any other reason to pick one over the other?

Many thanks..... Read more

As drivers we take in a massive amount of information on each and every journey. Most of it is in the subconcious, checking road conditions, other cars and the driving habits of other drivers. We are able to reach conclusions about the likely actions of other road users simply from watching their use of the road and traffic.
By acceptig the DRLs which are mandatory on the Mk 6 Golf does this mean that in future I will be grouped with the dithery old git meandering along the middle lane of the motorway in his Volvo? Read more

Hi all,
I have a problem with my vauxhall movano. mileage 67000
My van has just had work done to the gearbox, new clutch assembly, new slave cylinder. new master cylinder & new gearbox bearings. on replacing all components i started to turn van over & it started only for about 5 seconds & died, tried again a few times but would not fire. sprayed some easy start into air assembly & it started.

Checked seals to diesel filter all fine, fuel filter has just been replaced checked for problems it to was fine, disconnected hose from fuel filter to diesel injection pump & turned van over to check for fuel, this to was working so pump in tank working.
disconnected fuel union nut at fuel accumulator turned van over but no fuel delivery, could this mean injection pump goosed or is there something else i might have missed before i change pump as its not cheap.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I COULD TRY OR TEST.

van was running fine when it was parked up before work started on gearbox,

Passenger side electric window has stopped working. Check fuse ok, drivers side works ok.

Stripped trim from door to expose motor. Disconnected motor put circuit tester into oneside of the electrical connector pressed the down button, tester says current there, did the same to the other connection it says current there when up button pressed. Removed motor, reconnected wiring press down button nothing happens, press the up button and the gear rotates. Thought it was motor, went to breakers yard, tried another motor before purchasing, this motor responded the same way!

Has anybody come across this. Read more
