    1, where is my ABS fuse located? my under bonnet fuse box dose not have a diagram so im lost as to what one i need gone.

    2. when driving in 4th....if i let off the gas it pops out of gear in to neutral??
    i have found a vacum hose hanging off the gearbox could this be the course?

    last but not least' how do i go about bleeding the power steering???

    1. Looks like your fuse is in the engine bay judging by the above pic.. you can always just pull the connector wires out the abs unit.
    2. The gearbox doesn't work with vacuums etc so that shouldn't affect the gear thing - more likely the syncro's are gone in the gearbox. You should find out where that vac goes though and block it off or connect it.
    3. Bleed the power steering by simply turning full lock to full lock a few times.

    Thanks....!
    You should be able to take out both of those fuses, one's for the control and one for the actuator I'd think.

    1. just the fuse in the drivers footwell will do it

    2. NO, this won't be affecting your gearchange. Sounds like the box is worn. that pipe is a breather, it's supposed to be venting to atmosphere. It should have a bent metal pipe on the end with a bracket attached. This bracket should be held by one of the bolts on the gearbox so that the pipe comes out of the gearbox, goes up, then bends over at the top to point downwards (if that makes sense?)

    lol yea i get you.
    i forgot to put it on when putting the gearbox on abviously:smash:..... ohh well ill sort it. and ill try the footwell one out first....cheers dude.

    how about if the gearbox don't have anoth oil in it? could that make it jump out??? its a pain in the ass...... if i can't sort it ill just have to leave it till i need a new clutch then change the both.

    ok guys about the power steering'
    i done alot and still no change... its still heavy..
    iv took the filler cap of and turned the steering one way then the other for over 10 mins to get any unwanted bubbles out.
    iv also made sure my tire pressher is up at the front and today i even changed the power steering pump but still the same.....whats going on???????

    could there be air trapped at the pistons down by where the tie rods are??
    dose the PS work of a fuse anywhere?
