Hi guys. Crinkly Dave got off the fence and bought one of these as I fell in love with the old 1.9 engine, and the new 1.6 was even quieter.
Anyone know any links to explain how the DPF works, and any problems, as I know the Fiat version can have problems, as the "burning cycle" requires extra fuel, and if this does not turn off it has caused problems with sumps being filled with diesel.
Nice to drive, apart from occasional minor power drop, hardly noticeable, as if glow plugs and air con kicked in together, and CD player does not illustrate the CD name and track name.... Read more

My glow plug has started flashing when starting my car up, it runs fine but with no turbo oomph and also the engine management light has now come on permanently. On occasions the glow pluf light does not come on but id say 50% of the time it does, this has been happening no for about 4 days. Does anyone know what is wonrg, I've read other threads on this about the car cutting o0ut and dying or not starting up ut this has not happened with mine (yet). Can anyone tell me what is most likely wrong? Read more

Hiya,
II have a 2001 elegance zafira deisel. It has heated seats which doesnt appear to be standard issue, but the drivers one doesnt work. I cant find how to fix this, and the Haynes manual doesnt mention it.... Read more
Went to a Jeep showroom recently to look at the Patriot but I do too many miles to live with its 9000 mile service interviews.
The salesman said a new model is coming out soon with a 2.2 Mercedes diesel engine. Anyone able to confirm this? Assuming this is the case (can't see why the man would lie) what other changes are due?... Read more
I recently purchased a classic Mini which has been fitted with a 1.4L Vauxhall motor on an AllSpeed subframe. I'm trying to find out what year the motor is so I can purchase replacement parts for it. The motor appears to be a C14SE, but I'm not certain. I don't know what the motor came out of. Is there a chart I can use to reference the motor serial number to find out what year it was produced? Same for the tranamission. It has a 5speed trans but I'm not sure what it came out of. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
