Bugger! Told there were 2 faults, ecu and motor?, anyway, was told 160 for refurb parts, or 800/1200 for new. Oddly, i was expecting the car to be as normal but tje fault was cleared n had the steering back. Could buy a diagnostic reader and clear it myself if not too expensive Had a...

Hi John, just seen yr post. I already dropped it off to an auto electrician and waiting result. i think i may be my fault.. I started it up and drove off straight away, perhaps not giving it a chance to "initialise" so to speak and thats where the trouble started .. I usually always wait for...

Hey thanks John, your help much appreciated!!

Plus.. Can cars from dealerships still have finance on them?

My micra is playing up (ps light) and prognosis looks glum. Are mk3 clios ok for a car? They look ok but i am looking at ; - mk3 clio - polo - i20 -fiesta Thirdly, i saw a car on autotrader at a dealership 100 miles away from me, but is it best to stay local incase i get any problems...

Thanks again burnerman, will have a look. I was looking at the " best small used cars" for some inspiration. Was thinking of timing chains , but if not maintained properly (evrn checking oil levels regular) seems more of a liability

Bloody hell.. Thought our German neighbours had a reputation for quality. Quite like the look of them but not so sure on reliability.

Ouch, oh right, thought theyd last longer. Thanks for the info

Been to a car auction and saw a 10 plate 1.2 one with 59k on the clock that went for £3,650. Looked good and engine, clutch were fine. What put me off was looking online and found owners were having problems with timing chains/ tensioners failing without warning on 1.2 engines around 10...

Oh right, thanks for the information!

many thanks for the previous replies... before I arrange an installation I was looking into equipontal bonding ... To be blunt, a house in same street as mine, recently had a new external gas meter fitted... and ... what looks like a 10mm2 earth cable fitted outside that runs up his wall at...

Would put pics but have no camera and basic phone

Oh right, thanks for both suggestions. Will have a go with both

I had new taps fitted 2 years ago and nneed to get the tap covers off. They have seized on though. Is there anything better than wd40? Or could i use heat ftom hair dryer or blowlamp? The taps are chrome plated brass so not sure If using heat will take the chrome off. Thanks in advance for...

Oh right, thanks for the info. I'll get onto them and find out. Thanks for the replies

I'm assuming smart gas meters need a power supply. My supplier want to fit one, but the external current meter is nowhere near an electrical supply. This would mean fitting wiring which, i suspect, would be fitted by electricians who won't be concerned with how it looks afterwards. E. G ...

No mate, it drips in same places, poured in until i filled joins in.

I tried glueing down a patch with the tar from tin stuff, thought it was ok but it blew off and stuck onto neibours windscreen.. White spirit came in handy and no one the wiser, they didn't see.. Phew lol

Yes its got a slight slope to rear, 18 x 18 feet square, semi detached with neibour, their side isnt leaking evrn though it looks old too. Ive covered the joins with roofing repair stuff, and when i ran out, wrnt with the tin of tar stuff. The joins looked a bit iffy so got the adhesive...

No it was a tin of roofing tar type stuff.
