Our shows up fault codes every time the temperature dips below zero. Luckily, so far, the temperature has risen, and cleared the code, before the countdown mileage gets anywhere near zero.
Stick a 10 litre bottle in there, Ray, that should do you for around 10,000 miles.
I had about 6ltrs so that sorted it  :y

General Car Chat / Adblu top up
« on: 14 February 2024, 23:01:30 »
I have just started to get the warning that my adblu is low & I only have about 1500 kilometers before the engine wont start , on this car ( 2019 citroen c4 cactus 1.5 dti ,spacetourer ) the filling is situated next to the diesel . Nowhere in the user manual does it tell me how much of the ad blu that I need to put in . do i just fill until it takes no more?

General Discussion Area / INSURANCE CLAIMS
« on: 11 October 2023, 13:03:34 »
Back in mid June i was involved in an accident. how it happenedon on a large roundabout that has 3 entries & as many exits  i had just gone through a green light but after about 20mtrs i had to stop because of a big horsebox that i presume was heading for york races. the horsebox  was trying to switch lanes . a car coming up a southbound ramp managed to get thruogh the gap between my car & the horsbox but a van that followed caught my frontend & totalled my car.  i was deemed to be in fault simply because the position  i was in & he had a green light. also because of the positionn of both vehicles the police had to arrange removal. on his report he recommended no further action to be taken. good news I was paid out within a week.
  however last saturday i got papers from the other party,s solicitor wanting £,8500 . naturally i phoned them & was told its because Aviva had not settled the claim from the other party.  it took me over 5 hours to speaak to the right department at Aviva ( claim fulfillment team ). aviva have asked me to send them the court papers so they can deal with it ,

« on: 31 July 2023, 20:30:46 »
a mokka on a 16plate is telling me a tyre needs air, but it doesn,t . is there a sensor on the wheel that may be faulty, the tyres are recent all round
& in good nick.

is it telling you that a specific tyre is 'flat'? Or is it telling you that you that one of your tyres is 'flat'?
  the same corner needs air, tho as I said it doesnt , anyway its a job that requires the bead popping so its booked in to a tyre shop

I assume that you’ve done the reset procedure.

…………
the tyres are recent all round
……

If you’ve carried out the reset procedure, maybe one of the TPMS sensors got damaged during the tyre change. Is it always the same wheel that shows under inflation.  :-\.
same tyre. reset procedure carried out does a new sensor need programming in once fitted ?

So contemplating having one installed, maybe a multichanger too Probably boot area with a remote control . not sure whats on the market so will need to speak to a professional

Were you really surprised by the fact that it would be a totally sealed unit? As you say , it's criminal that a several hundred pound appliance has to be scrapped because of the fact that a twenty pound  set of bearings can't be accessed. On a side note, has that proviso that appliances must be repairable gone now because of Brexit? Or was it ever really on the cards?  :-\
   its a probability that you may come across one on ebay

General Discussion Area / car insurance (lies)
« on: 24 June 2023, 13:57:24 »
 3 days early morning ish i was involved in an accident . my car was a writeoff. after ringing my insurance & the AA to get recoveryn of both vehiclesn I was told because of the location of both vehicles the police would have to arrange to get them moved. on my insurance I had paid for a courtesy car but was told that if my car was deemed to be a writeoff coutesy cars are not given to the policy holder.anyway i have bought a car, pick up 1pm Monday so I require to insuree it . Used the insurance search web sites & most had prices ranging from £385 - £570 plus a  few that were stupid quotes. I never hid the fact of the accident. My insurance was with Aviva & except for an accident line the telephone is obsolete. .online only.
    however i submitted to Aviva another insurance application to start from Monday & for a quote & they came back with £1,579. i have had car insurance plus commercial vehicle cover since the late 1960,s  & never made a claim or had a claim against me. talk about sick as a parrot.  its paying for a courtesy thats got me riled , nothing is explaind when the box is ticked.

General Discussion Area / retirement age
« on: 12 June 2023, 15:35:50 »
  i kinda agree with the french that are objecting to a retirement age increase. not all occupations are the same,  some jobs that entail bending hundreds of times a day in all climates for instance those jobs take thier toll on a persons body probably more than a lot of other types of employment that have not got those type of tasks. lower the pension age not increase it is what i say
