Hi all,
Iam sure your all sick to death with hearing about the same problems with these b***** vans,but unfortunatly iam going to add insult to injury with my added van problems, it a 51plate vivaro,iv previously cleaned out the egr valve with plenty of carb cleaner??.and I had the mass air flow sensor replaced,as 3months ago the van started going into limp mode at 75mph,the when I let off the throttle the glow light would go out and power would resume until 75mph was reached again??,no fault codes apple reared when taken to the garage,then the van wouldn't rev above 2k rpm on cold starts until the engine was warmed up,that's when I had the mass air flow sensor changed,that cleared that problem up,but the glow light was still coming on at 75 mph along with limp mode,and now the cold starting problem has come back to bite me on the back side ,
Iam not that machanicly minded but have plenty of tools (iam a sparks) to try and eliminate some potential faults,I havnt got a clue where solinoids or sensors are which could be at fault,so what iam asking is if one of you lovely people would be so kind in helping me with pictures/photos and what I should be checking,I'd very much appriciate it,two kids and a wife I don't have a bottomless pit of money so need to try my best at fixing it it as my vans my work horse..thank you in advance Jonny ;0) Read more

My passenger electric window is not working, but the drivers side is working fine, is there a common fault with these?

as far as i am aware there isnt a seperate fuse for each side. Read more

The car ran faultlessly with smooth changes until fairly recently. It now lurches & jumps badly on gear selection. A bit alarming ! On older models I know you could do an oil change and clean out the filter on the auto box, but this model (BMW power plant) uses solenoids to shift the gears rather than pumped oil. I'm stuck for ideas. Any suggestions much appreciated. Read more

Hi there hoping for a bit of advice from the experts. Have a late 2007 Focus Titanium 2.0 TDCI. It's got 85k on the clock and we've had it from nearly new and kept up a full ford service history.

Over the last week or so I've noticed it develop a high pitched whine which is most obvious in low gears though I think it does happen in high gears but it's largely blocked out by road noise (either than or I'm paranoid). This doesn't just happen under acceleration, in fact to me seems more obvious when I take my foot off the gas. My husband thinks he's noticed it disapear when you press the clutch but I can't say I've noticed that and I drive it far more but will listen for it tomorrow. Any advice appreciated, just hope the suggestion isn't a new clutch required!... Read more

Hi there, Im new to this and not really sure what im doing but in need of some advice so im hoping somebody sees this.

In september 2012, I bought a 2001 peugeuot 206 lx 1.4 automatic, from a private dealer with no warranty and after a couple of weeks I noticed that there was always a strong burning smell coming from the bonnet, although it never felt that it got too hot and i couldnt really tell where exactly it was coming from, also when i was driving for the first little while the car over revs, to about 40,000 but only sits on about 30mph (it would prob rev more but the noise worries me and i ease my foot off accelerator) then the car will make a clunk noise n jolt forward slightly, that will happen 3/4 times and then do it one time massively, the car will then make 3 beeps with no lights flashing and then drive normally. I had the engine oil changed and a new filter put in place as it was filthy, hoping this would solve it but it hasn't,... Read more
