It must be mechanically minded, when it knows the different air pipes? Mate got his Octavia wiring loom chewed, so it must want to be a spark ..... :)

You could look out for a plastic box, it might be cheaper but really only weather protection for the main body of the mower. This will depend on the size of the box.

The second diagram given above, is very similar to your picture, could you not try that setting, seeing you have nothing better? Regardless of van age, after all it was kind of the person who posted the pages from the service manual, don't you think?

Well the guys designing the cars have no control on road infrastructure and yes London has emission charges, I had forgot about that. Manufacturers don't worry to much about the reliability of their cars at 6, 7 or 8 years old, I'm afraid. They need to sell new units in ever increasing...

Its a form of an entry level hybrid vehicle (known as a mild hybrid) for those manufacturers that want something to fill that market and still use the same basic engine design/layout. The Toyota Prius would be known as a full hybrid. Full electric for city driving, petrol/diesel for the...

Sometimes there is a plate in the door well with a diagram how to set the valve up? Length of spring etc. You could also try Peugeot forums ............

Sorry I sometimes talk in riddles .............. Does he use the chimney or is it just for show? Basically I was talking about an excuse for you to take out bricks from your side of the chimney so it wouldn't work as a chimney for him. Because the holes are now on your side of the chimney he...

Ask them did they change the oil before you got the car? Most now suck the oil out the dipstick pipe and don't lift every last drop, so it colours the new oil quite quickly. Don't go changing the oil yourself until out of warranty .......... Sometimes they let apprentices do the service and...

Can you knock a brick or two out your side to put plant holders on? Only problem if you do that, it mightn't draw for him when he want to use it? So he'd have to run after you to sort it out?

John, in answer to your question, I think we'd get away without back brakes, especially on the cars? Just put a set of shoes on and a cable for the handbrake? They do very little to add stopping power and cause more problems than any front brakes ever did. We'd have to ban anyone using the...

Excessive back pressure in the sump, due to engine wear (piston rings). Unfortunately the sump is vented into the inlet manifold (not to the outside of the engine like older models) so the engine runs on the fumes, uncontrollably and can over rev and self-destruct. Some newer engines are...

Dont think you will get the paddle shift direct shift on the standard beetle only the top end R32. The manual gearbox in the Golf aren't great (Beetle base) and the constant variable transmission in the Audi's also seem to give trouble if worked hard, lots of estates (all around 150K miles) in...

Is he on his own, because they do like a party. Its the same one you see every time? Keep an eye on them and keep the house doors closed ............

The engine management could do that and throw a fault code if one cylinder was not taking the same current from the starter as the rest of the cylinders in the engine? Save us the bother of buying the test kit :P

Yes the A5 FSI engine has it, think its used to change from 2 to 4 valves per cylinder, but I'd have to check. I think they had to do quite a bit of added engineering when they decided to inject the petrol directly into the cylinder (FSI) Not sure how it will age, but I said that about the...

A general fertilizer will be fine, something with a little N (nitrogen) plenty of P (phosphate) and plenty of K (potash) Something like 0:7:30 or 0:10:20 (both have no nitrogen) But you don't need anything special, to much N and you will be fed up cutting it ........... :P

It really is another world, ever more difficult to keep up .............

They probably drove it like they stole it ............ Unless they picked something up without noticing (pipe off etc) Were they expensive, I'd say the car was never as glad to get home ....... :P

As above ............ Sounds as though you have another issue and changing the battery just disguised the problem. 1. Not charging properly when the engine is running 2. Discharging when stopped, because there is something switched on 3. Starter circuit problem, especially up around the...
