Hi and welcome from Mansfield. You got a good assistant in @Brian4. Every time I ask a question the same handful of peeps jump in with the answers. Brian is always in that handful. I love the comardory on this forum! Well done everyone!

Anyone no how to code my key to my 1997 1.9 16v new batteries in the key yet don't work

 

[Millhouse]

Well it's finally on the road past its mot will definitely need some bottom arms as the steering is very wooly and I'm pretty sure the gear stick could be tightnd up its seems very saggy is there any bushes that can be changed to stiffen it up

 

[GazHyde]

You have a choice of OEM quality replacement bushes, or you could go the PowerFlex Poly bush route. Personally for road use I've stuck with OEM quality and really don't want to make the ride too stiff.

I believe you can change out the bushes and you may glean some info from Mike Fishwick's article on the short shifter. HTH JIM

Sounds like a loose wire to the unit, gauge or ground wire. Hopefully you don't have to change out the in tank unit. I'd start with a tester at your gauge. JIM

 

[Millhouse]

Don't sound fun

I had the instrument panel out of my car on Saturday and stripped it down to its component parts to rectify an earlier cock up. I will post a how to if anyone is interested with lots of pictures. It will cover changing the gauge itself if you need it @Millhouse.

Tony.

 

[Millhouse]

Yea that's brill thank you

 

[oldcarman]

That will be great Tony, my temp gauge has stopped working. It would work before if I tapped the glass but no more. JIM

 

[Millhouse]

All my gauges work my fuel one worked then it went back to empty

 

[Millhouse]

Well it's been a few days and after using the fuel cleaner the gauge still don't work
Iv taken the fuses out and disconnected the battire after reconnecting the gauge moved to full but slowly moved back to empty arhhhhhhh
If you but your hand on the sender and turn the ignition on you can feel something move anyone no what it is one do I just buy a new sender ????
