PS ,Thinking of fitting a pump in the plenum to pump out to save the ******* about under car with curtain rod?what do you folks think!!

PM en-route.

As we only have a limited amount of **** available to us, please try not to trigger the swear filter

Forget the pump, just keep the drains clean, and there is no need to go under the car. There is plenty of information on the forums as to how to keep them clean and clear

My neighbour has a 2005 Rover 1.8. Bonnet stuck, he has released it and bonnet is now open. But he now has too much cable. Is thyere a MOD for taking up the slack.

Thanks Peter.

Short answer is No
What did he do stretch the cable that much or has he broken it?

Pics might help

hi there, my wife has just swapped her people carrier for an 53 plate ZT+120 saloon, the previous owner said the bonnet cable had snapped and that the cable was coiled up next to the wiper, and of course it doesn't work so could i please have the PM to so i can look under the bonnet and find out what lurks there, i think i'm gonna find this forum a godsend as we have a few issues with the car that i can see...no paperwork at all with it, so i need handbooks, guides and owners manauls all which i think i can find here.
We've got a torn drivers seat, soaking wet rear passenger footwell and a rear window covered in mastik round the window seal, thats for starters.
Cheers in advance
