  1. I noticed today that my reversing lights are staying on, so suspecting the reverse light switch is sticking, could someone enlighten me as to the exact location please. 
    Thanks

    I got the one off the top to the intake off OK at both ends.

    Maybe I'll come back to it when I'm more on the mood, just torn on buying another tool.

    I found the hose half way down was easier to get to when the two retaining bolts were removed, allowing a bit more wiggle room. I also managed to release the bottom hose with a good yank, having given it a spray of WD40 first to lubricant.

    Added to the tool collection ordering long reach hose clamp ready for the AOS change. Requested price for AOS from OPC.

    I think the 986 is a bigger challenge than the 987, but I never used the long reach hose clamps. Tackled the job from the top, removed the two plastic hoses and two torque drive screws, then sprayed wd40 on bottom hose that is impossible to see. Positioned screwdriver on hose then pulled AOS up and out leaving spring clip on. Once AOS is out of the way you can exchange spring clip for a jubilee clip which is a lot easier to tighten up with a 7mm socket and extension.

    Good luck and hope this cures your problem.

    I can’t see how it could be adjustable, it fits in bayonet style, push in and twist, I can’t be that heavy footed 😂

    I removed mine recently, it looked as though you can adjust the plunger by pressing down, or pulling it and you will feel it clicking. 

  5. Whilst checking the fog lights on my car, I asked my son to turn the switch. He pulled and turned the switch, but something went crack and seems to have broken inside and headlights are on. To remove the light switch you need to press and turn clockwise, unfortunately mine will not release now. Any body any ideas how to remove the switch before battery dies. Its a 2005 model. 

  6. Had a drive out today for a blast around the peaks when the 'top up coolant' massage appeared. Topped up with coolant and made my way back without any further problems. Took all the undertrays off and found a leak on front hose that goes across the car just in front of crossover pipes. At the moment it only leaks under pressure, when revved. Is it possible to replace this hose without disturbing the other pipes, don't really want to start replacing crossover pipes, or maybe changing the jubilee clip. Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks Jim
