Hi
Just joined the forum. I have a 2005 Multispace 1.6 hdi Desire which I've owned since new. What a great work horse it's been. Never had any problems with it, but I need to do a few jobs over the next few months so will be looking for a few pointers. First up will be new front wheel bearings and I'll be changing the discs and pads at the same time. I've done the discs and pads before, but never wheel bearings.

Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve - welcome!

[Steviecops]

Thanks for the welcome. I am unable to post on the problems & faults page because I'm using zaps talk and it keeps crashing, but I've got a problem that someone might be able to help me with.

Tonight, I did an oil change and have found out the hard way that the sump plug thread is knackered! I noticed a small drip on the plug and went to give it another quarter of a turn, but the plug just never tightened and kept turning. I've got something under the sump to catch my new oil, but I need to get another sump plug tomorrow. Can anyone tell me of they are a standard size and whether I can get one in any car spares shop, or are they a main dealer part?

Thanks.

Hi,welcome to the forums Steve

Sump plug sorted now. The threads on the plug and the sump we're knackered. A new sump plug and washer in a drilled, tapped and helicoiled sump sorted the problem.
