    Thanks Steve, much appreciated.

    Karl.
  2. Success!

    My mechanic has managed to read the codes from the face of the crankshaft.

    OK, so I've got "CCBC" on the block, "222" on the rods, and "CDC 3222" on the crankshaft.

    I definitely got that squeaky noise when you turn the engine off, also a "coffee grinder"-like noise that was continuous - eventually turned into a "coffee grinder with a rock in it" noise, not nice.

    Thanks for that. I've just been on the phone to the mechanic, who still says he can't see anything on the crank. We have at least got the numbers off the con-rods ('2' on each one). Unfortunately I...

    Ahh. I replaced a broken driver's side mirror a couple of years ago. Can't put my hand on it at the moment but I'm sure I didn't throw it out. Not entirely sure whether the replacement mirror came...

    Thanks for that. Here's hoping it's the switch and not the motor. Actually I've removed the switch from the surround and sprayed some contact cleaner in there, after which it was working properly...

    Wanted: Wheels

    Well, the insurance company finally approved the repairs to my Beat, but they're going to give me a cash payout on the two alloy wheels that were destroyed in the accident. Given that there's no...

    Thanks everyone, you've given me some good pointers to get started on my search. Beardo, do you have the name of the dealership you worked with? I thought I might try emailing them first, & save...

    Sorry to hear about this - I hope they fix it for you, but if not: I'd be interested in the passenger side door trim, the (if original) gear knob and the ashtray. Possibly more.
