Not so good vibrations

Forum: 

Hi,
My sirion has got a slight knock on full left lock. It's not all the time, it knocks a few times and then stops. I thought it was the driveshaft, but the mechanic said he couldn't find any movement in it. It also vibrates a lot over 70 mph this is also sporadic, I had the balancing done, so it's not that. Any ideas.

2006 Sirion 1.3 crappy heater

Forum: 

I notice my heater gives no heat unless the temp dial is turned nearly all the way to hot (only starts getting hot at about 3/4 way round)

I have changed the coolant already for some 50/50 red stuff

Should I change the thermostat next? If so, what thermostat kit is recommended?

Should I also look at water pump?

Engine is K3-VE

Sirion corrosion problems???

Forum: 

Hi ive got a Y reg automatic Sirion (my second, second-hand one of these great little cars) and I put it in for its MOT today. Just got a call from the garage saying that its failed on 'sill corrosion' and needs to be welded (which they don't do so they're passing me off to another garage) - this is what happened to my last Sirion and it started to cost hundreds each time to repair.

cuore mystery wire

Forum: 

Just put a second hand engine into my cuore (year 2000) after the last one ate its crankshaft thrust bearings for breakfast. The trouble is there's a wire left in my loom that I can't find a home for. It comes out of the loom with a double spade connector that goes to the alternator, a green connector that goes to a sensor on the back of the block and then there's this one that's a single spade connector. It's home can't be far away due to it's length, I've stripped a little of its' sheathing away and the wire itself is blue with either a silver or white band around it.
