My sons' 1997 Fiesta came with a black and a red key. I understand that the red key can be used to program the immobiliser chip in replacement black keys. The drivers door lock and boot lock are both dodgy, even after lubrication. I bought a complete new lock set (both doors, ignition, boot and petrol cap) on eBay with the intention of using the new locks but matching them to the old keys...

http://smallr.com/8b5 Looks tidy, bit leggy and fabric. But looks ok. Just mooching again. Not looking to buy yet, the Saab goes in for an oil service end of the month when I'm back from my Holiday.

A frienmd of mine has just bought herself a 2002 Polo 1.4 HDi and is wondering whether it can safely run on vegetable oil. Anybody know the definitive answer? I know she could just try it but I believe some of the more expensive potential damage takes a while to show up...

Just been to look at this for the daughter, 57k miles, but n/s sill rusted through. Vendor to try to get it patched, but I am worried the rest of the sills may go soon, perhaps not undersealed properly? Anyone know if these cars prone to rotting so young? I have had Vauxhalls the last 20 years - no knowledge of Ford!

Hello Group, I've been having an occasional misfire recently. It doesn't happen on every journey, but when it does it's like a learner kangaroo-hopping, and just lasts a couple of seconds. It doesn't happen across the rev range, only between idle and about 2,500 revs. Above 2,500 it doesn't happen. I can blast down the motorway and it never occurs. My mileage is limited to short journeys,...

'94 525i E34. 180k Pretty certain that a rattle on starting from cold that lasts for a few minutes is coming from the single VANOS, rather than from the hydraulic cam followers. Apart from the startup rattle the engine seems in excellent condition. Pulls well. Quiet, and needs no oil between oil changes. I could probably do the job myself, but would rather have it done

My daughter has an astra, which has central locking by the key, not remote. A strange thing is happening to it. About 1 time out of 10, the drivers door lock won't work. The key won't turn, it feels solid, I won't force it. After all, it's an M reg car, you expect a bit of stuff going wrong. This bit isn't the thing that's confuzzling me though. I simply go round to the passenger side and...

I have a L reg MX-6 2.5 V6, it has a 'they all do that sir' fault with the distributor which is going to cost me at least £100 to fix. It is out of MOT, though it should pass without too much trouble as it has done VERY little work since it's last one. Cosmetically it's a good example, but given lack of time, the fact that the car is worth little and fuel prices I can't decide whether to just...

On Sunday I shall be picking up what certain people consider to be a slightly tuned VW beetle... And because I'm a firm believer in the quality of German engineering (or just plain daft), I'll be taking said vehicle to Germany and France. Oh well, the insurance *does* include breakdown cover. Late 911 Carrera 3.2 Targa with an entirely believeable 60k on the clock.

I'm a bit of an imposter on this group as my DIY car maintenance days are long since gone. However there may be someone out there who can advise me. Yesterday I was driving our X reg Fiesta when suddenly I was unable to get all the gears. There was no warning and no crunching sounds or anything like that. I stopped at some lights and when I pulled away I had all the gears again. Shortly...

i was driving home the other night and as present diesel prices have gone through the roof i was driving very carefully ie with an eye to fuel conservation. as i pulled away from traffic lights the engine cut out and would not restart.i tried over and over to start the engine but apart from a few coughs it would not go.i called for roadside assistance and sat waiting for them to arrive. after...

Engine needs a little work to get it A1, but it should cut your commute times :) -- Tony Bond / UncleFista www.bradford7.co.uk

Had a go in the 750i tonight - he got it home today. It's been a while since I drove a decently large engine and I had forgotten what it feels like. Not that I've ever driven anything larger than a 3.5 before. I've driven underpowered petrol engines for a couple of years now and do occasionally hanker after the lazy grunt of a turbo diseasal. TD engines maybe do feel grunty after a normally...

The new Nissan Micras, 03-onwards. Do they use a timing chain, as for the K11 Micra? Or is it a timing belt? Do any other of the modern small hatchbacks use a timing chain? Thanks Bruce

Hi I couldn't find a recent post on this problem so I will make a new post : ** My '98 Passat (1.8 20v estate) battery goes flat if left parked for 2-3 days. ** If I drive it every day - no problems. As soon as it is not driven the battery goes so flat it can barely light the dashboard lights.

