  1. All good work! Bar the K&N . . Is it oiled or dry? In my experience the oiled ones burn out the hot wire airflow meters
  2. Try multiecuscan themselves, I think that is where I bought mine, as a package wit a software dvd. But I am old and forget many things !!!
  3. Is it a pre-2012 Delta? It's possible that the inputs may be in the panel inside and above the glovebox under a plain black cover
  4. Is it not part of the unit next to the cigarette lighter????? You should be able to plug in to the input that is with the usb port
  5. The modern era mudflaps are known as Spats, just useful for keeping light muck and dirt off sills and so forth
  6. I would try and find the Fiat Bravo or Alfa Giulieta mudflaps, although many manufacturers don't do custom fit mudflaps anymore, due to their interfering with drag co-efficiency and subsequent fuel consumption and higher emissions and consequent carbon dioxide emissions and charges
  7. Same thing really, after the 20 minutes I like to join the positive and negative leads together with a single jump-lead, just to ensure full discharge of any errant capacitor!
  8. If I remember correctly, someone here suggested using a 3mm flat end Allen key to unclip the airbag retaining spring? Well it was good advice and has saved me a lot of grief !!!!
  9. I was applying Mikeys logic, to something that exists elsewhere is all
  10. My web forum (www.icci.ie) is locked to members only, you can go there but can't view or post until you apply for membership. Then, You have to have a minimum post count of 25 before you can post in the buy and sell section, unless by arrangement with the owners, who have the discretion to allow a member with less than 25 posts, to post something for sale that may benefit the general membership (garage clearances of Italian cars or parts)
  11. Possibly in the worst case scenario, it may be enough to remove the rocker cover
  12. The 1st thing to do is to get a new capThen drill a 3mm hole into the cap and use a long self-tapper to lock the whole assembly together and unscrew Remember the 1st thing a mechanic apprentice is thought, Leftie loosie and rightie tightie :-D P.S. don't worry about small bits of you plastic getting into the engine, as it will get ground up and will finish in the oil filter eventually
  13. Crossthreading is natures Loctite ;-)
  14. Like graduating from cocaine to LSD !
  15. Delta wheel pcd is the same as all Fiat, 4x98 If you need a spare wheel, then a 07-on Fiat Bravo wheel will do
  16. In short, yes! To be fair, you're comparing a goat to a cheetah and I mean no disrespect by the comparison With the integrale, you're so involved as a driver, especially through the wet twisty greasy roads of Ireland, the information that the car gives back to you is staggering, if you drive over a crisp packet, it tells you that it was cheese and onion rather than salt and vinegar :-D
  17. The Evo were the complete fast Delta, great roadholding, decent brakes and lighting and the sound, even from the standard single exit exhaust, was intoxicating! That said, the 8v kat that I own is for me, the ultimate of the integrale, benefitting from the 16v suspension setup and the cleaner response of the 8v engine and far superior mpg from the lesser highly tuning
  18. I have 1 of the old Deltas And I can confirm that the modern Delta, while not as ultimately fast or as surefooted at speed, is as good a real world car as the original Delta (probably better, to be honest!)
  19. Having had the chance to look at my wife's Delta There's a possibility that the wiring that goes into the hatchback may fray and break, worth looking at too
  20. The stop start on my wife's Delta (a 12 plate) has never worked, I (or she) have never been bothered, after a recent service, I used multiecuscan software to reset the service due milage, and had a bit of a root around, to discover that the system was set to 'logistic' (Which is for transport and delivery) rather than 'normal' (Which is self explanatory) The stop start is now working perfectly and reliably
  21. There's another possibility, that there's a wiring fault behind the bumper? My recent experience with my wife's Delta day running lights would suggest that the fuses would not be in the fuse box. Are the parking lights working?
  22. It's 1 of 3 things, a master cylinder, a clutch slave cylinder or the pressure plate spring has hardened due to overheating or slippage. The master cylinder is about an hour and a half to do, the slave cylinder is concentric and requires the gearbox out, at which point the clutch itself can be examined
  23. Welcome along! The 1st thing to do is to check all tyre pressures and set to the correct pressure Next have the cars 4 wheel alignment checked If the problem persists, then try swapping the wheels around, front to rear
