yeah sounds like o2 sensor (lambada sensor) located in the exhaust, possible you cat has gone, or the car is overfuelling. when was the air filter last changed? also who changed ur cambelt, if the timing is out by a tooth the car could be overfuelling causing unburnt fuel to be passed into the...

all wheel bearings are not tapered. usually all rear whell bearings are, or 4x4s, any car ive changed bearings on, the front wheels do not have tapered bearings, they are pressed into the hub! especially cars with abs, as the bearing will have an exciter ring for the abs sensor to pick up on

you may well find that your keys will not start the car though. in older fords the keycode chip was in the key and read by the ecu, they had big problem with people being able to steal the cars really easily by putting their own ecu in the car they intended to steal and using their own keys that...

has the horn ever worked? if so then the likley hood is you just havent seen the wires to the horn. have you checked the obvious, ie the fuse, if thats ok get a multimeter and check there is voltage to the wires when the horn is operated, if not there is likely to be a prob with the switch that...

should the boot pop open at all, ie do you have a button to open the boot seperatly on your fob, and possibly a button/lever inside the car, if not sounds like the lock mechanism on the boot is faulty, ie not holding the boot shut when the central locking has been released. chech the mech and...

does it go away after starting or stay all the time, could also be the tensioned (a pully that holds the belt tight) bearings, a squirt of wd40 would cure that, squirt at the middle of the pulleys, try not to get any on ur belts though

this is common on french cars apparently, what usually causes this is taking the car thru the car wash, the top brush pushes down on the ariel mounting slightly deforming the roof where the seal is made - usually not noticable by eye. use clear silicone to reseal arial to roof - u should be able...

it will be pretty obvious if the belt was old or new, as someone already said the markings on the outside of the belt will fade with time, also the rubber on the inside (touching the pulleys) will be cracked and the edges frayed if the belt has not been changed. y not ask them to supply a...

i tried running my car (l200 warrior) on veg oil just to see if it would work (i get diesel as part of my job so have no need to do this all the time), id read loads of posts about it on the l200 owners club and also on the pajero owners club. to do it properly you would need a conversion kit...

get a haynes manual it will tell you, but easies way to check if your belts are loose is to try twisting them if you can twist the belt (in situ) more than about 90deg (a quarter turn along its length) then it needs tightning - easiest way is to grab the belt in the middle (between pullys) and...

if its a factory fitted immobiliser, it would be fairly hard for you to remove this as its in amoungst the main wiring looms, i dnt even think there is fuse for it, check under the steering wheel thoguth and in the engine bay. also have you tried disconnecting the battery and leaving that...
