    mazda 323 wheel bearing noise

    if you steer to the left and the noise stays or gets worse,you have a right side bearing problem.As it could initially be only a couple of balls or rollers deteriorating,you may not detect any play yet.

    Broken Fog Light Lens (corsa 1.2)

    You do have to remove the whole rear panel,(bumper).To help get it off without dropping/cracking/scratching it,you need to enlist a friend to hold one end for you. There are about 10 fasteners holding it,a couple inside the rear wheel arches,4 under the car and 4 along the line of the boot.Some...

    peugeot 206 headlight

    Glad to help.I should have added though,try not to touch the bulb's glass envelope,a fingerprint can cause local overheating and a short life. If you do touch it,clean it with a soft cloth and a dab of alcohol.

    Break light switch - Peugeot 306

    You should be able to put the brake lamps on without actually causing the brakes to come on.This is an important safety item.I am not familiar with how the brake switch is mounted on a peugeot,but mostly they are just a plastic plunger switch mounted under the dash,near the top end of the brake...

    '97 Laguna - crazy rear lights

    Almost certain to be a bad earth contact.Look for where the rear lamp wiring goes to ground,and remove/clean the eyelet.You can probe about with a test lamp or just a length of wire "improving the earth" to diagnose it,but as so many lamps are involved,it is probably a common connector.

    peugeot leeking water

    Hi Craig, I removed the aerial from the roof and then sat it back down in silicone. Managed to unbolt it by removing the interior lamp assembly for access.This worked ok on a ZX Citroen and a pug 306.Hopefully you will be able to do the same.Geoff

    peugeot 407 diesel heaterplugs keep failing

    Paul,you posted this on 22nd Oct. You really need to keep the thread together and post any findings or progress you have made on the original. You may benefit from having the injector spray patterns checked at a lucas depot.Also,check the engine mounts for any sagging which can cause...

    Vectra central locking problem

    Our Zafira was like this after replacing the fob battery.Consulting the handbook,it tells you to put the key in the ignition,then switch on.You now have a 30 second window to press the "lock"button then the unlock button. Your key should now be re-programmed to your vehicle.Hope it works for...

    My Corsa

    The oil if you need some is shell dexron 2. The handbook tells you how to drive it and use "S" mode and the "start-off" aid for snow,but not how to check the oil level.If you have a look under the bonnet,you will probably find a dipstick on the gearbox,normally you have the unit warmed up,move...

    peugeot 206

    Have checked with my mate who's wife is on her 4th peugeot.Although he is not sure how long a car has to be parked for it to work the eco-mod is a battery saver system.Things like interior lamp,radio,driving lamps stop working until next time the ignition is on.A quick call to a Peugeot dealer...

    peugeot 206 headlight

    Glad you have sorted the bulb.It is not uncommon these days to find that at least one headlamp is masked by various underbonnet equipment.Some vectra's and pug 406 models come to mind.

    peugeot leeking water

    Have you also got a roof aerial? Very common source of water coming through the interior lamp etc. Cure is to remove the aerial and refit with silicone sealer.

    peugeot 206 headlight

    You should be able to see a two sided clip holding the bulb.Just press gently on the circular clip ends and ease them outwards,the bulb will be free. To replace,insert the bulb into it's locations(will probably look not quite straight when in correct)hold in place with one finger and just...

    pergoet 407 glow plugs keep failing

    NGK are good,also Beru (factory fit),don't overtighten torque 22Nm. Premature wear and failure can be caused by a bad spray pattern on the injectors.(heater plug tip and injectors close together in the swirl chamber). If this was the problem though,you would probably have had other symptoms...

    Mitsubishi Charisma 1.8 gdi

    Neo,he says it's a gdi =gasoline direct injection. It's not an engine type I am familiar with Simon,but the3.5 hours quoted is probably reasonable for a cambelt change.A lot of modern motors are difficult to get at with the engine in the frame.Have you actually paid £317 for the job or would...

    Corsa Exhaust

    Have consulted my vauxhall manual,all the 1.2 engines seem to be 8 valve around that time. Check your service book for your vhall engine designation,if it's 12NZ,C12NZ or X12SZ,it's 8 valve.Post again if this doesn't cover yours.
