Bit of a strange one this so I am hoping someone might be able to shed some light on it
I have a 306 HDi that at face value wont start, if however I feed a static 12v feed to the pump which at the moment is via the cigar lighter socket it starts and runs perfectly everytime and whilst running I have voltage at the plug for the pump... Read more

Hi
I have the above following car with very bad/low pedal... Read more
Master cylinder fault.
To be honest I've not had much luck with this car and I'm beginning to regret the day I bought it! Anyway, it was being driven today, the diesel was rather low and I was looking for a garage when something went pop at the exhaust end. The car then lost power and the exhaust warning light came on. It's still driveable but just has no power in at all and does sound like the turbo has gone on it. It's a 2006 06 reg with 35,000 miles on the clock.
Doesn't seem to be.
Hi,
im looking for help removing the aluminium air hose to the inlet manifold. I have a leak there so bought a gasket to replace it.... Read more
We hear so many stories of car salespeople who don't seem to want a sale (in fairness, not many from Skoda dealers), so here's a heartening story of a team who did.
My Octavia (April '09) was in for its 20,000 mile service at Jewsons of Oxford, who had supplied it new. While it was there, unbeknown to me, Sam the salesman and Paul the business manager valued it and prepared a PCP quote for a new identical model (vRS diesel manual) for £80 less per month than I'm paying now. ...

Turbo11 - agreed. I'm glad your colleague has had as good an experience as I have.
Hillman - would you care to explain what you mean? In my case the deal is a PCP, of which I've done many before. Under the FSA regulations all the facts have to be made clear, and they were.
Does anyone own this model and if so what are your experiences of it. Pitfalls and Reliability. Read more
Can anyone recommend a source of key and remote alarm fob other than main dealer, to avoid exhorbitant Volvo price of £270 plus labour to programme?

Someone on their way home had a stroke, collided with my parked car then a lamppost. Police/Fire/Ambulance attended. I was told by a neighbour (who had heard the bang & my car alarm) on my return from work, got the details from the police. Now have the car back from my insurers repairers. Had to pay £250 excess, as the other drivers insurers are not admitting liability.
My insurer (Churchill, fully comp, inc legal assistance) doesn't seem very proactive, their liability department seems to reckon that it unlikely 3rd party will admit it, and seemingly have had no success in contacting other insurer (Zenith) who apparently "don't deal with 3rd parties" (does that mean I have to deal with them?)...

The 3rd party's insurers are only liable if it can be proven that their client was negligent. In this case the OP would have to demonstrate that either the 3rd party had a history of stokes or was feeling so unwell before getting in the car that they should have known it was not safe for them to drive.
Little know insurance fact this but absolutely correct. We get 2-3 every year.
I've just seen this http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/10122010/36/bus-driver-shrugs-snowy-hill-0.html
Is this skillful driving, or was it the bus that made it look easy? The wheels did slip in places but the driver managed to keep the speed quite high. If there wasn't much grip then I don't think the bus would have been doing that speed. Read more
In slushy conditions the heavy vehicle will just melt the snow beneath the tyres, the bus has the engine sitting over the rear driven wheels (My Imp is unstoppable in the snow for the same reason)
I had 3 Imps in the 70's, amazingly good as you say - went to watch the RAC Rally in the Yorkshire forests, 4 or 5 inches of snow fell but no problem getting back to the Pennines. Mind you, I had a spare pair of steel wheels with Town and Country tyres which helped! ...

It turned out to be a ghost voltage DOH!
I applied a 12v supply to pin 4 on the relay connector and it didnt run, but if I applied the same suppy to the pump side of F35 it does....
