• Hyundai i10 - Hyundai i10 EMU Warning light flashing 27 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  Hyundai i10 EMU flashing Has anyone else had problems with the Engine Management Unit (EMU) on the i10? My daughter purchased an i10 (58plate/09), in March 2009. The EMU warning light started flashing in November 09.  First it was 'Damp'; then condensation; Tracking Leads
• Ford Fiesta Saloon - Fiesta coolant problem 13 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  .  I disconnected the temperature sensor lead with the engine running and the fan comes on in safe mode.  This seems to suggest that the fan, relay and fuse are okay.  I changed the sensor but that didn't help.  The thermostat appears to work in that the top hose is cold until the engine

  of traffic they cause usually enforces the speed limit imposed. There is some evidence that average speed cameras actually cause crashes, as they did in the contraflow past Junction 3 of the M3 on 21st October, leading to some serious injuries and massive commuter congestion
• FIAT Grande Punto - Revoked licence 25 May 2010 (Forum)
  .  My suspicion is that it is the interpretation of the report that has lead to the misunderstanding.  In the meantime if I can not get to work (which I can't without driving) then I will lose my job.  However I am worried that it is going to take as many months to sort out as it has taken
• Ford Fiesta 1997 - Ford Fiesta 1997 (Mazda 121) Revs Dropping 15 May 2010 (Forum)
  ). I recently serviced the car, changed the HT leads, changed the oil as well as the Idle Air Control Valve because it was giving other problems (rev counter went to about 4000rpm when I stepped on the clutch and I had no power even though the revs climbed normally. All this is sorted now. Eventually

  that makes it do it so i am having a nightmare trying to find the problem. Garage have run a check and no fault codes come up, have changed leads coil pack, plugs fuel filter cam sensor and crank sensor and full service, but it is still happening and if anything more often than when i bought it 3 months ago

  , but I am surprised the Distributor Cap made such a difference, as there is still a fault (not there previous to the non starting) The HT leads all appear in good condition and the car is a very well maintained example. Any tips would be much appreciated. Regards Matthew
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 03 1.6 Which is heater hose for refilling coolant? 30 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  for a novice. All I have done in the past is stuff like changing the oil filter and HT leads. The simple stuff really. Whilst i'm at it, what tools would i need to change the Cylinder head temp sensor? Apologies for asking a lot!
• BMW 3-Series E46 (1998 - 2005) - 02 2.0 Car not starting 7 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Experiencing strange behavior with my 320D. Was running fine until Sunday when I stopped the car. When I came back and tried to start it again no joy. It was turning over but just not starting. My initial reaction was that it must be the battery. I got a set of jump leads and the car started
• Finding the perfect driving position. 21 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  We are often told that a bad posture at your desk can lead to long-term injury but what about the long-term effects of a bad driving position? Given that many of us will spend a large chunk of our lives behind the wheel, is this something that we should be giving more thought to? Many people

  even whilst driving (it used to do it at idle but stopped as soon as you revved it). My mate has now replaced the alternator with another new Bosch unit and also fitted a new battery (apparently they need a particular Lead Calcium battery and mine only had a cheapo one fitted). Despite

  and the exhaust gases are clear when driving along,but for that amount of oil osage one would expect the engine to be plastered or a real smoke screen coming out of the exhaust. I have difficulty in believing that the initial stages of head gasket failure could lead to such catastrophic oil loss without leaving
• Does warranty influence the new car choice? 7 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  particularly helpful apparently by the reports many are making. I personally wouldn't have one of their cars again following this little affair. I'm quite surprised that more makers haven't had to match Hundai's warranty lead to keep their sales up, the only one that springs to mind (apart from Kia

  , indefinitely. Switch off and restart and fault is present again. Recovery company suggested a fault in one of the clutch cylinders leading to lack of pressure. (no leaks present) Trader I bought car from has taken it to a garage and paying for fix (and has given me a courtesy car) so I can't complain really

  mins even though air temp was approx 18 degrees, managed to get approx 2 miles before engine cut out silently and would not restart, even off jump leads. When depressing the clutch prior to junctions the revs would drop to 500 then back up to 900 every 1 second and would get plumes of white/light grey

  was reporting and apparently correctly; car heated up to approximately 70°C but then seemed to stabilise; ? On 18.04.09 coil pack checked, leads replaced, not firing on cylinder 1; ? EML initially went out, now flashing/illuminated constantly, smoking heavily, temperature gauge permanently on cold; ? Oil

  pressed (lob's pointing up). So all ok? A few oddities found: 1) possibly weak spark voltage from no1 plug (Plugs and HT leads, Disti rotor and cap are all fairly new) - measured on O'Scope with inductive probe. 2) Gunky crankcase breather tube - going to get that blown out 3) Compression test

  computer and found nothing wrong, but they changed plugs and ht leads and put something in to clean the valves. This didn't fix it. Car is 02 and has 97k miles.
