Just because something was previously changed,. doesn't mean that a) it's not faulty or b) not correctly fitted.We have found problem!!!!!! Verry funny thing One small wire on battery - Ground was too rusty so it was poor connection with ground. (sorry hard to explain in English ) And someone asked photos of car. So I made a few |

Meanwhile............Wee Jimmy Krankies husband has now been charged with pocketing a very large sum of SNP donations. When I was on the throne this morning I couldn't help but think of wee nippy dropping into the ocean lol! |

One thing that is mandatory ,yet I doubt ever gets tested .....
"speedometer is working correctly and gives an accurate reading" obviously speedos are NEVER tested on AUDIs, Golf GTIs (or golfs pretending to be GTI, with Ebay badges,) etc |

reversing lights on a pre 1 September 2009 are not a fail ,but may get an advisory ,similar to the spare tyre . I guess it's down to the NT on the day ,he/she/them could miss such items whilst desperately trying to find something that is a fail/money making opportunity ,Kerching £$£$£ Indicators on a BMW are tested , even though the BMW driver may never* use them *Except when parked on double yellow lines , zigzags outside a school |

Whilst they may not fail, isn't there a requirement that if equipment is fitted but not a compulsory item, ie rear wash wipe, it should work as expected otherwise be marked as an advisory item

Finished rebuilding the top end of an Omega v6 today, and didn't have a 2-4-6 coil pack (I gave it away to someone in need over the winter). No problem, popped to Euro Car Parts, they had a "Starline" one in stock, £90 odd.
Got everything together and was pleased to see the engine started well after open heart surgery and was idling nicely / quietening down quickly etc with no warning lights. 10 minutes into idling as it started to warm up, the tone changed, it started hunting, and then "bop, bop bop" that unmissable sound of a misfire. Flashing EML, etc. Plugged in the code reader - misfire cylinder 6. Compression tested - good compression. Looked at the (brand new) spark plug, wet with fuel, so clearly getting petrol. So I swapped the coil packs between the banks...... cleared the codes and restarted.... and..... misfire moved to cylinder 5. So the BRAND NEW coil pack is Duff. Yes I know pattern parts can't be relied on to last very long, but I hoped it would at least get me to the MOT on Monday. Sadly, the MOT is now postponed, and I have to wait until mid week for a Bosch item to arrive from Autovaux. Faulty straight out of the packet - absolute Joke. |
