General Car Chat / 2.2 DTI owners
« on: 25 January 2020, 00:06:53 »
any dti owners will you please let me know if it applies . i have stuff for a 2.2 dti & would like somebody to benefit as i no longer own one.
i promise i wont be asking for any monies . in a week all will be dumped if i get no takers. it just seems a waste as i would be dumping a perfectly good aux belt tensioner & belt as well as other stuff. first to pm me will get.

General Car Chat / another oil ??
« on: 09 December 2019, 22:10:51 »
i posted a comment about my nieghbours excessive oil usage in a pug 1.4 petrol car. at the time he told me on a 120ml trip he needed to put 2ltrs in it. he also remarked that apart from that it runs smoothly. its reccomended to use 0.30 , 5 .30 & 10.30 according to ep,s fitment details . anyhow he asked me if i had any oil whilst he could get some . i had about 15ltrs left of gm 10/40 so he topped up with some of that. i,ve not seen him for a week but today he told me the oil situation has been ok.

friday morning i had a phone call to say my son had been taken to hospital with a heart attack. he had phoned his doc,s surgery to say he had serious chest pains & they sent an ambulance to take him to hospital. 36 hours later having nothing been found to be wrong with him he was discharged & allowed home. it turned out it was a reaction to a vape cig. how it was diagnosed he had another puff of the thing when he got off the hospital premises & almost immediately got the chest pains back.

General Car Chat / renault 1.5dci problem
« on: 02 October 2019, 20:32:03 »
renault is going into limp mode under pressure, he is talking about scrapping it has he thinks it ignition pump & injectors at fault. a mate of mine has had a diagnostic on it & its saying ignition fault. when the ignition card is put in stage 1 is not doing anything but stage2 everything goes on & it will start ok. when he drove it & it seemed to go into limp mode he reckoned he pushed the card in it righted itself. so he thinks it the card reader at fault.

General Discussion Area / petrol (self driven ) lawnmower
« on: 21 September 2019, 11:57:06 »
the lawnmower that i have is a typical pull start job. on starting its always been a bit hard to start & when it is going it is slightly backfiring . near to me there is a service place that sells & repairs all types of machines. i spoke to one of their fitters and he told me that because modern petrol contains ethanol small machinery that,s not on daily use can get a small amount of water in the fuel tank causing the problem. apparently there is a product that when added to petrol alleviates the issue. when i asked him what it was he just said bring the machine in & for £50 plus time & any bits they would sort it. spark plug ,air filter are ok. just need to know what the additive is.