Hi all, my diesel Transit (N reg 160k miles 2.5 litre) just failed the MOT on its emissions. I've been told that the 30% cooking oil in the fuel may have been the problem. Other than using this up and filling with fresh diesel, is there anything else I can do to try and get it through the MOT? Cheers

Hi Folks, I have a P10 Nissan Primera and would like any pointers on a charging issue I have. I have an intermittent flashing battery/charging light that comes on while engine is running. I have inspected the belt tension, replaced brushes/regulator and wiring and still have the issue.

I'm removing the cat from the Chimaera, which required a EPROM change in the ECU. TVR (in their infinite wisdom) have different cat/none cat chips, which is daft as you are supposed to just change the tune resistor to select the correct map. Anyway, it got me thinking, what can I do with an ECU? So I don't waste to much time in the research department, does anyone know of, or can point me...

I posted a few weeks back asking about reliability and safety of using 12V car cigarette-lighter adapters for mobile phones, laptops etc (and IIRC generated a major sh*tstorm as a result...!) Anyway here's a followup to the query... I decided to acquire a car adapter for my new notebook PC (an Asus EEE PC900) to enable it to be used to double as a DVD player for the kids on long journeys.

I've officially decided that I hate exhuasts. Both cars are suffering with problems, and both are causing me headaches. The SD1 has a strange raspy/metallic knocking noise (hard to describe) when you hit about 3.5krpm. It's been suggested than a slight exhaust blow early on in the system could cause such a noise, so I've been taking it all apart and replacing downpipes and gaskets. The...

I appear to have bought a 156 2.0 Veloce 2 Selespeed Sportwagon. Black, with tan leather. 56 plate, but some kind of dodgy import that sat around in a warehouse for a few years before sale, but only 9.7 miles and 1 owner from new. Bargain-tastic price, too. Collecting this weekend.....

Decided it was time to fit the new glow plugs in my Peugeot 306D this morning, unfortunately the 4th one refused to budge and since patience eluded me I've rounded the nut off it. (I think it was because the engine had cooled down by the time I got to that one ) Anyway, is there an hope of getting this one out or will the car start ok with just three ? I've measured the resistance of the 3 that...

Any views on these? The good, the bad, and the ugly? is the engine Mazda's own or a ford lump? what to check for if looking one over with a consideration to buy? common faults? any thing else similar that's worth a look?

Anyone know what mpg you should get with this Saab? My father only seems to get about 26-35 which can't be much different to the petrol. Anyone know who makes the engine?

Hi, A mate's diesel BMW 320d on a 52 plate has just had it's engine rebuilt by a 3rd party garage after cambelt failure and we reckon it's running really badly. My OBDII scanner connects to it OK and shows 3 fault codes: P0C38 C2B18

So, today, my mate comes round, and whizzes the bottom off the engine to take a look at exactly what's happened. After a half an hour or so, he comes in muttering "you lucky ******* ... " with a couple of halves of shell in his hand. What had happened is that the shells had worn badly on number 1, which is where the initial rattle had been coming from. When it failed completely, a mile from...

I have lost my code and want to restore to factory default SERIAL NO BP216120869286 MODEL 7642161310

My 94 corolla with 105 K miles on the clock developed a tapping/clicking sound; which to me in my ignorance sounded like a tappet or small end. So it's round to our local ' Mr Whiz', who listens, listens more, revs up and listens some more. Then he whips out the WD-40, sprays it at the alternator.... Noise gone, smiles all round, and off I go. Perhaps someone might educate a novice about...

Just doing the usual nose arround ebay to see if there was anything remotley interesting jap to post on the retro rides ebay thread. But got drawn to the modernish Toyota/Lexus listings as you do. Now I'm loving the Saab at the moment. Apart from the AC being a bit dicky and blowing warm because the inside of the car is warm despite being gassed and holding, since I fitted that cheap...
