Think i have a big problem

[Captain Jack]

Well i know i mentioned the grating noise the other day, but have discovered today, that if the car is turned off completely (no key in ignition)

The car will still go into gear even if im nowhere near the clutch!

This isn't normal!!!!!!

If the engine is running, its as it should be, depress clutch, select gear, no slipping etc..................i don't think the clutch is dis-engaging correctly

[dressur]

Same with mine - I've never considered it a problem!

I'm confused!

If the car is switched off then you wouldn't need to depress the clutch to get any car into gear (assuming the gears are lined up).

[Captain Jack]

yeah, went and tried the other cars and you are correct, clearly im gettin' to drive some shoddy cars for work trips.

Glad youwerent the olny one confused!!!! i was scratching my head at the first 2 posts!! Of course its going to go in gear with no clutch with engine off!!

Yeah im putting that down to spending TOO much time, sheltered in the garage!

its all that stripping it apart you're worried you've broken something!!

[Captain Jack]

Your probably right!

Its like a giant mechano set, i take it apart, rebuild it, strip it down again, add more bits, and so on.........

yes well i did the first stage of lots of lights at weekend.

Changed a full set of front lights, Headlight, sidelight and full bean all brighter white / xenon.

Actually Stew i have a spare set of Blue-White sidelights if you still need to do yours!

[Captain Jack]

i still need to do this myself, how much of a difference do they make? noticable?

(prob should move this thread)

No well ive almost finished the interior bulbs, but shattered the bulb for the clock when i went to put it in! GENIUS! Still need to do the instrument face, but need to find a spanner so i can disconnect the negative battery terminal

excellent!! mine are hopefully going blue at end of August!! you'll have to PM me what bulbs you needed for what!

Well my sidelights are only 2 small bulbs but there were very yellow and now look very very good

as for headlights and full beam i took it out tonight and they do look much better!!

I also have some plans for more lights since i found my old switch kits at weekend and i've had some pretty cool ideas!!

[Captain Jack]

i shall do mate, should mostly be the same as mine i should think, although buy some tippex too! cos the backing for the heater/fans/and temp is black and even though my bulbs are in, there quite difficult to see so gonna try and reflect some more light outwards.

Its also suprisingly easy, but makes a HUGE difference to the way it looks.

Switches? i feel a plan coming on!

Send in the A-Team!

Yes, Stew's got a moody blues interior 'vibe' going on in there

[Dark Knight]

Yes im hoping for something very bright myself!! hope i'll get tme to do it!!

[Captain Jack]
