    and frustrating problem ? The on board nag tells me there is a fuel injection problem and to contact you know who. Note DIS Cap, Rotor Arm, Oil Seal and HT Leads replaced.
  • My Xmas Prezzy 31 Dec 2002 (Forum)
    about wiring to the correct wire so that the voltage does not cut when the car is started from the accessory position. (Or else the connection to the phone would be lost presumably)) Does anyone know if there are standard wiring colours for the appropriate power lead/ignition wire? Or even any general
  • Alloy Wheels - Bad Design! 27 Sep 2002 (Forum)
    A year ago, I purchased a set of BK Racing alloy wheels. Unlike normal wheels, the bolts required a key, like a large allen key, to remove them. This way, they fitted snugly into the holes without leaving a gap. However, I now realise that this leads to a problem - the bolts have begun to show
  • Toyota Supra (1986 - 1993) - 87 1.0 12 valve Starlet - coolant 17 May 2002 (Forum)
    appreciated! My concern is that if I undo the cap, will that affect the pressure of the system, and I'm worried about affecting/ dislodging the pipes that lead to the coolant tank. I'm a poor student - hence why I haven't got a proper mechanic to do it yet! I realise this is quite a basic question
  • Brakes & Brake Fluid... 15 May 2002 (Forum)
    , or are the two things unrelated ? Its not really an issue, since it is hardly an expensive job, even on the Dodge, but its never happened before and so I wonder what lead to it this time. Mark.
  • New Astra Paintwork 5 Mar 2002 (Forum)
    I have a new "51 reg" Astra SXI Turbodiesel in metallic black, Ive only done 5000 miles and already the leading edge of the bonnet is peppered with small stone chips, right through to the undercoat which is pale grey. The car had to be repaired after a neighbour collided with the front wing one
  • Audi 2.5TDI 7 Jan 2002 (Forum)
    had the timing belt done again. The cost for the job is about350 pounds and Audi justify the lesser period between replacement as an improvement to their spec. Can you tell me how realistic is the possibility of water pump failure and what would be the symptoms leading up to the failure? Maurice
  • More b****y Mondeo woes 19 Oct 2001 (Forum)
    on the Blackbird, so thought take the Mondeo it'll be ok for 5 mins. Battery so flat the clock doesnt even work. Kids wont take no for an answer, so root out the old battery I kept when I scrapped the Passat months ago. On with the jump leads and it starts first time. Well done Passat. I wish I had sold
  • cd multi players 30 Jun 2001 (Forum)
    anyway). Anyway can anyone tell me if its just the Sony CDX-646 that I will need ? (can I go out and shop for the cheapest one I can get ?) Or do I need some convertor and lead to run to the head unit ? Will any other Cd players work with minimal work ? Where is the best place to fit the thing
  • Vectra wont start 2 Mar 2001 (Forum)
    time I call out the local Vauxhall dealer who has found the only way to start it is to bump start (Jump leads are not sufficient) After full diagnostic check the dealer has never been able to find the fault. Replacement plugs do not help. Any one who has solved this or has a solution? One would
  • Vauxhal Vectra B - X18XE Missfire (no EML) 7 Sep 2011 (Forum)
    was it was VERY hot, i don't mean water temp or oil that seemed fine but the Cat was glowing for 5 mins after it stopped and if you looked into the end of the exhaust you could see the Baffles glowing, Anyway this was fixed with new Plugs,Leads, Coil pack and Cam gasket and it ran fine for just over two weeks
  • Honda Accord 2.0i SE VTec (auto) 1999 - What's fair - after purchase query, used car 29 Jun 2011 (Forum)
    on again... typical! Diagnostics showed misfire on no. 3 cylinder, checked the plugs and leads for all cylinders (no problems, and they are all quite obviously new - done in Feb at last service). He reckoned that it is probably because it has been sat for a couple of months during very wet
  • Acceptable Forum Behaviour 6 Nov 2006 (Forum)
    effects on regular members. For starters it can lead to unpleasantness, misunderstandings and name calling just because of a few misplaced words. It can also lead other members to think a certain way of behaving is acceptable, and where they see one person doing it, so like sheep they follow suit. I am
  • VW T-Roc - VAG 7 speed dry clutch DSG box....we have one! 30 Dec 2022 (Forum)

  • Best Car Someone With Mobility Issues 1 Nov 2022 (Forum)
    , he's 6ft plus and finds getting into the Civic an absolute nightmare as the car is low and he keeps hitting his head trying to get in and he has terrible trouble with his legs/muscles. I've been looking online and it's leading me to believe that I may have to look into getting a small SUV
  • Highway code changes - straight ahead priority 1 Sep 2021 (Forum)
    a motorcyclist would be expected to overtake a car when it's waiting to turn right? Surely this can't be right? I can see these changes leading to a lot of collisions, but maybe I've misunderstood it (but that would mean it's not as 'simple' as they say). Does anybody think it's a good idea?

    Hi everyone new here and having trouble getting the car to start on its own. Recently went to the supermarket and when I came out the car wouldn't start`so bought some jump leads to try and start it, nothing happened so I had to push start it. It's a keyless ignition with a keycard and a start
  • E82 Car Stereo - Want an powerful car stereo for ? 26 Jul 2020 (Forum)
    Really tired of of E82 car audio. Sometimes when I try to switch it on to play music, it simply doesn't work and has no sound. I use the car stereo system mainly for playing music when driving or watch videos when I get the car parked. I have taken a look at the leading
