hi there,
would be really grateful for any input. recently bought on a 51 plate, low mileage 39000 and only did 1000 miles since last mot so sat idle for most of last year. engine warning light came on and local garage said all spark plugs furred up and changed all, reset comp for £93 but light re-appeared next day. took it back and now they are picking up a different fault code which suggests 'burning a lot of oil'??? it seems to be chucking out a lot of white smoke as well. Any ideas? Many thanks... Read more
Hello,
My Nissan Primera ABS system developed a fault, whereby the ABS kicks in for a few miles causing the brake pedal to judder and then the ABS light comes on. I bought a new sensor and had it fitted this week (at an independent garage), but the fault remains.... Read more

hi folks, i was wondering what specific parts of cars suspension system are liable to wear out quicker after a cars been driven over bad potholes on aregular basis ? andy Read more

My local service / repair shop say that they replace springs very frequently. I have a collection of pieces that I pick up from the roadside when I see them. Better pick them up by hand than in the tyres.
Hi any help would be great. Have no immbiliser light in the clock at all the car will not start the starter motor does not kick in. I have replaced the ecu, responder and chip in the key which made no difference at all. i left the battery off for 30mins to try reset the ecu no difference. Is there a immobiliser unit somwhere else in the car maybe i can replace that.
thanks bradley Read more
Do you have a CCT diagram. I very much doubt that the starter is inhibited by the immobiliser. You may ahve a wirinf fualt or a problem with the ignition barrel. Regards Peter
On the M1 south of Leeds they are replacing the existing wire safety barriers with concrete walls! It's not an accident black spot to my knowledge...

I bought a BMW 318i ES 2004 reg from a private seller back in Feb this year- the car was advertised on Auto Trader and eBay indicating a mileage of 64K (whereas the actual as confirmed from a BMW garage later on turned out to be 111K). Also, the eBay ad mentioned 'HPI Clear' which is not the case.

Hi Peter. I think you replied to my last thread. I changed my track rod end but I didnt check the wheel for play before I done the job. Once I replace the rod end and put the wheel back on there was some play and a clunk at the 9 and 3 oclock posistion but nothing at the 12 and 6. I have a clunk when am driving and i have replace the drop link, wishbone and rod end. cheers
