Hi trying to sort my sons car out, any suggestions gratefully received as I don't know whether to spend money or just cut it loose.
Sons car starting to either rev very high or drop suddenly. Throttle body unit has been replaced as was reporting fault and engine was revving wildly. Engine still revving between 100 & 2000 RPM with no throttle pedal movement. Diagnostics showing weird errors such as ABS fault, brake light fault.
Auto electrician suggest that faulty throttle body unit may have damaged ECU or Body control module.
He suggests couple of companies local to me that may be able to reprogram these units to clear issues?
Then reading on here someone was saying it could be HASS MAP any help would be gratefully received, as unfortunately mums money tree is wilting :) Read more
Think you’re jumping the gun here . It could be a fault with the brake light switch. A fault with this can cause erratic idle problems. The switch is an easy and cheap fix .

Driving is an essential skill, but it costs a fair amount of money to learn to drive, pass your test and buy your first car. We need to be careful that we don't make it so expensive that only young people from wealthy families can afford to learn to drive. That would lead to more people driving without a licence, more car theft, and less safe roads. Read more
... I do however think it insane that learners can pass their test without ever having driven on a motorway, that should be part of the learning process....
Yes, it is nonsense that an inexperienced unaccompanied driver can get onto a motorway and play dodgems with the fast lane lunatics!...
Good, hopefully this will encourage more domestic purchases and less imports Read more
Just look at the mess the EU has made of the roll out of the vaccine and compare it to our roll out and you still think we should be in the EU ?
Hi Honest John
It appears the the recall for Citroen C3 only applies to 1.2 petrol engines. So my dealer tells me.
Do you have any other information about this?
I look forward to hearing from you. Read more
We had to have our timing belt replaced on our peugeot 308 on the 22nd Jan 2021. It was disintegrating. We got the recall on the 11 Feb 2021. Should Peugeot refund us for the repair?
Not so fast drmiles, you haven’t replied to my response on your other post yet. Patience is a virtue..

With cars like the Rolls Royce Cullinan and Bentley Bentayga pushing the bounderies of how ugly a car can get, it was with some surprise I came upon a car which makes the above two look like swans.
The Aznom Palladium, heard of it?, no?, hardly surprising being handbuilt in Italy in very small numbers (by that I mean ten of them!) to each owners personal specification.... Read more
My choice for the car that got beaten by the ugly stick is the Nissan Juke (joke?).
Some journo commented that it looks like Darth Vader's helmet that got sat on by an elephant!...
Looking at one of the latest generation 508sw in a GT line spec. Looks to be some cracking deals out there at the moment. Anyone had any experience ? Problems? Also size wise how do they compare the data suggests the boot is the same size as my 5 series estate? Read more
The silver ones are ‘shortcut’ buttons that take you straight to the relevant screen. The black ones below them are heated seats, demist, HRW and recirculate.
And people tend to forget that voice command works pretty well by pushing one button on the steering wheel.

You mean like Formula 1 car type rigid? They use carbon extensively on chassis and suspension components.
