Coolant level warning light came on over the weekend, after driving from Leicester to Norfolk. It took almost a litre to get level up to max. The next day it had lost about the same amount after driving about 20 miles. Topped it up yesterday before returning home to Leicester and it’s dropped to...

I had my 1.4 petrol (BBY engine) serviced today at a local garage today. They had to fit a new oil pressure sensor as it was leaking oil. Just as they drove it out of the bay the oil pressure warning light came on (red oil can and beeping) They spent another 20 minutes checking connection...

Check this out! If you've got a Minichamps A2 model, how about this modification?

Spotted around 2pm today - B4114 Coventry Road, nr Croft. I was in Mauritius Blue A2 (Dirty diesel) I flashed; you waved!

Monmouth Beach Lyme Regis, tucked away behind the beach huts. Silver SE model.

I was going to fit front fog lights to my 1.4 petrol (Sophie) today but whilst I have the bolts, I seem to missing the fixing clips. I'm sure they were already present when I fitted the fogs to my tdi90. This is a photo with the surrounding trim removed. Question is, can the clips be purchased...

I have retro-fitted heated mirrors to both of my A2s. Both work ok on the passenger sides, neither work on the drivers sides. I've swapped the mirrors over to check they actually work, and they do. Seems strange to have a wiring problem on the drivers side on both cars! Any ideas? Thanks Steve

Spotted in the car park near the castle. Been in Northumberland all week and haven't seen a single A2, until today! :)

My interior lights won't activate when the front passenger door is opened. They work for all other doors. How is the light activated? I know on old cars it was a basic spring-loaded plunger in the door reveal. I'm sure things have moved on since then....! Doubtless this has been discussed before...

This morning I went to the car to find a completely flat front tyre. Not great on a morning when I have to travel from Leicester to Heathrow first thing! I re-inflated the tyre and immediately heard the puncture hissing. The hole was in the side too, so no repair possible. I went to my local...

After driving back from N Yorks Dales (great snow over the weekend!) my car has developed a metallic "Pinking" sound from the engine area. I initially thought DMF (which was only replaced 30k miles ago) but it seems to be coming from the drivers side near the cambelt area. It goes quiet when...

Any one on the forum? Spotted on my walk into work this morning, at Victoria Park Road Leicester - not far from where I park mine every day, though I haven't noticed it before.

I'm sure this has been covered before, but how is the fuel flap solenoid fixed, and does replacement require the boot lining panel to be removed, or can it be done through the access hatch to the light cluster? Thanks in advance Steve M

Hi I have been experiencing shuddering from the front wheels under breaking, and if feels like warped discs. However, front discs and pads were replaced last November (pagid parts) Reading threads over the weekend i note that wheel bearings could be the problem. Coincidentally there is a now...

Having recently replaced all of the incandescent light bulbs in my house with LEDs I thought I'd do the same with my A2. I recall a member previously recommended EM Tuning. The A2 set doesn't appear on their website, but you can email them for an order. £36.25 for the full set including...

My centre caps were starting to look tatty to say the least, and not wanting to shell out £40-50 for second hand replacements, or twice that for new ones, I decided to have a go at a DIY refurbishment. I originally intended to just re-spray the entire cap, but I decided to try dismantling them...

I have owned my A2 tdi SE for just under two months now and I absolutely love it! It's hard to drive it without a smile on my face! Just one thing - It's fitted with 17 inch alloys and 205/40 tyres, and whilst they look fantastic and corner superbly, the ride is somewhat firm to say the least...
