No work currently undertaken, did the same last week and the garage asked if we had taken the battery off as there was 33 fault codes associated with this. Just wondered if a dodgy battery was the root cause and this had a knock on effect

Have sluggish starting and after it running there is a delayed response from the throttle. Stop and start again and it usually clears. Now the engine light is on, what could be causing this?

Morning all, rececently I have noticed when going round a round-about that there is a rubbing sound from the drivers side rear wheel area. Do you think the wheel bearing is shot, it does not happen all of the time, just when going round a sharpish right hand bend. Please lets not get into the...

This may be a bit technical for some to understand so I will change the question, how difficult is it to change the rear suspension bushes?

Had a look at it last weekend and it is the white nylon clip that holds the motor in place that has broken. I can only think that the drive needed lubricating and as it wasn't and it became stiffer the motor twisated in such a way as to fianlly snap this piece. Without taking the facia off I...
