Hi,
I bought an engine but as delivered no injection pump, can I use the injection pump on my old one? I was asked by the mechanic that he will check if it needs decoding. I want help for those who knew about this. Thanks Read more

You can use the old pump,which is the easiest option,with no coding required..But you need to make sure it fits the bracket on the engine block as there are a few variations.

Generally the place to fight a summons, once issued, is at the Court mentioned at the time date and place stipulated.

Maybe I picked the dodgy one!

Down the years I've spoken to plenty of recovery men (I've had a fair number of break downs in various cars), and they're usually a good source on info about unreliable makes and models. Afterall, they come to recover hundreds of vehicles a year, so build up a picture of what's what....

I have a three month old Mazda 3 bought on a pcp deal. My wife has just driven it into a wall! Actually it was only at 1 mph and it has jest left three 1cm scuffs along the bonnet rim.

Good experience here with Chips Away. Needed to sort a bumper scuff and a bit of paint on a lease car. Done well, lease company couldn't detect the repair. Practical issue: they need clear road or driveway to work if they are working at your premises.

Does this mean that a certificate has to be electronically sent and RETAINED on the smart phone?...
