anybody have any ideas what could be the problem?

sometimes the car starts, sometimes it won't. sometimes it cuts out whilst driving but will start back up.

it displays no faults, diagnostic machines can find no faults but still problem persists.

fuel delivery pressure from intank pump is 278 (is this correct pressure?)

when ignition is on/ car cuts out there is a whining noise from the front (sounds like no fuel is getting to engine)

if anybody can shed any light please let me know. it is getting quite frustrating as i do not feel safe taking the car on long journeys as i don't often get signal on my mobile to call RAC!!

thanks Read more

The following has happened a couple of times since I've had the car from new and the dealer has always "reprogrammed it". When you bring the driver's electric window up it gets to closed and then drops a third of the way back down. This is a safety feature to stop kids' hands etc. getting in. Unfortunately you're left with a window open a third of the way unless you close it in tiny bits rather than letting it go up in one move. When it's happened before I remember the dealer saying it's just a matter of resetting via the electric window switches but I can't remember how.
Has anyone any idea how to do this so I can avoid a trip to the dealer? Read more

The release catch has broken on the off side rear seat. Does anyone know how you get it out to replease it, without cutting the seat to pieces...................? Read more

My Vauxhall Meriva 1.6 Enjoy is out of warranty.
The word "Insp" now comes up above the odometer for a few seconds when you start the car to tell me it needs a service-- which its already had just a few hundred miles ago, from an independent mechanic.
I assume this indicator is something which is cancelled by Vauxhall when they service these cars under warranty, but does anyone know how I can cancel it? The handbook tells you what it means, but unsurprisingly gives no clue as to how to get rid of it. Its obviously not a serious issue, but still annoying.
Cheers in advance. Read more

We have a 02 HDI 110 Rapier 44k miles bought recently. Upon starting we receive the following fault warnings ESP/ASR NOT FUNCTIONING and then ANITPOLLTION FAULT, both of which repeat 3 times.

Now the first time this happened I took the car to a local garage (whom I know) to check it out, unfortunatle he couln'nt help as he said his machine could'nt read the codes.

So dealer he we come. They were vaery helpful and advised what the two warning lights ment, they also told me what could be the problems, they caried out various test and look would have it they informed me that the fault was down to a corroded connector on the BSI unit (located behind the glove box) so they striped irt down cleaned it up reset and cleared the faults and hey presto back to normal (no limp mode).
They did advise that the BSI unit may require replacing as the corrotion may have spread into the box.

Incidently the radio will not tune into any radio stations - rellivant I'm not sure...

3 weeks later driving along the motoway (which we do not often do long runs) on a rainy day (as we have a lot of latley) warning lights re-appeared and back into limp mode.

Back to the dealer who advised me that a new BSI (£480) plus a new FAP filter (£380) was required, I discided to have a look myself. Took the BSI unit out cleaned the connectors (which did look corroded and not like they had been cleaned before) put it all back together back to the dealer to clear the faults and back to normal again.

2 weeks later on another motorway journey (this time dry) and the faults re-appeared.

I realise it may be that I need a new BSI unit but I am a bit relucant to fork out £480 plus the £380 for the filter when I am not convinced the problem cannot be fixed.

Any suggestions?? Read more
