Hey guys, I've got one of these, a 2008 model, running rough and flashing all sorts of lights on the dash telling me to stop. My super cheap Autel diagnostic device is throwing up the code for No 3 cylinder injector open circuit. This seems a likely culprit for the problem. Anyone here ever done...

1998 1.9. I've got a very annoying problem with my power steering. The metal pipes that sit on top of the rack and connect the control valve to the piston housing are rotten, and one is leaking fluid. The pipes look as if they have a standard 12mm flange nut connection at each end. However, the...

Anyone got and use one? If so, what's the verdict?

Hi guys, anyone got any experience of UK based electronic instrument cluster repair firms? There's a few offering send/repair/return services so I'd love to hear any tales. Positive preferably!

Without wanting to fag up that other thread any further, a quick thanks to Motman for this useful post (And this one) Job's a good 'un. I did use the locking tools in the end which involved taking the rocker cover off, however after installation of the new parts and several engine rotations...

Ok, I'm weighing up whether to get one of these cars, it has 100 oddK on the clock and is a really nice car. The airbag light is on and I want to get a diagnostic tool to check this and reset the light, plus do all the other modules on it. Any recommendations? I don't mind spending a few quid...

Hi chaps, I'm planning on putting a new cam belt and associated bits on my 1998 Peugeot Boxer 1.9 non turbo. I planned on doing this job about 10 years ago but you know how it is! Anyway, at that time I actually bought a belt from a main dealer while I was in there. It's a Dayco belt in a...

I've got a Fiesta that won't start which is annoying as someone was coming to buy it and it's always run fine before although it has been standing doing nothing on a relative's drive for a while. It's a '96 SI petrol, 1.25 zetec engine. I tried starting it in the dark last night and while a...

I'm planning on putting a new DHW heat exchanger on my boiler tomorrow to replace the leaking original. Looks straightforward enough, but apparently if it is a hybrid model I need to cut a connection on the pcb. What is the difference, and is there a quick way to identify whether I have a hybrid...

Anyone know what this coating is? It's on a chalet bungalow, circa 1970, and the walls are rendered breeze block. The render's all solid, but areas where the paint is bubbling up have this failing coating under the paint. It's about 4mm thick.

I just bought a new trolley jack from Halfords, this one in fact, it's a heavy thing but nice and solid. However, all the jacks I've had or used before have allowed quite sensitive and slow lowering of whatever has been on them, handy for letting axle stands slowly take the strain if you see...

Hi chaps, I just got a tailgate from a breaker for my Scenic, (Mk1 facelift) to replace my dented one and fitted it yesterday. Now, I've had this car for a few years, but until yesterday I didn't realise that the tailgate window opens independently of the tailgate! Needless to say, the one I've...

Cripes, bit pricey this stuff! Are there any suitable alternatives that are a bit more reasonable? Also, where do you get the little short haired rollers to apply it with from?

Hi guys, my boxer is getting through outer cv boots at an unsustainable rate! Is this a common problem with these vans? I'm fitting them correctly, it's difficult not to, but I haven't been using Peugeot ones. I've got two split ones now which aren't even two years old. Will genuine ones perform...

Anyone here know the nut size of the front bush on the wishbone of this vehicle? My Britool 17mm combi wouldn't go on, and I didn't have an 18mm so went and got a Torq one from B and Q, the only place open. It seems pretty shoddy quality to me, and the fit is very sloppy. I don't want to put any...

Hi guys, I've got a 1996 1.25 Zetec, Mark 4 Fiesta which has been garaged unused for 5 or 6 years. It's booked to be tested the day after tomorrow and the headlights weren't working. Fuses and relay are fine. I checked the easier to access offside bulb which was blown and so bought a couple of...

A few weeks ago I rendered a few internal window reveals with sand and cement and water mixed (in the correct proportions) with this waterproofer. I tipped out what was left in the bucket on to a carrier bag and forgot about it. Yesterday morning, for an experiment, I partially submerged a few...

I have issues with cold starting on my Boxer at the moment which is clearly a glow plug problem. The light in the cab indicating operation started to go intermittently, and now doesn't come on at all. When it worked the van started fine. My instincts tell me this is more likely to be a relay...

As per title, skimming over walls with the old wooden angle formers, which are handy @ right angles for fixing new galvanised beads. How do you chaps make them fit to other angles? I can imagine just pushing them into an obtuse angle and fixing while holding tight, but what about acute? Do you...

Anyone here use this stuff, and if so how does it compare to Thistle Bond-it?
