dont set them to tight its probably your injectors ticking and not the tappets

try the forsale section

could be a chance that one of the little lights is not working!

i had quite a lot of these faults your describing on my old 320 auto, and i put an ecu on it in the end, and it ran fine and still is! im not saying this is the fault with yours but if you had one readily avaliable might be worth a try

cheers ash

no worries!

look in the meets section mate

saw you guys in the car park on the road towards burley! would have stopped of but was with a load of people! looked good all parked up there

you can either use the tool, or a short peice of wire in the diag plug, cant remember the pins, but there is a lot of threds on this try a search mate

purley because i hadnt seen the thread! granted not everyone knows everything, i just found it odd a mechanic didnt know where spark plugs were, no need to take offence

true but for a mechanic not to know is a bit odd lol

because your using text speak

used to be a mechanic but cant find the plugs lol

very unlikely to have damaged something, im sure its 4.5 they take anyway! its an m20 it will leak out anyway, but if tou have payed the man to do a job, take it back

i know a tech down there and he cant get disscount for me, he can only have disscount if the parts for him! iv not had much from them but they are tight when it comes to that

its only a door handle lol, even if its goes so badly wrong a new one is pennys

If you insert a cocktail stick into the bootlock, angle it at about 30 degrees upwards the tip will locate in a small hole, lift the stick vertical and then push the key past it, turn the key slightly to the right and then left very quickly, this usually works. In your dreams boy, 1 post on a forum...

well ur link didnt work so it was just a guess at the switch tbh

its not ment to be pressed, if the windows have a childs head in them or simular it wil trip and that button will need to be pressed to get them working again.

its a trip for the front windows

the solution would be a new one, and i have no idea how much a new one is tbh so cant help on that bit

pictures will help people give u a rough price

pretty sure the consoles are the same

mine passed all though i do know the tester, but as long as the beam is within the limits i cant see them being a problem, if your worried put your old bulbs in for the mot

come to think of it, i cant think of a decent specialist in the bournemouth area tbh

im going to guess inhibiter (spelling) switch is at fault especially if u go from neutral to park and it will start

nope not me

roughly 12v or so with it of, and running about 13-13.5v depending on how good your altenator is!

rear is easier then the front

i would prob go for a 40 drop, mine is 60 and its not the most praticle tbh

i have pm'd you mate

brought ecu of marc

no faults and good price top bloke very helpful

cheers ash

any obvious leaks? if there isnt then it will be burning it.

it would show 177k

edit: im to slow

its an aftermarket alarm so nothing special!

hopefully when i get hold of the relay that will cure it!

just seems strange that dissconnecting the battery it started up again fine! thats what made me think an ecu fault

cheers ash

ok cheers i'll get my self one! has anyone got the part number for one? just to make it easier

it has got an alarm but no immobiliser as far as im aware!

cheers ash
