Claiming for a windscreen on your insurance does not affect your no claims. Rob

From 90,000 miles. 1) Relay to indicators fails in the on position, turning the o/s indicators on (not flashing) £10 2) Injector harness fails, giving a missfire. Both injector and engine bay harness changed as car going to south France the following week. £250. 3) Head gasket failure whilst...

Simon, things I noticed from the photo's and description: 1) No Aircon, it will be like sitting in a goldfish bowl in summer 2) Rusty load securing ring o/s front, the roof probably leaks. 3) Rear tailgate hinges look rusty. 4) Looks like some wiring loose under the drivers seat. 5) Radio...

To reduce NOx on a compression ignition engine it is necessary to change the exhaust gas - two main technologies are used for this - selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and NOx (NOx) traps (or NOx Adsorbers). Ah, yes. Also known as Adblue, used by a number of commercial vehicle...

Tax? what the f*ck's tax?

Only in one eye though.....

Yeah, and I probably die from boredom too. Funny how you HGV drivers moan your arse off about speed limiters one minute then quote the driving like a nun experience the next. If you can't afford to put the juice in it, don't drive it. Rob PS. Merry f'kin chistmas.

It's either one of two things. Electrical fault ie: sensor faulty, wiring earthing down, or you have little or no oil pressure. I'd advise putting a wet gauge on it to see what pressure you have. Rob

Boost sensor is probably plastered in ****e from the ERG. Your manufold will also be caked in it too. Ditch the EGR valve, and clean your sensor up and it should be ok. I took the manufold off mine and steam cleaned it out. Rob

This is VERY illegal in this country. After reading the write up on this 'mervellous new invention' what a load of sh!te. A thermal crown on the top of the piston? Like carbon you mean? people used to pay for this to be removed as it f*ck up the combustion process, were we all wrong all along...

Back-bleed the clutch. Open the bleed nipple on the gearbox end and let the fluid out. get yourself a windscreen washer motor and some rubber pipe to fit, put one end in a tin of brake fluid and to the input of the motor, and the output of the motor to the slave cylinder bleed nipple on the...

They have, both Volvo and Scania run a system they call turbo compound, where you have a conventional turbo, with a gear system linking it directly to the flywheel. There is bugger all turbo lag and they fly. Suprised it hasn't been used on others yet, but I suspect a copyright on some part of...

My central heating went wrong and cost me a lot of money too, but I wouldn't want to not have that either...

Espace? Easy to service yourself? Have you ever seen the cambelt on the diesel one? Holy Sh!t, no thanks. I'd also avoid any of the people carriers where the engines under the floor, not bloody funny either, the Toyota was a noteable ****e also. We looked at loads of options before buying a...

Had this with an FM9 last week. Take the intake pipe off fron the turbo and have a look inside, you'll probably find the centre shaft for the turbo's in 2 halves or the impellor has shattered. If not, might be the boost sensor up the creek. Good luck, Rob

I'd fit one on each opposite corner... and let me know where we can find the salvage...

If the fuses are OK, then start checking relays, swap them round and see if ones faulty. Rob

Slob, Jags take some right ****, I drove a V12 XJS that decided to turn into a V11 from Birmingham to Stourbridge. When the head came off there was a big hole in the top of No 9. Smoked a bit mind..... Rob

Take the lid off the battery cover, look down at the ECU, and admire all the oil in there, then order and engine harness inside the head. You will need to clean the oil out of the under bonnet loom, brake cleaner did mine well. Rob

It probably putting the charge back in your battery. Take it out for a decent run then measure again.
