Hi i'm new to this forum so hello and thanks for any help in advanced. Ive got a 2.0 TDDI mondeo that wont start. I cracked of the injector pipes and cranked over Cylinder's 1, 3 & 4 just dribble out but cylinder 2 fires out as you would expect it too. I removed the fuel line into the high pressure pump and cranked it over and fuel rushes out which rules out the lift pump. I suspect the fault lies in the high pressure pump but im unsure if its the mechanical part of the pump or the ecu part of the pump? sureley its mechanicly fine if it supplies good pressure to number 2?. Ive found a company that repaires the control units on these pumps so if thats the problem it would make it alot cheaper for me. Any help would be really appreciated thanks again!!!!!!!!! Read more
Hi, my key no longer opens the door via the remote, I now have to unlock the car manually. I assumed the key was not charging in the ignition because I only do short drives and a 20-30 mile long drive once a week. During Xmas, I had a dead car battery so changed it over. This hasn't rectified the problem. Mini have said it sounds as if I need a new key and it re-coding, however, will do a diagnostic test first. I know they're going to cost me £120+ for this. Is there anywhere I can get a remote key from, other than the main dealer? I know a garage that can re-code it for £20.00 but can't get the key. Any suggestions really appreciated. =) Read more
Hi,
Many thanks for your response. In car receiver sounds expensive =s any idea how much that would cost? Good idea about getting the key checked, I shall have a look around, thank you.

One of my favourite lady friends is looking to change her car as she needs a comfortable mile muncher due to a change in jobs, family living a long way away, and the fact that her 02 Astra is getting through oil like the Queen mother used to get through Gin & tonics.
Anyway she is completely taken with a 56 plate Citroen C5 we saw at the local dealers, which is a 56, 1.8 petrol engine and seems immaculate, FSH one owner 48 K miles and is up for only 3.5 grand.... Read more
Got the car.
It was totally immaculate 48 K miles and drives beautifully, with a freah MOT even though there was almost 5 months left on the old one, it looks and feels like new car so we didn't mess about....
I took my car to the garage as it stopped working after not being used for the month od December. The AA suggested that I get my coil pack tested. Investigation by my garage showed that My No 4 Injector was faulty. I have had my No 4 Injector replaced and the spark plugs changed. The coil pack and battery were checked over.
I have been driving it now for two weeks and the Airbag light is now permanently on and it beeps when I apply the handbrake. The speedometer now no longer moves from zero.
Any ideas what is wrong and is it safe to drive? Read more
Hi i was wondering if you managed to figure out what the problem was? I have just bought the same car and the speedo stays at zero as well as airbag light being on and hanbrake beeping,thanks
I need to replace the passenger side dippled headlight bulb on my 2002 A3.
Although I can unclip one side of the casing protecting the bulbs, there is not enough room to move it away due to the placement of the battery.... Read more
Thanks for your advice, Peter. I took the battery out and replaced the bulb. Regards.
After a recent success through the Small Claims Court process I discovered that sending mail Recorded Delivery, does not necessarily mean that the addressee has to accept delivery. The dealer in question had refused to sign for delivery. This explains why I did not get a single reply to any of my letters. Royal Mail had to open all my correspondence to find my address and then return the letters which obviously caused some delay before I became aware the returned letters had not been read. It was only when the dealer received notification from the Court that there was any response. Fortunately my claim was successful and my money refunded in full. Read more
Thanks for that, just what I now do. Hope this alerts others who thought otherwise.
My Insignia covered only 3,800 miles before the clutch and DMF failed. Bill for £1680. Anyone else with this problem on low mileage Insignias?
Why the Insignia was awarded the 2009 "Car of the Year Award"? The more I read about VX faulty DMFs and clutches, the more I despair. Pity the senior management didn`t share the same attitude and stopped playing the "wear and tear" get out of jail free card.
