Only yesterday did I repair the drivers side lock on my vw polo with one of the £10 repair kits from ebay, and today the boot lock has stopped working.
When the key is in the lock I am able to spin it quite easily with no resistance, does anyone know if this is likely to be a similar problem to the broken paddle I had in the drivers door lock?
Also, how will I be able to open the boot to get a look at the lock mechanism??
Thanks Read more
Hi.
I've just bought a t5 which had it's nearside (curbside) mirror replaced. The glass is plane flat and it gives very little view down the side of the van.... Read more

Hi
I am wondering if someone might be able to let me know where I might be able to purchase some Halogen lights for a Jeep, which might include relevent brackets etc. I am looking for smart looking original equipment if such a thing is available on the open market.... Read more
i have a 307 110HDI 54 plate 73,000 peugeot and the engine management light (orange) has started comin on at around 60 - 70mph and i get a loss of power, still drives but no kick behind it. The light goes off once you've turned the ignition off for 5 mins? We brought it on the 21/01/11 from a dealer and but he wants to charge us for fixing it. are we within our rights to take it further? the car is in another garage at the mo, as they are trying to suss the problem out? the have said just by running a test that its possible its the FAP thats causing other problems within that system. any help would be appreicated, like i said only had the car 3 months n a bit. grrrrrr. (this garage has also said that we shouldnt use the car while these problems are happening?) Read more
Just having a discussion with some friends and got a service manager from a national chain involved, and in line with my thinking quote "damage to fuel pumps caused by mis-fuelling AND running the pump dry IS NOT covered under warranty." unquote........................ I think that Ford put it in the handbook on new cars, but does anyone else have experience of this. Had an aquaintance attempt to get home on an empty tank and when fuelled put in 68litres diesel into a 65 litre tank. was he lucky or what! also know of a case where man bought new fiesta tdci, wife drove it for 5 days, ran out of fuel £1500 bill to fix. (new high pressure pump) reply to customer "it is in the handbook sir"
I know the dealer involved and believe their version of events. Read more
No, not at all. I was just surprised that it will telling me i had yards left to go when that clearly was not the case.
I am one of those who tends to wait until i hear the whine at the back of the car before i bother going to the petrol station. Ok maybe not that bad but im certainly not one who goes "ive only got a quarter of a tank, i urgently need petrol!!"...
My dads car stopped working, the battery was flat with only 6volts. tried to jump start but under the bonnet the starter motor clicked and hummed away. took the starter motor out and cleaned all the carbon brushes all inside greased the shaft and put it back together. with the battery only a year old (yusa). turned the key and it started 4 or 5 times on the key. today the same. battery was discharged adn the clicking noise and humming was under the bonnet. took the starter out and the gear was jammed......
Could any one tell me, also if im on the right track?... Read more
i have the car running but am a bit stunned...
took the battery and starter motor to the dealers. battery tested weak so they replaced as it is only just over one year....
