Hi. The overheating engine occurred after the turbo had developed a fault and before it was replaced. My question is if a turbo becomes faulty leading to a loss of power, can this cause the engine to overheat when forced up a long steep hill ie when it is forced to work harder?

It was a Nissan supplied new turbo. The overheating occurred before the new turbo was fitted. The current symptoms are reduced acceleration and leaking rocker cover. Nissan will check it out tomorrow........

Hi John. Thanks for the info. Just to clarify, the overheating occurred before the turbo was replaced ie when i was given a lift home in my own car. I thought i had read somewhere that an engine with a faulty turbo has to work much harder and can overheat under heavy load eg driving up a steep...

Hi. I'm looking for some advice after using a local garage to replace a turbo on a 2015 Qashqai. The car was booked in due to an unpleasant turbo metallic noise and it was expected that a new turbo would be required and i was happy with the quote. I managed to carefully coast the car with very...

The cable used to supply two other sheds (between the house and existing shed) that were demolished. He located both joints and resealed a couple of years ago. There may be other joints that we are not aware of. I think best bet is to have a new length of cable run out to existing shed?

Sorry, I repeated the mistake. When the cable is fully disconnected at the shed fusebox the tripping does NOT stop. Thanks again.

Sorry, my mistake. When the supply cable is fully disconnected at the shed fusebox the tripping at the house main fusebbox stops. So the fault must be in the buried cable? thanks

Hi My old man has a problem with a tripping fuse on a supply to his shed. He has approx 50M of 3x6 Armorcore underground to the shed. The armourcore run also has 2 underground joints (remade with proper resin connectors after a previous trip problem). The precise locations of the joints are...

Hi I'm planning to insulate under my ground-floor wooden floor-boards from underneath. I have a crawl space of 2-3 ft. I have found guidance online stating that you can place insulating wool between the joists and hold in place with netting. Can I staple the wool to the floorboards from...

This consumer unit provides supplies to :- (1) A recently built barn which then has it own fusebox. Sockets/Lights. Nothing switched on here during trip. This is the supply with replaced underground connections. (2) A recently built shed containing a fridge/freezer. This would have been on...

Hi As requested, i've uploaded an image of the fusebox. It is the far left main switch that trips (not the mcb currently off). During the trip there are no timed appliances running.

they've had this problem on and off since moving into the property a year ago. 2 underground connections (to outbuildings) have been replaced using proper 2-pack resin joints after they were found to be wet. This seemed to have stopped the problem for about 2 months until now. They have...

Thanks for your help.

Hi all My old man is having problems with a tripping main switch in his consumer unit. It trips periodically and it is difficult to locate the fault because it isn't an individual rcd that trips. It will trip at odd times, early in the morning, last thing at night or middle of the night. At...
