I took the policy out after the offence but inadvertently forgot to mention it. the police then called the insurance company to verify the authencity of my new policy and thats when they decided to cancell automatically.... Read more

Dealer is going to "try" to fix it!!Equipment for testing the L/P pump isn't exactly high tech,a simple pressure gauge and a graduated container will do.ok,maybe they don't have a 'scope,they should have,but come on,I've tested a L/P pump out put on a breakdown with couple of bit of pipe,a compressor gauge and a Coke bottle!not exactly rocket science.and yes the pump then was shot,low pressure and delivery.Dealer is going to try to fix it!!

Can anyone advise please. I have removed a Lucas diesel fuel injector pump - I have locked the engine at TDC as prescribed by the manual. I am puzzled by the pundits who suggest inserting 2 bolts through the fuel pump sprocket to 'lock the fuel pump in position' . When I took the pump off (what a pig). I then removed the centre nut and ended up with sprocket/flange bolted together BUT seperate from the pump - the keyway is obviously still there on the pump BUT surely any reconditioned pump will have been turned so how will I know that it is set up right? i.e my engine is at TDC and if it was running should be about to squirt fuel to No1 cylinder? Does ONE rotation of the pump = fuel to all cylinders? Help please! Read more

Well done, nothing like that feeling of 'how much would it have cost if a garage had done it'.

Hi Gents, just wondering if anyone can help me, airbag light on cruise control not working, all points to a duff clockspring. After consulting the finest brains in my local Ford dealers, i find out i have two options one with a steering angle sensor, one without and furthermore they cant tell me which one my car is fitted with, or what a steering angle sensor does. All i got was a load of waffle about having to have it callibrated [ more exspense] after the repair completed. Anyone point me in the right direction, many thanks guys

I have a citroen relay 2.2 hdi 2007, and when cold i start it as normal and it starts immediatly every time, however the van has a missfire at idle only when cold, it clears as i increase the revs to say above 1500rpm, once warm its totally gone even at idle, the van pulls well, also regardless whether its hot or cold on idle i have a Diesel knock which to me seems louder that usual, has anyone got any ideas what may be causing this?, please note i have had a code reader cheack for fault codes and there are none present Read more

I would suspect a faulty injector, especially if it only does it at a certain speed.
