Thanks for your opinion , I don't mind good or bad , just interested , especially if someone has owned one. BTW , I also drive a car from Korea! That was voted the ugliest car ever by Top Gear !! Shows I've got taste or cataracts ! If leaving comment , please tell us your mode of transport ...

Since never owning a diesel with a DPF on , I would have expected the engine management light to come on , like one post say's , give it a good blast for 20 plus minutes , either motorway or just in a lower gear , the idea is to get it hot enough to burn off the particles , but it may have also...

The point was really was , do you like the way it looks , not so much about whether a certain part is prone to fail and cost a fortune to replace. Anyone could paste a link of any marque of car with the same problems. I have owned "french" cars which have done 250,000 plus with no major...

Want to buy my wife (and me) a economical car , thought about a BMW 320D , good car but there are so many of them you'd never find it in Tesco's carpark ! Would like an Alfa , but too expensive for bits and bad rep. Looking at a 2.2Hdi 136hp 406 Coupe , can easily be remapped and de-faped...

Hi John , Just got home so haven't had time to check the crank sensor voltage yet , but have checked all relays and fuses , not gone down the route of the immobiliser yet ! But the car opens and closes on the fob , but will take look at that. It will be something really simple , i hope ...

Took sensor out and cleaned it , looked ok but did not test it, will do so later when i get home. What i don't understand is , if i manually feed fuel into manifold , engine runs fine , so just thought the sensor must be ok !? But will update later this afternoon. Cheers for the info and...

First job i did was to cut out and crimp it ! Either the ECU is not sending the earth to trigger the injectors (it does, but only 3 times then stops) , or maybe the pump pressure is low , I put my thumb over return and it made no difference , also changed the relief valve as i had a spare...

Married (live in handy man) , father of 3 donor sons , that's the way i like to think of them , who seem to only need me if they have broken a motorbike , car or something (see "married") ! Headstone to read " I tried" .

Son went over a pothole in his 51plate 106gti 16v , engine stopped ! He tried reset button , no luck. Car starts then cuts-out , checked most connections , cleaned all earths , looked for broken wires. Pulled fuel rail off - turn engine and you get about 3 spray's of fuel from all injectors ...
