Hi,
I am the least mechanical person on this forum, however...
When I bought my TF the gear change wasn’t brilliant, so I did 2 cheap fixes which even if they don’t work fall into the category “it needed doing anyway”.

1. I changed the transmission oil, or rather the garage did at the same time as the MOT because I couldn’t loosen the filler plug.

2. And I did do this myself, I changed the two gear linkage bushes, underneath at the rear of the car.

Hope this helps

Bob

 

I’m after a used red tonneau cover, does anyone have one?
Alternatively, it’s fairly easy to get a used black one, is it possible to dye one red?

Hi everyone,
My 2002 TF has an advisory, “slight play in the near side wheel bearing”
I don’t think my DIY mechanical skills are up to replacing the bearings, however am I right in thinking a new hub can be fitted with the new bearing factory fitted?
Thanks

Good tip, thank you

thanks for your replies,
the consensus appears to be, don’t bother, invest in a good socket set, plenty of WD40 and perhaps go down the gym occasionally!

Hi everyone,
I need advice and suggestions on which impact wrench to buy.
I’m, like most people on this forum, a reluctant mechanic, so I don’t need a garage standard impact wrench as it’s only going to get occasional use.

Great tip.
I couldn’t release to top-up plug, so I’m glad I took your advice!

Hi Gavin,
Thank you so much, this is just what I needed... pictures!
