• Electronic Ignition Fault - 406 90HDi 24 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  The garage doing the recovery were very keen to take it to their own premises, said they had seen several Peugeots with the same fault recently, and it was the fuel pump above the tank every time. They even logged the reported fault as "fuel pump". The auto-electricians found a fault code indicating an imobiliser fault, and suggested possibly a bad connection, faulty key, or the sensor unit which clips rond the lock barrel.

• Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - 98 1.4 Multiple misfire under load 23 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  I changed one thing at a time and after each change there was an improvement but the problem wasn't solved and the improvement didn't last long. Could it be a blocked/damaged Cat from the neat fuel as the misfire has been happening a while now, or an exhaust manifold leak or a faulty lambada or engine temp sensor? Or maybe a fuel problem? Or something else altogether? Any help really appreciated - I'm not sure what to try next and can't afford to just change everything!
