Hi all. Needing help. My civic has started being weird (so to speak).
Whilst accelerating if revs go to 4000rpm it will not go any more and splutters and wont accelerate any further. Any ideas or solving will be very welcome. Thanks in advance. Read more
Hi,
I'm new to this website and quite new to Ford Mondeo's. I bought the car 7 months ago and has now done 75,000 miles.... Read more
The car had a new injector delivery pipe fitted in Oct 2012, I don't know if anything was done to the injectors but can't see any of them leaking. I had the fuel filter changed about 3 months ago but no improvement, maybe I could try a injector cleaner in the fuel tank? can you recommend a good cleaner? Also, you are not to far from where I live in Bacup, can you recomend a good diesel specialist that would be cheaper than a ford garage?
Please read my previous post on this but basically (Aug 2013-present) a knocking developed from what seemed to be my steering rack and over a long period (8 months) the tracking (nsf) would go out and pull to the left, so had the tracking reset a couple of times. February 2014 had a new rack fitted by my mechanic with a reconditioned one from Camberley Auto Factors plus near and o/side front lower ball joints and n/s/f shocker and then had the tracking reset. Kwick fit had problems getting the camber/toe and straight ahead adjustment s right. The knock from the new steering rack (or area) with is now worse, and my van still weaves/wanders a bit over bad road surfaces.It also has a tendancy to veer left mostly but sometimes right when coming to a gentle stop, depending on camber/road surface. There's also the same knocking when going over bump/potholes, that seems to be mostly induced from the n/s/f wheel area. Front end also seems to roll too much on cornering, and say if you go over speed humps when steering is in a turn right/left position. (ie - rocking from side to side) this can also cause the knocking.
April 1st 2014 - Went to a Citroen dealer today who checked it out and said I need a new rack, as they said the rack is what's knocking! I told them I'd only just had a new one fitted! Their diagnosis seems very odd to me, especially when the original rack which was replaced had nothing wrong with it.... Read more

If this is manual gearbox,then the only sensor I can think of ,located passenger side,low down!with a 3 pin connector,will be the reverse light / neutral gear position switch.it unscrews from the gearbox casing.
Subaru reduces BRZ price by £2500
"Subaru says the price reduction is a result of a more favourable exchange rate with the Japanese Yen."

The price cut will bring the BRZ to around £1100 less than the equivalent Toyota GT86 - until now the Toyota started at £25110 and the Subaru £26,495. The previous price difference must have worked against the BRZ, as they are effectively the same cars, and Toyota have a wider dealer network.
