My sensors emit a high pitched loud sound as soon as I put the car in reverse, it then is intermittent but frequent drowning out the standerd low beep, beep which is supposed to be there. Lucky I can switch them off to maintain sanity but it renders them unusable. any ideas?

It seems my window mechanism has given up the ghost. At first I though it just needed calibration as a new starter motor has been fitted so the battery has obviously been disconnected. This work was carried out by mechanics at my wife's work, a transport company. So I went through the motions...

I opened my tool box recess at the weekend only to find it nearly full of water. I cannot find any way this could happen, has any one else any ideas or have had similar experience.

What are possible scenarios because of this, after reading the owners manual it seems it is probably braking as I get intermittent jerking while driving.

My 1.8i seems to have an intermittent fuel starvation or supply control problem. When running it sometimes jerks quite badly but does not do this all the time. The problem seems worse when you take your foot off the throttle. The other day I drove from home in Invergarry to Fort William with no...

Yesterday after laying overnight and most of the day my 1.8 3 door seemed to have some clutch slip (engine revs climb then settle), but disappeared after the vehicle warmed up a a little (within 3 miles of driving). It has done 113k miles so probably original clutch. I have only had it for 20k...

But before you start blaming the catalyst and sensors. This has only started after a new exhaust was fitted along with a new lambda sensor to my 2001 51 plate 3 door 1.8i. after the first two resets from the garage I bought a cheaper scan tool (£25) and have reset the code around 5 times since...

Just ordered some Avon ZV5 (4 off) for my 3 door. Have always had Avon tyres on my bikes, and on the 5 different BMW saloons I have had, ran Toyo Proxies on the MGF I sold to buy the Land Rover. Because the size is 225x55x17 it seems find in a good all terrain tyre (70-30) is very difficult...

Recently had a new exhaust, cat and lambda sensor fitted, at same time plugs were cleaned and reset. have done approx 75 miles since this was done and now the emissions light has come on. The light goes off for around half a second then comes on and stays on, the engine is running smoothly with...

I know that it is desirable to fit new tyres four at a time however my 3 door has fairly newish tyres on the back and older tyres on the front, this was the case when I bought it last year. I have managed 10 000 miles since March last year the front now look like they are close to needing...

Just noticed my 3 door has winter tyres on the rear and the front tyres have no description summer or winter, seems a bit odd but that is how they were when i bought it last year. If i need to remove the winter tyres (summer running) guess i'll have to buy 4 new tryes now and 4 new winter ones...

When in for its MOT I was told my reversing lights which are not working are not necessary to pass an MOT. Seems a bit scary to me. Any way I decided to inspect and try and find out why. Fuse and globes are ok but seems no voltage to the revering lights, I suspect the switch that must be...

I replaced the Blaupunkt CD/Radio in my Freelander with an Alpine CDE-113BT from Halfords yesterday swopping was very simple and setup for bluetooth for phone very easy as well. However when playing a CD to setup balance and fader it became apparent that the font speakers (all 4) were not...
