Re: FREE WHEELS & SEAT

if there is any way you can hold on to the wheels for a while, i'd happily take them. I'm in france but my dad stays in stoke and takes regular trips to see my gran in salisbury (no nerve agent attached) so i could possibly arrange for him to pick them up. Its a little bit out of his way, but i'm su...

Re: Load bearing on tintop roof.

Hi sorry i havent responded in a while. The type of roof tent is a fiberglass shell one, bit like an actual roof box. There are other lighter ones available but i like the ease of the fibreglass ones. :wink:

Re: Split rear seat.

Hi unfortunately you would have to remove the entire bench structure as the bottom has legs to the runners, on both sides of the bench, but isuppose you could take a chainsaw or a really sharp knive and cut it out, but you would still be left with the runner issue :roll: :lol:

Reason for asking is that I'm about to buy a hard shell roof tent and its quite expensive. Don't want to buy it then not be able to use it. I have used a roof box with about...

I have a 2.0 too and noticed in hot weather the cap likes to hiss when removed, it also seems to do it more, the less fuel there is. Its done this ever since i got it so i'm guessing its normal. Also i work on cars petrol and diesel and all the petrol ones seen to do the same so fingers crossed with...

Re: Blower only works on max

Yep i used to work dismantling vauxhalls back in scotland, the zafiras were bad when they went up. theworst part was you didn't even have to have the ignition on or running for them to go up, however i would still recomend a replacement. just to be on the safe side. :wink:
