I think, you might have a clear case for the full refund. Don't wait until it fails. If you agree to start repairs, then you have to give them three attempts, it will take time and after 6 months everything will become more complicated. You are at risk of getting stuck with an unreliable car. The de...

Upset? No! I was just typing fast, possibly in a grumpy voice... Sorry if I upset you! The sticky stuff is the grease part number 82 00 168 855 applied according to the technical note 3789A. As I understand the coils must not be removed unless one is prepared to renew the grease coating. The Green N...

There exist 3 deadlines: 1 week since purchase, 6 months and 1 year. Read about it and act! Use an independent to prove the fault if necessary. If it is not an e...

Undertray? It needs to be removed anyway, as the oil leaks when removing the filter. Too thin? There is no point in making it thicker unless it becomes really thick. Ask LGC about how strong the sump guard should be in a rally car... Guttless? It's 1.4 in a bus. What do you expect? I doubt that Scen...

Written in a hurry 5/10/2007 and never retrieved from my Outbox: Hello meganepp, I've seen your message, had no time to reply and in the next 3 days I'll be very busy (driving Newcastle-Canterbury-London-Newcastle). Sorry. I don't know the fix to your problem, but my impression that your dealer is g...

Nop. They are made of forged steel and galvanised or somehow else coated. Unfortunately, their parts on which the pads slide are machined after galvanisation, which makes them susceptible to corrosion. The steel seems to be of a good grade and it corrodes slowly, but it does! ...But aren't the calip...

I had this problem and it was due to rust forming in the caliper mechanism. If this was going on for a while, you may need new rear disks in addition to new pads. I started with changing pads and cleaning disks, but two years later decided to replace the disks... My car is also 53 reg. (1.9dci Expre...

Sorry to say this, Ray... Edited upon Ray's clarification: Sorry to say this, Ashsoft... Some insist that there exist other colours than just white and black. I would add that there are black and white colours in addition to the infinite multiplicity of others. The programme in the computer of this ...

I guess I will never learn anything about the miracle GE product in the view of the recent development of things... This is, probably, not so important as I am suspecting it is the ECU or something related to it (inc. sensors, actuators, interconnect and power circuits), which causes the problem. Th...

Congratulations, Bri, and welcome to the DIY club! :tu BTW, the turbo pressure control loop is not a minor issue. It may overboost, blow the intercooler or its pipes, thus causing the turbo spin without load, and boom! Read the stories of blown turbos at Parker's. Many of them start with this light,...
