Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
Picked up a set of pro springs quite a while back for a billy bargain from eBay.
Not got round to fitting them yet but wondered if anyone else had and what their opinion was. I find the J has quite a bit of body roll (maybe I should slow down!) so wondered what difference this would make.
So i thought id show you guys how to change the glove box bulb for a nice w5w 501 smd bulb, i used one with 12 smds.
Items needed:
Blunt knife of plastic lever
New bulb
So this firstly, how the light switch works, when the pin is extended the light comes on, when the pin is pushed in, the light goes off.
The first step is to use a blunt table knife or other tool to lift down the light from the rear as shown below, when the back pops down you need to push the light backwards towards the front of the car and down at the same time.
This is how it will show when it drops down
After it has dropped down its just a case of unplugging the old yellow bulb and putting the new one in, when putting the light fitment back in, put the pin through the hole first then clip the light housing back in. The last picture shows how it looks after.
Been browsing this forum a couple of weeks now, so thought I'd better register and say hello. So, hello!
Must be the first time I have ever managed to use my name on a forum, without having to add numbers etc after it!
Not much to say, I'm a kilt wearing Scotsman in Dundee, working as a mechanic full time and driving instructor part time. I drive Astra 2.0cdti Elite, Micra diesel and Mazda MX-5 when the sun shines :cool
I have had this warning appear sporadically but then next time I get in its gone... its due a service soon so will get them to check it out but anyone else had this?
as there have been loads of reports
of the clutch peddle squeaking when you press it down
and this is a very simply fix
all you really need to fix this is
too add a good amount of grease
to the top of the clutch peddle
in the position marked in the picture
it is a real tight space so i strongly recommend applying the grease by hand
and working it in to the moving parts and the spring at the top of the peddle
just spaying wd40 on this will not cure it
and it will come back with out the use of grease
and you wont get it too go were you need it by spaying it up there blindly
it will need grease to work properly.
a real easy fix to a some what very annoying problem if you have it.
