What do you mean by power socket feature John? cheers

The pressure on my fairy new combi boiler is low sometimes (in the red between 0-1) and I keep adding some water to the system via the inlet tap to bring it up to about 1.5 or so. However after a week or few days , it is back down in the red low pressure I don't know much about central heating...

Thanks for that tip - handy to know

Cheers for that info. Yes, I have seen those traffic cone type homemade cyclone filters on YouTube and wondered if a DIY solution might work in connection with a vacuum.

Ok, I went down to the Bosch centre, very helpful people . Had a good chat and explained my issue and what I was hoping to achieve by having diagnostic. It would be £90 and basically give the range of things that may be at fault (or a specific one if that is the code), but for me they would...

Cheers Mottie - never heard of that service. Just looked and there's one local costs £84. I'll go down and talk to them first, as ideally I'd explain what I am trying to achieve and then they would help narrow it down. If they just give me a 'read out' then I doubt I would be able to make sense...

The plugs were blackened at end yes, and neck of ceramic bit had black line around I have made my mind up to find a good mechanic to look at it, because even if I had 'live data' OBD (and I just looked and you can put a bluetooth adaptor on the scart type end of mine and then send it to the...

In the local Lidl they have dust vacuum cleaner for doing really dirty/dusty jobs like the chimney/hearth area after sweeping chimney etc. I cant find it on the web page to show it, but here is something similar on ebay My question is - would this also work as a dust extractor to use in a...

I dont know much at all about car engines, but I am starting to realise that this is a bit more complex than I might have guessed. Diagnosing faults is a skilled game I just wish I knew a garage/mechanic that was a) good b) trustworthy c) with the tech to do all the tests to diagnose it

I' starting to think along those lines too, but I don't have a garage/mechanic I trust since a regular one retired. I took another vehicle to a different local one after the good garage closed, and never again...

Good suggestion, I have the socket head on order now, hopefully I can get it out Doesn't misfire, just doesn't 'pull' too well when putting foot down. Toyota Yaris petrol 1.3

I totally take your point - I thought it was MAF , but it wasn't. And I occasionally get a dark exhaust smoke on starting and thought that maybe the fuel intake was crapped up somewhere along the line or injectors, but that was just a hunch based on my very, very limited knowledge of car...

Cheers John - yes, it has another after the cat..hope I get lucky and it's the first one (for ease of getting at it, and £) But if I dont do something about it, it might harm the cat and then be bigger £ in the longer run

although when I look at may photos of the day I fixed it, the part looked like this...not like the ones in the photos to the links I attached

Well, it was intermittent at first and laying the machine on one side then the other sort of worked for a week. Then I narrowed it down to the impeller jug on the inlet. Here's the part for mine https://www.ransomspares.co.uk/parts/dishwashers/bosch/impeller-jug/56999.htm It's got a plug in...

John -thanks for that. Can I just ask...if I unplug the sensor and run the OBD scanner again, would that confirm if it were that o2 sensor? I previously thought it was the MAF and replaced it , only to find it wasn't, was I'm I'd rather be sure before buying a new one

I had a the problem of 'check water' on our Bosch Classix dishwasher, and it would fill then automatically drain a few mins after (does your timer clock stick on a certain number of mins? If so, I'll go into detail about what I did to fix, if it's not the same problem, I won't bore you

Cheers for info John - I can see the split socket head for sale and the sensor is the one before the cat and easier to get at, so maybe I will give it a go. But the tip to cut the wires is a good one, thanks Do you use ptfe tape or white grease on it? Why are they talking about a re-thread when...

I bought a cheap diagnostics tool as I wanted to see what my engine light was before I went to garage. It is P2196 O2 Sensor signal stuck rich. I changed the MAF sensor and still got problem, so presume it's the from O2 sensor. I checked a few videos on YouTube and see what some of them say you...
