Hey all, I finally paid off the finance on the car last week WOOHOO! and no sooner than I did that, A sqeek could be heard under the bonnet. It goes if the revs are over about 2300 but is just annoying when the car is ticking over. It doesn't do it straight away when I start the car though. And the air con is not on
The garage proved it was the Air-Con pump. This was what looked like a dynamo sort of looking thing on the left of the engine being run from a belt near the place where you top up the windscreen wash. The garage dude sprayed a little lube on what looked like the area where the bearings would go and the squeeking stopped. I found that these pumps can go for about £60 How long would it take a garage to change it?
My almera is a WJ05 model N16 Hatchback
The car has done about 68000miles
Another thing about Bulbs. Forgive my ignorance.
Is it right to assume anything over 55 watt is illegal?
Is it as easy to change the dips as it is the full beam lights?
Can you put Full beam type lights in the dip slots?
I have looked at Xenons but don't know what sort to buy for this model car?
How do you install those little side light bulbs you get with some xenon kits do you have to get extra kit?
Oh and is it worth putting in a set of those performance Spark plugs or is that just going to ruin my engine?
If you could recommend some links that would be great!
Thanks
