Hi all. I am experiencing an annoying intermittent fault where my vehicle just cuts out, I loose all power & the ABS light ( skidding Car icon) comes on by itself. I have to pull over for a minute switching the engine off. After this short delay I start the Car up again & the light goes out &...

Hi folks, My Ford Mondeo Titanium X estate fob locking isn't working correctly. It locks the car ok but normally when I double click the indicators flash, now when I double click I only hear 1 lock & the indicators don't flash. Has anybody had this fault who can shed some light on it for me...

Hi jj4091. Thank you for your input. I have read something about an unbalanced load before. I will give it ago on the drain cycle, as you suggest. Thanks. Bing.

Hi all. My washer as just started to play up. It does a wash & then doesn't go into its spin cycle. So, what I have done is to try & switch it to a separate fast spin cycle, this does a cycle but when it is finished the Drum is full of water & the clothes are wringing wet. I am hoping that...

Thanks for that ch427. My colleges initial thought was a Pulley Bearing or Belt, maybe he was on the right track. At least he now has a couple of things to check out. Many thanks.

Thanks Mursal. I will get him to try that.

Hi guys. A work mates mondeo as suddenly started to develop an high pitched tapety noise in his engine. There is no loss of power & the noise rises & falls with the engine revs. I'm hoping Someone can shed some light on a possibe cause. Thanks. BING.[/i]

Thanks for that insight into how the system functions John, appreciated. The vehicle is actually running sweet, no misfires to my knowledge. No over heating & good fuel consumption, needs a drop of oil every few weeks. However, it is 12 year old with damaged Panels all round & no Gas in the...

Burnerman. At this stage, don't replace anything just for the hell of it - the lamp may go out on its own accord after a run. I like this plan because it fits well with my budget! Alane. I don't think people are reluctant to use on board diagnostics. They just don't know how to access...

Sorry for the delay getting back. Thanks for the replies guys. I do understand that there is a multitude of possible faults but I was hoping to try & eliminate some of the more basic ones. Any how I have been scratching around on the net & have come a cross a few threads where the Lambda...

Hi all. On my way home from work I noticed that the Engine management light stays on. I know that this is a bad light to come on, so I'm hoping that I can pick up a few pointers on what to check for. There are no other warning lights. I believe that I need a Computer diagnostic tool to be...

Hi Ericmark. The Motor is a 3 phase Motor & yes, I am operating the Contactor over-ride button on the front, with a Screwdriver in the main Control Cabinet. From your reply & question, I am assuming that Bernard was right with his theory. Thanks for your input it is appreciated, everyone...

Thanks for the replies Donr & Jon. I did try to write my question as clearly as possible but it seems not clearly enough. I don't believe it's a brake problem because when the Contactor is released the Hoist stops immediately with 1500Kg load on it. It doesn't creep in the slightest & in...

Thank you for your explanation Bernard. That is what I kind of thought it might be, but just wanted some one else's take on it. That's the beauty of these Forums, you can bounce things around with others! Thanks. Bing.

Hi all. I am currently working on a Machine that as an Hoist with separate raise lower Contactors. Whilst doing a load test on the Hoist, I noticed that when I manually activated the raise Contactor, on occasion the Hoist would actually lower the load momentarily. This is not a Brake...

A big thank you to all who have posted replies. A new 8.5kW shower is now up & running & I feel confident that it is a good installation which isn't pushing any load boundaries. Yes the 10.5kW would have been nice. But it wasn't worth trying to replace the supply wire & MCB. Cheers guys...

Thanks Prenticeboy I appreciate your advise. You know what its like, you start a simple replacement job assuming everything was correct before it failed, until you spot something & start asking questions. Once I take responsibility for changing it over, I have a duty of care to my family or...

Thanks for your thoughts guys. My Consumer unit is protected with a 30mA trip. I would have liked to have kept the 10.5kW & replaced the wiring for 10mm but I don't think I could pull it through, it appears to be quite tight @ 6mm. I don't want to have to break the Tiles in the Bathroom...

Hi all. I have just purchased a 10.5kW to replace my broken 8.5kW Shower. Whilst removing the unit I noticed that there was a discrepancy in the supply wiring. I was expecting to find 10mm square L, N & E but found a Twin & Earth, L & N are both 6mm square with a single strand 1.7mm Earth...

Hi guys. I have a Redring Plus-extra electric shower & it has suddenly stopped getting hot. The LEDs for power & heat setting are lighting up but the water only just about gets look warm. I am guessing that there is fault with the element, although there is some heat coming through. Does...
