I've got a Clifford Model 2 alarm fitted but whilst it locks and unlocks the doors, it hasn't disabled the immobiliser so the car won't start.
No Clifford UK website so any advice much appreciated.... Read more

It'll take a garage 10 minutes. An inexperienced DIYer half an hour or so.
Hi all, we have a puzzler. This engine fires up no problem from cold. But when it's up to temperature and we try to re start it, it cranks over very lumpy (as if there is an engine mounting issue) and eventually starts. When it's running. it's fine. Performance is good too.
Anyone come across this before?... Read more
Hi there I am having the same problem on my Audi A4 Tdi, had the injectors test this week, nothing wrong with them!
I have a 163ps diesel manual S-Max that despite extensive investigation and installation of latest engine mapping software by Ford still exhibits an annoying throttle hang between gears - as if you havent lifted off the accelerator.
After the latest of 4 visits to the dealers I am told this is a characteristic of this particular engine and is to protect the dual fly wheel from failing - surely in a £32,000 car it should be a pleasure to drive? Read more
Thanks HJ. Always good to see where auction prices are each month Read more
Hi All, the airbag light on my mondeo flashes one long and three short flashes x3times and then stays on. any ideas please? Read more
Most likely problem is the connector under the drivers seat, or at least it is on other cars.
The new boxter comes with only the dreaded can of foam to repair tyres. If I were to get one it would be to tour some remote(ish) areas of Europe and Porsche tyres may not be readily available where a punture may occur. HOW FAR can one safely drive on a tyre repaired with foam and at what speed ( I assume no more than 50mph). I could then get to a major town that may be able to source one. Read more
If you decide not to buy one because the maker was silly enough to join the fad for aerosol spare wheels, be sure to tell the maker and the dealership why.
If people simply refuse point blank to buy a car, any car, new or used, without a decent useable spare wheel they'll soon start putting them back in, as standard kit.
I have had the above car for over 3 years and it has served me well, however, a number of weeks ago I noticed that the coolant level had dropped to below the low mark. After topping it up and going on holiday with it I had to top it up again during the week.
Since then I have had to regularly top the water up prior to driving (I am now checking it everyday)!! I have looked all over the engine when running it and it being tirned off and cannot see any obvious leaks, but there are signs of water leakage around the front and nearside of it.... Read more

He could well be right, I am not familier with your engine, just stating what I have personally experienced with other cars.
