It may have it, but unsure and I don't know how to use it

it is 2008 transit. the engine management light is on even before I bought it two years ago

The symptom look very similar to that due to faulty TPS. I will try to reset it by disconnect the battery if it get better

I also think the symptom might be caused by the EGR valve as perfect driving on the motorway. However, I am a bit worried that it could be cylinder scuffing, since the van has been burning oil for a long time, probably long before I bought it. I haven't taken the van to a garage to check yet

The service was done last October or November, but only the oil was changed. For some reason, the mechanic couldn't replace the oil filter because it couldn't be unscrewed. The engine starts perfectly fine. There used to be smoke with a bad smell when starting, but recently the smoke seems to...

It also makes strange noise after engine turned off for couple of seconds

My van is a bit old, with 189k miles on the odometer. It has had issues with the gearbox and has been burning oil for the last two years at least since I bought it. Recently, it has started to stall when I stop to wait at junctions, slow down to a crawl, or at roundabouts. It drives perfect fine...

Don't assume it's just condensation. I might be worrying too much as I've noticed quite a few chimneys on my street that also lack capping. The problem is that if the structure has been damaged, any water entering the wall could exacerbate things, even if the holes have been blocked off now

I followed the roofer to have the pots removed but neglected to ask how he block the chimney in the beginning. Additionally, it started to rain two hours later. I now regret this oversight.

I instructed a roofer to conduct the repair work assuming the holes had been blocked appropriately. There is actually no cap on the chimney. The roofer removed all four pots and blocked the chimney with a board and cement. Later, I was told that the board he used is 6mm thick MDF board covered...

Thanks. May I know How to find whether the flu been damaged or unsafe. There are flexible hose there. I spotted water in one hose

Thanks. Yes the water is from one of the vent pipes layed by the gang. Does that mean problem with chimney capping or this is normal that I can leave it, only need to block the holes on the wall?

Thank you for everything. Apologies, I'm very busy dealing with the nightmare. Essentially, the chimney is not in use. The two fireplaces in the living room have been blocked off.The venting pipes were layed by the drug gang. I haven't finished removing them completely. However, I noticed some...

Hi, I'm seeking advice on how to block four large holes dug into the chimney wall after the house was converted into a cannabis farm by a tenant. I've noticed small amount of rainwater coming inside through one of the hoses used by the group for ventilation. I'm wondering if it's okay to block...
