P.S after 6 months no battery should be "low on voltage" unless something is draining it. I've had instances in the past wher i've bought a brand new one off the shelf and it's been dead.

I have had massive problems with jump leads in the past.... Basically if you need a pair you can rely on don't pay less than £45... Make sure you're leaving them connected for a while to pass enough charge before you go trying to start the car. For the sake of £40 I would just buy a new...

Must be the same lump, worth having a good look at one to check engine mount points etc?

100% change the water pump, they're supposed to be done every 80k otherwise you're paying for the labour to do the same job twice when you do decide to replace the waterpump

OK, day of faffing completed. I peeled off as much of the previous 3 layers of paint ( 2 x cream 1 x yellow!!) using scrapers / sanders. Filled in as many little cracks/scuffs as I could with polyfilla.. Painted 1 coat of Earthborn claypaint vanilla (probably may need a couple more?)...

ahem... anyway!!!! I've just scraped off a lot of the paint, think im back to the plaster now to be honest in quite a few patches, see attached photos (thoughts???) I did do a search but to be honest I see this post as hopefully a good reference for someone else further down the line...

Fair play, just googled it and they are dual purpose. http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=12276

I'll grab a snap of outside next time I get the chance. What purpose would a radon barrier serve, thought this is just gas? Downstairs has wood burner, upstairs main bedroom as a blocked up fireplace but a vent in the wall. Thanks for the replies - it's all good advice....

Sounds like the butterfly in the throttle body is now sticking from where they've cleaned it? I had this problem on my old rover and just replaced it with a spare one for £15 from the scrapheap. Or it may just need lubrication in the throttle body as it's probably plastic it won't be a...

may well be the sender unit on the tank itself? will probably need to goto a specialist. If you can identify the system (i.e BRC) pop a post on the LPG forums (google it) they helped me loads with my old Zafira LPG

well it must be either fuel/air/exhaust/engine management problem... (sounds like a lot I know) what did the diagnostics readout show? I had a similar problem and it was they throttle position sensor on a seat leon... Is it misfiring at all?

rocker cover is usually the cover around near the oil filler cap, covers the tops of the cams. depends on the car but on the girlfriends 206 it's a 20min job, remove a selection of bolts and a breather pipe then it's clear to clean. not sure on the Corsa p.s the usual test for head...

Might be a faulty bulb? sounds ridiculous but I had the same problem, replaced the bulb and it worked fine... try swapping left and right around?

they're a good bit of kit but they don't brush the pile... Trago Mills are fairly cheap for Henry hoover. I bought a Vax recently and they cheapest place was Robert Dyas by about £10

Hi All, This is my first post so please don't flame me too much!! We bought an old 1860's detached cottage back in August 2011 (first home), it had just been decorated and had some tanking / damp proof work done on a downstairs wall which backs onto a garden. Recently in the upstairs...
