Svenska Lada Niva forumet

Hej all,

For my 2005 1.7i Niva I'd like to get my hands on

1 - frambåge
2 - engine block heater (either plug in or fuel fired)

These are the slightly more difficult slight more expensive parts that I can buy elsewhere but would rather try here first.

Hej alla,

I was wondering if anyone here has tried out or has good tips for offroad/4x4 geocaching in Sweden?

JR

my advice is to write a letter to the dealerr detailing everything, what you told the garage, what you were told by the garage, the repairs (include copies of the receipts, not originals), etc. get it to them before the 2 year guatantee it sounds to me like there is a major fault somewhere & the...

Hej fellow Niva owners, I went to get a new set of summer tyres fitted to an old set of rims I have. When they removed the old tyres, the rims were in desperate need of a sandblasting and repainting on the inside (!) so really I need another set of rims very quickly. So, if someone close to the Göte...

I'll have one too. Please PM payment details and what information you require from me.

I'm having the same problem but in the drivers side ('05 Niva). Check all the rubber gromits (not sure what the word is in Swedish) that enter through the bulk head. I had one that was lose and I believe the water was running down the pipe and into the driverside, dripping onto the fusebox (how does...

I need a new set of road and winter tyres (preferably with Dubs) for my Niva. I have a set of 15inch rims sitting in Jönköping and 16inch rims sitting in my basement, both with a rotten set of tyres on them. I will take either tyres on their own or rims and tyres.

Hej alla, I tried removing the right hand (facing forwards) rear axle shaft from my 2005 Niva to replace the oil seal, but nothing would remove it. I didn't have a slide hammer, but tried all sorts to get it out. I'm at a loss really. Is there some trick I do not know or is there a retaining clip so...

I suddenly love that woman!

What seats are they? I've been offered a set of leather ones from a newer mini, but feel like I wouldn't be able to justify it

hmmm, I left lil Bastard alone for 6 days and he appears to have been housetrained while I was away. Either that, or the crap in the system has clogged itself around wherever the leak is

Either way, it has stopped leaking and I am getting a healthy amount of km's covered now

Hej folks,

After replacing half the fluid in the cooling system (didn't discover the block bolt until after doing it!) the cooling system is leaking from the radiator plug. Have I over tightened it (by hand!) or is there some sort of washer that could have perished.

Any thoughts?

See the bible http://www.ladaniva.co.uk/baxter/resources/Oil.htm Mine is an 05/06 and I followed this advice religously. I got my oil from here; http://www.misab.se/ Cheap, but excellent stuff. My mechanic (i.e. the guy who watches over me to make sure I don't mess anything up too much) maintains an...

Of course it is, it's a Niva!

Hopefully fixed tomorrow night and we shall try to get another person hooked this coming weekend

Now the rubber seals are leaking and peeing fluid over my parking place. Off to mekonomen for a replacement kit tomorrow I think!

I think "little bastard" is an appropriate name for this Niva.
