Oh right lol. Lack of knowledge about what the valve does. Thanks. He did say if there was no noise when ignition is on to tap the body to get ot working before starting

Update : got diagnostic equipment on it and traced it to the throttle assembly. The air intake butterfly valve thingy isn't opening properly due to a sticking motor that should be making a humming noise with ignition on. Getting a replacement Hes gone to the pub now so can i ask if is it a...

Will do John ;)

Forgot to mention its an 08 plate polo. I was cruising in 4th gear in a 30 zone when the epc light came on

EPC light came on and simultaneously lost power, crawling in 1st gear, i managed to pull over. Switched off and left it 2 minutes, then restarted ok and the light was off. However, whrn accelerating in lower gears, the car was spluttering slightly but now running normal. My neighbour is a...

Hi all , Is it mandatory or currently still advisable to have equipontal bonding I currently don't have a gas meter that is equipotentially bonded. If I get a smart meter fitted which is outside, would they insist on fitting the earth at the same time, and making a rough job of fitting the...

Thanks for the replies and the advice everyone! Much appreciated! Yes gc1967 it was from b&q, and 1 from wilko.

Yea it's going fine. Little things like no remote locking, doors seem heaver to push/pull open etc.. Just seeing micras about gets me thinking as I was mechanically familiar with them.

Thanks. Lol., Will do.

Thanks. I did have the micra for 10 years.

Ive traded in a mk3 micra for a mk4 polo. Not sure now, if I should have gone for another newer mk3 micra instead. I thought about relibility, insurance group, economy, But i knew the micra well and felt more comfortable working on it. I thought at the time I'd made a good logical choice...

Any scraping noises when opening/closing? Failing that you might be better off with a local repair man

I put it onto daily quick wash, everything fine.. It turns slow for a few seconds then pauses as it should, but then stopped. I tried pauding and resuming but that didn't work. I switched it off for 5 min., then when i turned it back on, continued and completed the wash successfully...
