this is the thing i was hoping to hear thank you for reply, hope it is just that, i am a trainee tech and having a hard time solving this prob on my own car.
Last Tuesday 19th Feb I bought a 10yr old Nissan Terrano from a garage - 70,000 miles, one owner, FSH, £4,000.
I drove it 80 miles home and parked it on the driveway where it stayed until Thursday. Within 30 mins of driving it again, it had stopped 5 times before I managed to get it to my garage.... Read more
Tell them to collect it I believe you are entitled to your money back you are certainly entitled to have it repaired by the selling garage under SOGA.A fuel pump costs about 30ukp a diesel injector pump costs around 750ukps
The sensors beep at a constant rate and do not change when nearing an object.
Cleaned the sensors but to no avail. Any ideas? Read more
Moved to Technical.
Been underneath the rear bumper, no joints/plugs here to disconnect. Traced the 4 wires up into the boot and into the rear quarter panel. Thats as far as I got!...
Asf the price of fuel is on the rise again I wanted to let people know about a new dashboard fuel saver I call the 'Smooth Driver'. I made this simple prototype instrument at home and it works like a dream.( You could make one yourself), See it in action on youtube, where I have just posted a video showing how it performs with my Ford Focus. Just enter ' Mark11 Smooth Driver Fuel Saver ' into google or youtube.com,
I would be pleased to have any comments and can provide detail if required. Thanks Read more
BMW have been fitting one for years ,Unthrottled wants to go back to drawing board total non sensical answer.
Hi can anybody help me?? I have just been given a company car which has a electric brake. It took me a few days to get used to it, however I live on a steep hill and I'm struggling to reverse up to get out of a parking space in the mornings . What am I missing??? I do the usual, reverse, press button, but car goes forward, tried so many times, still going forwards, hate the car, need to go back to manual handbrake. Any suggestions please?? Read more
Make sure you are wearing your seatbelt. The brake will disengage automatically if the car is in gear and there is some power via the throttle to get to biting point.

Here's an alternative viewpoint on driving in the UK, from the editor of the Aussie web magazine, Autospeed.
He reckons us Pommies are (on average) better drivers, and faster, too.... Read more
If they want to get from France to Brighton, as huge numbers of people do?, why not use a Portsmouth ferry and pickup the M27 ?Look at the map of channel ferry crossings. Portsmouth and Dover ferries don't leave France from the same places? 'They' would have to make a similar choice between (e.g) Calais and Cherbourg.
My point was that most people arriving at Dover DON'T want to get to Brighton - they want to get everywhere in the UK whether it's business, pleasure or freight.

11.9 is a b***** good time, how much was the motor modified?
2.5 mm off piston skirts, 1.5 mm wider and higher exhaust port. Air box modified, Exhaust system with modified back "silencer" section plus shortened front pipes(which also jacked up the whole system for ground clearance).Cylinder heads skimmed and reprofiled to give a tight "squish".
All difficult to see from the outside!
