its the standard car, its not bad, its just a case that it now catches on large speed bumps and that. Oh right hadn't thought of that, I shall try rversing back onto drive to face the sun for a few days

I had a similar issue with mine, it wasn't dropping of rail or owt was just not closing as if it thought something was trapped, after looking on here found a small black clip had dislodged on the right hand side and just relocated this and jobs a good'en. hope this helps

the underside of my front bumper has got caught on the kerb and has been pulled down and now catches even more and scraps on speed bumps etc, I have noticed that this is a common occurrence on the Octavia, has anyone had this and been able to rectify it? cheers robert

Fitting a tow bar onto friends Hyundai Tucson and struggling to find anywhere giving colour codes for car wiring to attach tow bar electrics to for lighting any help would be appreciated. Robert

i know this is a fairly old post but dont suppose dog guard is still available is it, and if is would you be happy for me to arrange postage/courier

cheers i'll have a peek tomorrow

Don't suppose you would know if it is in the same place on a 2.0L engine as well thanks

Looking like need new temp sensor, is it definitely the green round one need forva 51 plate 2.0 lt petrol please, as seen on here the original black ones have been superseded, also looked in book and it says left hand end of cylinder head, is that as you look at engine from front or left hand side of car as in near side Many thanks

Cheers guys, a set of wishbones on the shopping list now

Nice one, I take it then should do both as a pair

Cool, that sounds far less complicated than the Haynes described it

I've got the bush ready to go in, just the job seemed a little to big of a job for me but may be able to do that, I take it I need to take whole arm off car to do then

Thanks everyone, think this one may be out of my remit so may need to seek garage assistance

If go down route of changing whole unit then is it best to change both as a pair or ok just to change left on its tod

thanks for the advice, what sort of press did you use, and did you replace it in situ or take the whole arm off ?

Car failed mot on front suspension rear bush, checked the haynes book and says I need a hydraulic press and spacers to remove and refit, has anyone done this job and if so do I need these items/kit. Any help would be appreciated Robert
