Replaced the batteries a few months ago in both my two remote fobs. Both have worked perfectly until today when one of them failed. It is completely dead and will not lock or unlock, the other fob is still perfect so the car is receiving a signal. Has anyone any ideas on what may be the trouble...

Almost certainly it's the heater matrix. There is a large ribbed hose feeding the heater, feel the bottom of it and see if your hand is wet. We had a slow leak from ours for about a year, never got any worse but being a V6 we constantly watch coolant level and finally decided to replace the...

Up to 03 it's relatively easy, 04's and on the two front bolts can be awkward. Need a good 13mm socket if they have not been touched for a long while or if the garage did them up with air.

Anyone wanting an unbiased MOT centre at Welwyn, Herts could try this: Royton Express Deliveries (Welywn) Ltd They only do MOT's, no repairs or tyres sold,etc. so have no interest in failures. Did my MOT, pass with no advisories and no problems, just £40. I've no connection with the place, just...

[/I] Above price was one year ago, tyre prices are now higher and moving up.

Have just replaced two Michelin with Pirelli Scorpion STR's @ £98 each. Cannot tell any difference in use. My son has done the same with 17" tyres and says the STR's are noisier. Hope this helps.

Our 2003 50k miles V6 leaked. Over a year we were topping up 150/200 ml a fortnight. Check passenger footwell for damp carpets. Hope yours is ok, it's an expensive matrix and job.

Hope it's not the heater matrix.

I wonder what % of new car buyers know if they are getting a belt or chain?

It's the last 3 numbers - instead of 224 you should use 367. IIRC.

Exceeding speed limit indication?

Not so easy. It's the bracket on the door PILLAR not the bar that is at fault.

My drivers door makes a load clicking noise when opening/closing. It seems the small bracket that sticks out from the door pillar and holds the check link now springs sideways and makes the noise. I cannot see how to get at this bracket to discover what is wrong, any help would be appreciated...

And still on the unchanged auto fluid!

Our satnav problems completely disappeared after fitting a new battery. We wasted time checking connections etc. The unit needs a good steady power supply.

Heater matrix difficult to access. Delicate sunroof mechanism. V6 cambelt instead of chain.:(

It certainly is a good read. Many thanks Blippie.
