    Hi I'm just following on from posts from Stanton Man made a while ago about the Rover air flow meter.

  • Driving lesson vouchers 6 Jan 2005 (Forum)
    It's SWMBO's birthday coming up, and I'm struggling for ideas for a present (why are women so awkward to buy for? ;) ). One idea is that she needs driving lessons, as she wants to learn to drive. She did actually have some lessons about a year ago, and passed the theory test, but due to work

  • HGV driving for a year 30 Mar 2009 (Forum)
    Just an idle question, really. Lots and lots of websites out there all promising that with sufficient effort it's possible to earn £600/week driving HGVs (I imagine that's 50 hours+), is it actually possible to achieve this soon after passing the test? All these companies are trading under

    with the car, everything else works(?!), and a cost of a new bcm is £350 plus vat plus fitting!! Surely, can this be an issue or can the bcm (If it is the problem) be re-wired or by-passes to another area of the car? The car cost me £600 so possibly spending £500 on repairs

    MY girlfriend's '99 Yaris went in for the MOT, one of the items they failed it on was that the headlamp angle could not be adjusted (it was too low on one side). In order to pass it had to have a new headlamp fitted! We got the original headlamp off them, there's no adjustment 'mechanism

  • New Ford Fiesta 1000 Ecoboost - Gear lever vibration at around 2500revs 25 Oct 2015 (Forum)
    My new Fiesta 1000 Ecoboost has significant vibration felt through the gear lever when engine is passing through 2500 revs. Also when the "change up arrow" advises a gear shift at 2000revs the engine seems to labour from 1300 to 1800 revs in 2nd 3rd and 4th gear. Above 2000 revs it's fine
  • Nissan Almera - Terrible headlights 19 Oct 2006 (Forum)
    . Aiming them lower makes them even worse. They passed the MOT in March, so it shouldn't be a defective reflector or anything like that. Plus, the lights on my mum's (newer model) Almera are just as bad. My bulbs are the normal old-fashioned headlight type (usually called bulb 472) - any suggestions how

  • Shock absorbers 19 Jun 2004 (Forum)
    The JGC had its last main-dealer service this morning. It's out of warranty already but they gave me a discount voucher for it! Anyway, they report a back shock absorber is starting to weep.
