Gear linkage?

PM me a price posted for the gear linkage please (if its rod type) Thanks Daryl

Hi. im after a 1.4 rod type gear linkage that bolts onto the gearbox. Thanks Daryl

Drivers side window cable has snapped. Wheres best to get one from? Thanks Daryl

Yeah it was the stat sticking shut.

Nope no oil in the coolant. Before i took the head off i took the plug off the coil pack and took the top expansion tank hose off and cranked it and she was pushing out exhaust fumes.

Well i was right about that whipped the head off and could see it had gone between 1+2 and 3+4 Might get some photos up later Daryl

Started to have a few problems with the girlfriends lupo. Its a 1.4 E AHW. The car over heated the other day due to the fan not kicking in. So i replaced the water pump as it had the plastic one which was nearly seized. Also put a new stat in as that fell apart when i took it out. Now its all back together Ive got lumpy idle, Top hose hot bottom cold, All water hoses are really hard to touch until you take the expansion tank cap off and nearly blows your hand off even when you leave the car for a few hours. I'm thinking the pressure could be down to head gasket putting exhaust gasses into water system due to the over heating? Bottom hose still being cold due to new stat not working or blocked radiator? Idle lumpy - sensor by the thermostat, dirty throttle. other than that it drives fine and the fan kicks in. Would be great if anyone has any other suggestions Thanks Daryl

Should note that I'm not 100% that they are there but they will be around there where the door shuts.its like a black button. Hope that helps. Daryl

Door switches micro switches probably another name for them. If you open the door look where the door hinges to the car and its there. Should not cost much at all.

Alarm,interior light,light buzzer not working. All sounds like the door switches to me.

Do you still have the rear bumper? If you do could you drop me a pm with a price please. Thanks Daryl

Just seen this have a read Gearbox sensor Daryl

Took my girlfriends lupo for mot yesterday and it did this a few times. My guess its a faulty cable or sensor. Daryl
