General Car Chat / non starting 1.4hdi - any ideas
« on: 25 February 2021, 10:41:27 »
i know its a peugeot so you'll tell me to bin it but its been reliable until now

just passed MOT came home parked up and left for a week then won't start.  First i check the fuel lines (as these can leak) and fuel filter appears blocked.  - replaced.  fully primed the system so no air in that but still no start

Try my code reader (old ELM327 one) which has worked on it before - no joy.  tried reader on another car - works fine.  have checked all fuses in both fuse boxes - they are fine too.  Am baffled

So am thinking to focus on reading the ECU for now, and worry about any subsequent fuel issues later.  Does that make sense?  anyone out there with experience on the 1.4hdi with a better suggestion?

I am supposed to be upgraded due to the current network only supporting about 1mps with a following wind and guess what they are planning on FTTP.  So far we have fibre to the end of the drive so the next challenge is to get it to the house - 150 metres away from the road.  I think the options are

1. dig a duct in: will take me 2 days work and a bit of diesel and a lot of mess plus the risk hitting existing services or hand digging around them ( which I hate)

2. suspend the fibre from a pole - I don't like that because of the cost of the pole and it limits clearance for machines (I need to cover a field)

3. use one of these point to point internet thingies (Ligowave thingie...)  which is a couple of hundred quid and I have a convenient brick build meter cupboard to use near the road where the fibre arrives.

I'm thinking of going for option 3: cos I can fit pretty quickly and it saves a huge amount of disruption. 

Any thoughts from the experts here? 

thanks in advance

General Car Chat / any recommendations for body repair near coventry?
« on: 10 December 2015, 20:36:55 »
got a Vectra b with a minor rear end shunt. boot floor is a bit crumpled but the main chassis members are straight as the towbar took most of the force.  I'm happy to replace tailgate and bumper myself but need someone to straighten out the floor well enough to get the tailgate striker plate back into position. 

Any suggestions around the Coventry area  much appreciated!

does anyone know the right answer?

some people ( google that is ) say 100k miles, others say 80k  depending on power out put of the lump.

some numpty has also written " chain" on the cover - makes me worried ( a lot) as its already on 115k.

here's the problem: got a brake drum on an ifor williams trailer.  they are sealed unit bearings and try as i might, I cannot pull the drum off.  I've tried a universal hub puller - that's not strong enough.  It's been soaked in penetrating oil and walloped a lot as well.  any ideas?  Anyone within reasonable distance of coventry with a heavy duty puller that wants a challenge?

Any help is appreciated

I've got to do a disc and pad change on an A6 allroad ( 2006 C6 platform).  I've tried looking for the torque settings for the caliper carrier bolts and the caliper bolts themselves but cannot find them anywhere.  does anyone have the info to hand?

Anything difficult/unusual to look for?

ok so it's just developed a missfire under any load at all.  feels like it is missing quite badly so I am guessing 2 cylinders

my money is on dis-pack - am I right or barking up the wrong tree?

not looked at anything yet but thinking of pulling thre plugs out to see if two are wet.
