Hi guys,

looking for some help with diagnosing an issue on my BMW 330i N53.

I have recently had a rough idle/misfire problem on my car, i replaced the spark plugs in an attempt to try and solve the issue, however i had to swap back to the old ones as i purchased the wrong plugs, i did notice that the bank 1 plugs were very sooty, also the misfires are occurring in cylinders 1 to 3, mainly cylinder 3.

Anyway i put the car back together and left it how it was, i then had the engine light come on with a P0430 code (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2)) and so i then logged the O2 sensors, here are the graphs for bank 1 and 2 respectively:

It seems strange that I'm having issues with bank 1 but the fault code that could cause the issues I'm having is with bank 2.

Could it be just coincidence?

What do you guys think? Read more

Ok, I just bought a 2004 (old) focus 1.8 tdci. I have a problem with the wipers. When I pull the wiper stalk towards me which should give a wash and wiper, I just get the squirt and no wipe (pretty dangerous). When I push the button on the end of the stalk I get a squirt at the rear screen and wipe at the front! I'm guessing it's a crossed wires matter.

Any advice would be greatly received, I'm no mechanic so please be as straight forward as possible. Huge thanks Read more

The RoadHawk HD is an excellent camera, I've had one for 3 years with no issues. The HD2 however is an entirely different story. The footage at Super HD is superb, however I've now had 3, yes THREE cameras fail after a week of use and refusing to power on.

Speaking to RoadHawk they acknowledge an issue with the firmware and say an upgrade to 3.7 will stop it happening. My third camera I upgraded following their instructions, lo and behold after a week that stopped powering on too.

Such as shame, seeing has as the HD has proved itself to be a most reliable product. I shall be looking to other manufacturers from now on, the HD2 is hopeless. Read more

Hi I had a stressful in the last 2 weeks problem with my Punto 1.9JTD 84,000 miles on the clock year 53 Reg, I was try to sell but the warning light come on speedometer yellow icon coil with error code P0380 Glow Plug/Heater Circuit "A" Malfunction. But the light flash for 10 second then it go off, the engine start fine no struggle or rough idle. I have took it to Chelmsford Fiat dealer to find out the problem. At afternoon had phone call from them to said they have not got a clue what is wrong with this car as they check glow plugs by something call multimeter is fine and relay is function fine, the loom was terrible condition so they swap for new one but still flash same code. Makes me think they are not good service garage so I try other Bury St Edmunds Fiat dealer other day. I had a phone call from them, they explain exactly same story at the pervious Chelmsford dealer which they don't really know cause of this and he said same problem on 1.9JTD 8v engine from Vauxhall, Saab, Alfa that he had been deal with P0380 before most of those have not solved problem. I went to make new appointment Auto vehicle electrical workshop near my home, nice chap he was try very hard to find the cause of P0380 still not find, he said may relation to EGR valve clot up or water coolant thermostat sensor fault because that share same wire to relay mount

But is that true?... Read more
