    Ecostrad ceramic rad not working

    I have spoken to the rad supplier and they will send me a new rad. I am a bit worried the other rads could easily break down in the future as well. Say in 5 yrs time. This one has lasted about 18mths. So my question is can this fault be repaired by myself or a repair shop ? The units cost...

    Dpf cleaning or buying

    Right I have the answer !!! The mot guy has just been to do the diagnostic and the additive tank is totally empty. This is not adblue but another additive which is pushed into the DPF. So he will add some later this week. He needs to ramp it up and remove the tank. No warning lights have...

    Leaks around gutter outlet

    I hope the photo shows the issue. The outlet is joined onto by me and my neighbour. Mine is wood connecting with plastic and his might be similar. It leaks in this area. What can I do to improve it?

    Dpf cleaning or buying

    I will look at the forte products next time. Ive done everything you need to do - changeoil and filter, add the cleaners, take it for 1h driving before in 3rd gear and not switch off at the mot centre. Still got the same rate i did on the first day, so a fail. If you are getting 0.9 i think...

    Ive been down to the test centre this morning and they said dont go for the filter clean as i dont have any lights on the dash board about it.
