for a few minutes. It only happens when the weather is cold and is much worse when it is cold and wet.
  8. Hi. I have an R reg felicia diesel. Whenever the temperature drops, the fan heater takes an age to get started. After all the rain we have had recently, it doesnt seem to come on at all. I have checked the fuses, and there is nothing wrong there. What could the cause of the problem be, and how could I fix it?
