Hi,
i recently had the misfortune of having a light front end collision in my 306 hdi, external damage would be an easy repair for myself, however, both the passenger and drivers airbag were activated and are still in the deployed state, my main problem is that the engine will not turn over on the key, i have located the front impact sensor with red cap found to the rear of the battery tray, and pressed it to reset, but still no joy, i assume i will have to replace airbags before i can get engine running ? does anyone know if there are other asociated parts i may have to replace . . . . ? any info regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated,...

Well from i understand e cars will be paying £310 tax a year anyway 3 years after you buy one starting in 2017 ,they will probably loose the free this and free that status because of the governments looses on tax revenues on fuel /road tax and VAT then you have the loss of revenue from the emnissions laws/regulations eg congestion charges emissions charges ect ,the bigger the take up of EV,s the bigger the losses to the government i dont think anyone has calculated the loss of revenue on emissions sensors and emission equipment ,the loss on fuel sales alone is getting bigger every year Yes we do need clean transport but it comes at a cost to someone and some of the losses will have to be replaced looking at the new VED charges vehicles the road tax is going to be appx £450 or £310 for zero emissions quiet what that means im not sure after the 3 years are up if you are going to buy a petrol /diesel vehicle you can expect too see any and all transport charges related to vehicles going up even if you drive biological lead free and non violent vehicles !

Hi all,
Long time no post! I'm looking to get myself a banger to go with the Z4 and was thinking MK3 Mondeo.... Read more
I've previously had a MK2 and it was a very nice car, I had the V6 though and I have to be honest, the 1.8 version would probably make me yearn for the V6 again!
I'm quite keen on the MK3 as I seem to remember that the ride is significantly more refined than the MK2.

I have been trying to remeber whether it has a fuel pump impact cut of switch !
Also check the cam belt didn't jump or fail on impact. Air bag deployment shouldnt stop the engine running unless its burnt the loom somewhere. I have seen quite a few major loom failures after air bag deployment.
