Title: dash bulbs and other probs
Post by Whit2k on Aug 5^th, 2005, 7:58pm

got some probs on me motor :( ........ (firstly i havent searched the site b4 anyone shouts at me)

1. is the dash easy to get out to repalce warning bulbs because my abs light was on the other day ???... now its out but doesnt light at start up so am guessing it should be on but has a blown bulb ....

2. if the abs light is on where should i start lookin for faults.... yeah a million and one places i guess ::)

and 3. when braking i get a judder from the front sometimes quite erratic sometimes nothing ... would this be a tracking balance fault or a worn bush

just wonderin what the most common things are really b4 i get me wallet out and prolly me hands dirty

many thanks for all help and advice :)

< dash bulb seem easy enuff >

Are you sure ? spent two hours this afto getting the fascia off, what a job!

Them multi-plugs are a nightmare to remove some are OK but others
are as tight as a Aberdonian Rabbi ( no insult to any Rabbis from
Aberdeen intended ). That's it done I'll put it back together tomorrow.

Does anyone know the wattage of the two types of dash
bulb fitted .

Juddering could be warped disks

With Baz. Disk or worn bushes/balljoints.
Possibly wheel balancing but you would feel that when not braking as well.
