    Large shed on boundary

    About 7foot. My concerns were... Can a building be built so near to my premises? It actually covers one of my rear windows. I now have no access to maintenance. I was never informed the shed was to be built Are neighbours actually allowed to fit items to my garage premises rear wall (clothes...

    Movano problem.

    What didn't work? Surely the technician could read the scanner??? If they cleared the dtc faults and they came back immediately (before starting engine) it's in the wiring or ecu... or not cleared properly. If the fault code returned when engine was running they could then go on to diagnose...

    Large shed on boundary

    My neighbour has build a large flat top wooden shed across the width of his property and right across the boundary. My Garage business which has been running since 1984 has windows all around the perimeter but his shed actually covers one of them! The gap between my concrete wall and his wood...

    Try a better brand/quality 5w40 fully synthetic... Flush engine first and obviously use a new filter

    Get the car running well then get shot. Seems to be what the previous owner did.

    Movano problem.

    Probably coolant sensor or air mass meter... Got too hot. Use a diagnostic tester to check and clear all dtc's. Taking battery off won't always reset the ecu and could actually cause more issues (especially on newer vehicles)

    Cat S cars - too dodgy? SKODA Octavia 2011 £4k

    Do VOSA still ask for Vic testing? They closed down our local testing unit so maybe they're only carried out at main depots?

    Warning flashing up on car screen

    Possibly your diesel vehicle has an "Addblue" system fitted for the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Or, if not the vehicle may need to be regenerated by running to operating temperature and then drive for 20/30 min with the engine revs at around 2500/3000 RPM. This should put the ecu into regen...

    Cat S cars - too dodgy? SKODA Octavia 2011 £4k

    Hi all, Just to say (having been motor trade for over 40+yrs and 30 running my own body shop). My advise to buying a Cat N or S (structural repair necessary.. non structural repair necessary). If the vehicle you are looking at seems to be to good to be true, then it probably is. Always take a...

    How can I repair a broken mirror housing

    Don't waste your time & money. Glue will only last for so long then fall apart.. and it will look awful. Either buy a new cover and get it painted or find a used part in the same colour as your car
