Hi everyone Update on the problem with my Nissan Serena. The rear brake cylinders and shoes needed replacing however the squeaking turned out to be the propshaft. This made sense because I could not figure out which wheel the squeaking was coming from, anyway Nissan wanted over £400...

Thanks for the info everyone, very much appreciated.

Thanks Joe 90 for the reply Wheels dont get hot so looks like I'll be doshing out loads of money for the brakes then, but I'll let you know what the outcome is. Merry Christmas

When I am on line on you tube, the videos keep freezing and then start again after about five seconds and then freezes again, it is really annoying. Has anyone got any suggestions, also when I do a one button check up on Norton systemworks, when the scan reaches Norton clean up it locates 533...

I have a nissan serena and have recently noticed a squeaking noise especially when moving off or reversing coming from the rear wheels, like when a wheelbarrow wheel needs oiling. The brakes probably need looking at and it is going to the garage on thursday for a pre mot check. However can...

The Pound shop sell the drill pumps for yes you guessed it £1, I think they would work well for small jobs but not for larger jobs like ponds etc. You could try Halfords for a squeezy hand pump usually made for emptying your petrol tank. If you opt for the drill pump dont forget you need to...

Couldn't agree more Blasphemous, all insurers will look for any reason not to pay out, but they are all eager to take our money. But what good is any property if you are not around to live in it, Gas can be very dangerous.

Hi again You may need a power flush done on your system. this will clear any sludge, you can then add fernox once you know the system is running ok. Either way let us all know how you get on.

Hi You did not say how recently you changed your rads, but remember you will inevitably get air in any system when you replace rads because you are filling up the system again. When I have to refill my system, I do it very very slowly via the main stopvalve in the F and E tank, even then...

Thanks for your informative reply Pete, certainly something to think about.

Hello all.. I have a conventional boiler which is coming to the end of its days (must be 25 yrs old) however I am undecided on whether to replace it with a combi or not. I still want to keep the hot water tank as a backup but what is the cheapest to run ? it is a three bed bungalow and the...

I had the same problem many years ago, the problem being I had not put dizzy cap back on correctly, it sounds stupid but it is easily done.

Thanks Neo, Makes sense what you suggest, I will get a mechanic to check it for me and hope it is the sensor.

I have a Nissan Serena 1.6 GX 1998, and I have noticed an increase in petrol consumption over this last year. The revs are slightly high when idle, I have checked the accelerator cable which does not stick, I have also checked that the clutch is not slipping. Any suggestions would be...

Nige F £80.00 a day in SW1 ? I know some polskis who would do it for £40.00, however they can't tile, can't do any diy but that doesn't matter these days thanks to Tory Blair. Rule Brittania !!!!

Hi tockworth Thanks for your early reply. Your information is certainly most appreciated, i will give it a go the weekend. I am sure most viewers to this topic will take your advice and use it in the near future, you make it sound so simple (which we all know it isn't) Thanks again.

Great news. You are now a qualified door sensor engineer !!!!

I bought a dvd recorder for my son for Xmas and have problems recording. The aerial goes direct to a freeview box, i also have a video connected which plays and records, however i can't seem to get a recording when i connect the dvd player. Does the aerial go directly into the dvd recorder...

Sounds like the door sensor to me but wait for confirmation from someone who knows what he's talking about.

My advice to anyone is if you dont know what you are doing, then DON'T do it, leave it to the experts, unless you want to kill or be killed!!!
