Hi Beckie, did you get the shaking sorted?

If any of your mates can recommend a good mechanic they could fit them, and get them gassed up later. If yours isn't the stow n go I think the pipes are less complicated!

Hiya pal! Yes I had mine fixed last year - the same job exactly. I found one guy at a breakers who had them, for £90, and the courier destroyed them on the way to me, didn't actually bother dropping them off, left a card and returned to sender, in half. Contact the spares guys at Pentagon Barnsley,not all that far from you I guess, for a very important collection! I got the set of pipes from them. 01226 323050 They emailed me the parts picure to confirm it was what we needed, extremely helpful guys. All 4 - Air Con and heater - from rear to drivers foot area, were £165!! Had to order in but they only took 3 days. For the Stow n Go 2005 The part number is K05189882AA, and rather strangely it's called a "cable harness". That info is from the parts sticker from the pipes - so no doubts. They are rather long, and very awkward to fit. the front nuts were a bugger to undo, my AC guy couldn't do it, in a garage with all the tools, so I used the heating engineer method and very carefully cut the nut at each side and split it, only aluminium. Took me half an hour under the car on the floor. So don't believe them if "it can't be done". The problem with blanking any refrigerant pipes off is the danger of the oil collecting at that point and then not lubricating the compressor. Hope they can help you out steviec2000!

Try "T4W", from the handbook for both of mine.

Not as simple as you'd have thought!! The ones on the wing, I think - take a w5w "pea" bulb, but as some books give the wrong bulbs for fog lights (have some spares to prove that) I would take one out to be sure on your car, Cheers Nev

Good one pal - a whole lot safer hee hee! And now we all have the info too, thank you!

Not on mine fella. The lock position being all the way towards you (away from start) then one back

Yes Thats how it works, taken from the owners manual I don't use it, like them to go off and not drain the battery any more than needed If you want them on presumably it would be dark so they would already be on when you park up, so all it is, is turn the car off THEN turn the lights off, simples

In this order - engine on headlights on turn off engine and key out WITHIN 45 SECONDS - turn lights off - the delay time starts now turning engine or lights back on cancels the functions Hope it works for you - let us know!

ha ha my apologies for the almost sexist comment!!! My Mrs had a good laugh at that too! Could well indeed be the fitting, ours was REALLY awful, not a bit but shaking a good inch each way. Lets hope it's that simple! Ours can be tight to get out of park on hills, with a loud thunk when it does. Have to tried sitting with the ignition on, but not running, and listen for a small click type noise as you put your foot on the brake pedal? It should, this is the mechanical release so the gear lever can move. gordy will probably be on the right lines with the diesel fuel filter I reckon.

Not my area as mines petrol - but check other threads for the fuel filter housing problem that the diesels have. On the shaking steering, we have non standard alloys, with a "spacer" ring to centralise them for fitting. And when garages, or even a tyre place from my personal experience, just wallop the wheels on and airgun them up they may not be centred correctly. Because mine shook its flaming head off after a puncture repair!!! So I refitted it myself, slowly and centred it up with the wheel nuts, lo and behold it's fine. Or has it been kerbed, and bent something? Has the Mrs not admitted it......Mine did, because she damaged the ruddy tyres!!!!! Due for change very soon anyway thankfully. The reverse problem - if that's when coming out of park, can you hear the clunk release when you put your foot on the brake? If not it might just be a brake switch problem.

Yep! That's all I did on my 02 Ltd, and what a difference, sounded like it needed major suspension surgery before! But I fitted my mechanics boiler at home. So we have a very straight relationship when I take him stuff I can't or don't have time to do.

Mine looks jolly much the same as that, (05 car) as well as you can tell from a photo!

Ebay for mine on an 02 a couple of years ago, about £10 if I remember right. Or does it do it at stand still when turning the steering wheel slightly one way to the other, in which case strut top mounts. Got a fully assembled pair from Germany for £240.00 You guessed it, ruddy ebay.

Nope. Mine are taupe in one car LX 02, very light brown in my second LTd 02, and grey in another XS 05. Sorry, Nev

Hiya newbie, Well done, I'd imagine no one knew for sure which is why we've not jumped in and made irrrelavent guesses. My wild stab in the dark would have been yes, the differnece being the panel behind the door giving the extra length of the Grand version. Go on then, enlighten us please?! Cheers Nev

Hey gordy, where is this wire that goes to a module / earth please pal?

Don't forget it drives fine, so it does know what gear it's in hey fellas. And reading it, not all lights on all the time. Unlike mine! Which has only got 2nd gear forward. And P, N, and reverse.

Hiya, as I didn't need it, (but was willing to risk under 8 quid to help and find out, it will be good for a spare case if nothing else!) I haven't spent the money to do it - I wasn't that interested - yet!!

Hi mate, just sent you a message regarding some pics I had.

Hiya Mikes22 I will try to take a photo under mine, I think mine are simply bolted through the bumper. The back ones are for sure.

Hi Berkswolf, if your 65 plate is correct I'd take it back under warranty mate.
