Have any owners re-placed steering gaiters themselves, if so what sort of a job is it? any info on this would be appriciated as I am faced with this problem....
Hi all, I have a 12 month old A751 petrol Aixam that has ran fine from new but has developed a problem with the starting system. It can work fine for days but ...
In my spirit of neglect my fan belt looks like its on its last legs, looks crumbly and likely to fail very soon. Anyone know what belt to buy from a car shop?...
Of course it would have been better to look in the files section and read what belt it is which is clearly stated there... Gates auto master 6271LM 400mm long...
Y'welcome Jon, I just hope the reference is of some use - don't forget to report back with findings, car model numbers or anything else you come across, and I...
Heheh! Shouldn't be too much, it is fairly conventional and the belt feeds through the fan blades easy enough. I've found it easier to kneel in front of the...
Hi Gavin, ... Sadly, I've heard of this before, usually just before the wiring loom burns out! The problem is that the manufacturers are fitting smaller cables...
I have a slight but annoying slow leak in a tyre, which requires topping up
about once a week. Is adding a tube the only way to keep the air in? I
suspect the...
The slight annoying leak is telling you to replace the tyre as the side walls have perished. Adding a tube will not cure the cracking on the side walls. Often...
... I use the Yokohamas. No problems with clearance and much better grip in slippery conditions, plus slight improvement in ride. I can recommend them. -- John...
Cheers Jon and John :o) I have a few miles left in the present tyres as yet, my leaky one turned out to be an honest small puncture, now repaired. I asked an...
Hi KB, it can do, the old breather was for 0.7 litres of oil and the box should have 1.0 litres. The later breather is supposed to cope with it. I'm still...
Ok, we all know the little diesel is no Saturn 5 rocket up hills, but just
for info, I went up Chimney bank Rosedale Abbey this morning. 10 stone
driver,...
... Hey, I use that route quite often. So long as you've got good engine mounts and no sticking brakes it's no big deal. Try Hardknott pass in the Lake...
I'll get there one day John, thanks. We hope to be rallying at Ryedale Folk Museum next May if The Plan works, so will see the Chimney again then. With brakes...
oh its all hills down here in Cornwall!, some it fair bombs up others it just don't like and chugs up very slowly. I cant work out why though i just know some...
I have an old Mich as the spare, the unworn spare from the original set, i asked the tye guy about differing sizes and he said it was fine to get home....
... Exactly what I use. An unused original 145/60 tyre isn't that much smaller than a worn 145/65, perfectly adequate to get you home at Aixam speeds :-) -- ...
Hi all, I need some info about drive belt - brand, part number, etc. I got Aixam 500 SL Diesel, 2000 year, W reg. I couldn't find anything in local Bennett's...
Hi Tomapopov, my belt has only Aixam numbers on. I tried a local bearing and belt specialist yesterday and he could find no matches. It may be a special, but...
Well i did it, and it was very easy. Never done it before too. Old belt came off quite easy and looked crumbly, the new was a gates but not the solid one but...
