Cheers guys, its a '96 or '97 cant remember and its a 1.4 petrol.

The last time i used the product it was available thru the trade only, it is a diluted version of the alloy wheel acid you have already used. Alloy wheel acid also comes in different strengths, and yes, i've used alloy wheel cleaner on body work but only left it on for a couple of minutes...

The boss's Son has bought a 306 non runner hoping to move on and make a profit, he dont have the code to put in the keypad and the last owner cant remember what it was!!! :shock: Yeah, sounds a bit suspect, plus it was bought on Fleabay. Anyone know a way of starting this car without...

I used to be a valeter for a Main Dealer and some of the new cars came in with fallout from railway yards where they were stored. I had an "acid wash" designed for this sort of thing but its not recommended for the faint hearted. Your best course of action is a Clay Bar as already mentioned...

Those were the precise indications i had when my belt went on my old Sierra. Just to clarify, i also turned the engine over with a wrench on the crank pulley.

Mike, been there, seen it and done it, well, my Daughter has. Long story short explanation, she purchased a Yaris, 3yrs old from an undesirable foreigner (i'm not racist) only to find it was a Cat B right off!! it even had a V5 log book with it, it was a flood damaged vehicle from the...

John, one of our guys on the Saab site has had a go at some fancy plumbing as also mentioned above and has had relatively good results. Still in the early stages though and may need further experimenting, this is where you come in fella. :wink...

We do a lot of work for a local scooby dealer John and i've seen the hassle they have changing the belts on an Impreza, looks like all the rads had to be removed just to get at them!! :shock: Ah well, at least the chain on my Saab looks good, even at 100k. :wink:

I had a Mazda 2.5 24v V6 that was a non interference engine. :wink:

Good advice, many thanks.

Seco Services, thanks for prompt reply, looking at getting a Dudley Turbo 88 which i;ve read good reports about, found one on the bay for £22. Where can i get the donut 'cause this cistern and pan have been together about 5yrs.

Cholma, i'm not trying to hijack you're thread but i'm in the same situation as you, i need to replace the syphon (think thats what its called) 'cause we have to repeatedly pump the handle to get a flush, even then it dont work. My question is, how does a syphon connect to the bottom of the...

Glad its all sorted Peter. 8)

Its not looking good guys, i went out lunch time, engine revs increased but the car bearly moved, got to a hill a few hundred yards from my house and the revs went through the roof and i was hardly making 40mph. Matters did improve somewhat when the engine warmed up after about 20mins. ATF...

When selecting reverse, more so when hot, the car vibrates quite a lot accompanied by a machine gun sound. This only really happens when the car is creeping/on a light throttle, if i accelerate in reverse the noise/vibration goes away. Any explanation please.

Just had a look fella and its the same as yours, braided hose with 2 jubilee clips. If O2 sensor is faulty it will show when the fault codes were read. Usually accompanied by a sooty exhaust and increased mpg. Re the injectors and plugs, i think the car needs a good thrash for a good few...

This idle to me seems a little low for an auto given that the revs will drop when D is selected. Anyway, give it a week and see if there are any changes, as a last resort you may have to move on to another garage for a second opinion. Have a word with these guys Pete, they may well be of use...

Pete, i must agree with John on the subject of earth strap, if it was suspect and contributing to the problem why did they not replace it? Remove the earth strap and the engine wont run, replace it and the engine will run, cant see this has anything to do with you're problem. Hope it all...

Pete, keep on at 'em fella, dont be fobbed off.

Pete, just had a look at my Wifes 206 and its slightly different, her's ia a 99 model, all the vac lines are tight , none have movement as you describe fella. Not sure how they go about adjusting the IAC or even if it can be adjusted! :?
