Many thanks lads for prompt reply to inquiery. The owner already has replaced the 2 off
3v batteries within key to no avail. Looks like a re-programming job at main dealers...
Evening Folks,
Replaced N/S suspension arm again last week due to the usual bush debonding problem. I've replaced both sides several times now and the job went smoothly with no difficulties. Car passed its MOT a couple of days later.... Read more
Hi there
Mixed feelings here, on the one hand, really chuffed that the venerable Camry got through the M.O.T with only an advisory on one tyre and a bit of exhaust putty on the joint between the backbox and the middle section (not bad I suppose for 13 years and 160K on the same system!).... Read more

There had been much `glubbing` on the final frontier - the surface of the interface of all things known. Though it was perceived in a dim, some would say uncomprehending way - that things lurked beyond - perhaps in a fractile sense of being a whipping boy at a public school. Or perhaps much more than that. Though it would help if you were a `sensitive soul` - at least in the corporeal - if not spiritual sense.
There was always a sense of content being somehow `filtered` as though the Harvest Moon tracking overhead could be remembered - and some emotion - residual - but persitant - linked a species constant over millenia - but gilded through Chinese Emporer`s exclusivity, these last few hundred years....

Tried looking for a spray can to do some minor repair to my wifes 307.
The paint code on the R/H pillar is "KMF". But cannot find this code in the various shops.... Read more

The car nearly failed its technical inspection because of the handbrake. It feels as if the cables need some oil inside. What is the easiest way - by dismantling the rear hubs or removing the centre console to expose the end of the cables? All information gratefully received. Read more
So there's me thinking about time I changed my ageing car, and all I have to do is go to the dealers, choose the one I want and order one. They'll be pleased for the business and will trreat me well and do me a good deal. I narrowed my choice down to a Hyundai, Kia, Nissan or Honda.
Hyundai - no crossovers in stock so sent me to another of their dealerships a 45 min drive away. Got there, the bloke could barely get off his a*** to help me. Not a bit interested in selling me one because they were already having trouble getting them so didn't want the business. "they've 1,000 more orders than cars right now sir".... Read more
I think part of the problem is if you just turn up - they dont take you seriously. Make an appointment and its a different story.
I have "just turned up" at a couple of dealers and they were rubbish. I told the mazda one I wanted a test drive on the mazda 6 estate and he just told me it was out and to call them. Didnt bother to take my number! This was after I had hung around for 15 minutes to speak to an alleged salesperson. I was seriously going to get one, but changed my mind after that. ...
Hi, this morning when I started my car , 3 new warning lights came on: brake warning light and the yellow lights for ABS & ASC+T/DSC
The manual says this means that the complete regulating system for ABS, CBC, ASC+T/DSC and ADB haS failed.... Read more

I was joking. Don't know what happened to my post, but the ;-) at the end was the hint.
Having slept on it the camshaft sensor could be worth a try its quite a common fault on these engines.
