Having had a load of trouble from using a cleaner that hardened the Pump seals (FIP). On replacing the bits and starting the engine, the message centre is slowly increasing the mpg. But I have no faith in text messages. The pump is controlled by both the ECU and the position of the lower wafer...

To err is Human, to really muck things up, requires a Computer. K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid.

Terms or Phrases used by today's designers, (I would like to call them Engineers, but that does mean getting your hands dirty, making something.) Lazy locking has got to be the yanks or those Japs. I've forgot what it was called on my opel, but it was a german system. But I can switch mine off...

Are you with the AA or RAC ? I take out a legal Insurance to help recover my losses in this sort of thing. I find that the Insurance claims can be a rip you off charter. As for your filter it's a bit difficult with today's tree hugger's having a vehicle in a workshop leaking fuel over the floor...

Well I had a heated discussion with a wooden top (Police Officer of minor rank). Have they developed a, let's muck up everyone's day with placing no diversion signs up and instead drawing you into a right muck up. WHAT A KNOB (sorry, other good Police Officers are available, although in short...

When I got the P38, I checked over the brakes and the numpty had put metric m8 threaded bolts on the UNF caliper slide pins and L/R include Silicon grease now, not copper grease. it pays to check the free running of the threads, even with locktight you should not need to over tighten them. Most...

Heater control units on some Rover group vehicles, use a vacuum.

I must admit my Father was in Insurance and he would be astounded at the hikes in premiums. Careful drivers are paying for those that aren't right to be on the road. When I hear of people passing a test, having several smashes (not minor knocks) in their first year. Then there is something wrong...

I get this all the time, it's using a spybot and you are just another name on a list. they start at a 10,000 addresses and work the machine to add characters. Now the worst thing to do is open the mail as it has a telltale embedded to say it's a live address. Then they sell off your address and...

Please can you state which area you are in, a rough area will do. You may need a hand and have someone within a short distance with the right gear. Please help yourself. We all need a hand from time to time. State the vehicle type, fuel, engine size and age as well. Loads of useful people on...

Temp sensors are engine (ECU fuel) under manifold, Air temp in the manifold near the front and Fuel temp sensor within the FIP under the top lid. Before the FIP was moved did you carefully scratch a couple of marks on the pump ? This adjustment is very small and the ECU has to adjust, everytime...

Right the filter (RF) not good enough for the need to be discriminating of the spurious signals, But I have found the BeCM is woken up by a wander phone signal. Got a gizmo that detects RF signals now and searched until the source was found. So hopefully no BeCM's playing up. Car's OK if parked...

Somewhere on here or the web, told of problems with the front motors burning out due to staying on too long. I have had problems with the front doors, yet the rear motors are Ok. So where do you get the motors from and the switches please. I have a alternative to the door locks in mind, it's in...

I had the same when I bought mine, it had four new bags and shocks all round. I kept using the height adjustment and put it fully up (stationary) and lowered it to the bottom overnight for a few days. This must have settled the settings and as stated cleaned the tracks. Worth a try.

Now I am going to revel myself are you ready ? lol. I'm a Auto Sparks and ex Army REME VM II. Can I suggest you get a copy of RAVE, a download is available FREE on the web. Google RAVE free download or on here. Just looked at my copy and the codes for the wiring and diagrams are there. I got my...

Looking at the clean engine bay and the shine. He has used a spray on the engine etc. I wonder if the sports air filter is clogged with a engine vanish. I think you can wash that type out and redo them with the K&N special oil. I have a diesel and since the tank pump was replaced I have gained...

It's alright they based it on a P38
