Andy I used to live in Spain and travelled several times a year through southern France, the Pyrenees and northern Spain during blizzards, deep drifts and frozen ice. In your situation I recommend fitting to all 4 or none at all. The fronts need to be in control especially when steering and...

Colin, what sort of knock is it? does it coincide with wheel or propshaft RPM or does it only knock the once as you accelerate or decelerate in which case it could be a broken rubber mount on gearbox or associated drive train.

Kertir Sorry I forget to mention. Normally there is a coil fitted to the ignition rim but there wasn't one on my car but that doesn't stop the dealer from resetting the ECU to recognise your aftermarket unit when its operated. Your aftermarket unit may not fit a coil in the same place as the OE...

Can't say I have any experience with the TD5 but I was told that the light flashes according to the condition. I assume the fast flashing is a fault code. I was also told that you can emergency override the immobiliser using the ignition swith but you must have the code number. I can't promise...

Hi Kertir It would make sense to get the OE unit working first however if you cant you could use a simple solution. Buy any aftermarket alarm system that causes the horn or lights to operate when triggered. To connect it to the lights you must make certain that the voltage doesn't get back to...

Rogers of Bedford, 01234 348469 extention 240. (you may have to ring service several times as the boss is too tight to give them a secretary and they work so hard running around looking after their mechanics they never get time to answer the phone. :rolleyes: Don't leave messages!!! Make them...

I've never had an LPG fail on emissions unless it's running on dual fuel. My last LPG was a 300 Merc and it was the lowest emissions you could ever get. Are you sure the examiner was testing it for LPG because if he was and you had both LPG and petrol running at the same time it would fail

My advice is to bite the bullet. Remove it, clean up, Replace it. Good experience, lots of Vaseline, bit of string. Don't ask where to put it.

Frag DON'T assume the immobiliser is working. The sensor I'm talking about is a coil behind the rim where you insert your ignition key into the steering lock. If fitted it picks up the code in your key fob. If it's working you should see a small flashing LED light come on in the dash after you...

My 97 300tdi had a new headlining fitted just a couple of months ago by the dealer when I bought it from. It had the usual sag. The dealer had a tough job finding a new one which are about £400. some are sold on ebay including replacement roof lights but can cost a fortune. The dealer had a...

Mike, see flickering oil light, walk away from it unless you get some guarantees otherwise the only thing you'll be reaching for is your wallet

Like Yella Disco said, you must test the pressure sensor 1st. Best fit a oil pressure gauge on it but don't hold your hopes up. It's a sure sign of wear most likely from the pump but it could be any bearing surface beginning to give up. If it was me I wouldn't be towing until I knew what was...

Mondo - Boootiful wheeels:cool:

Guess all these eggs and the radiation are getting me scrambled. Anyone got a new yoke ;)

Most likely problem is a flat spot on yer tyre where its been standing for so long. (makes the tyre look egg/oval shaped) On a good tyre it might go back into shape but older tyres can easily deteriorate and if driven too hard it might cause the tread to seperate from the canvas. Take into a...

Jason2, you might want to check out these deals. http://www.lowcostcaraudio.co.uk/index.php Alpine for iPod and JVC for USB

Wouldn't it be madder still if they sent it over here to be sold as NEW!!!

I assume it turns ok for you to get it to the tilt so the winder cant be stuck. The problem I think is with the way it carries out the next stage. My front unit was exactly the same when I got it. Fortunately it did go to the next stage with a bit of a clunk until I found that the screws were...

Hi Jason2 Story is my Landy 300tdi is from Japan. It has the Radio/cassette with CD changer under the drivers seat but the radio is tuned to receive Japanese frequencies. It had a Frequency shifter fitted which allows me to get UK frequencies but the display on the radio gives the wrong...

My front roof opens the same as the rear, both in two stages. there are four small torque type screws fitted through slots in the frame to hold the glass. These allow positioning and they may be loose causing the glass to move about. If this happens it can prevent the mechanism from moving into...
