hello Martin whats a "X20XEV" what is this part? I probably have had it done

X20XEV is the technical name for the engine itself.

Sorry my car is Vauxhall CDX 2.0l 16v s reg 96,000miles

the thing is everyone has a different solution to my prob.... are any of you mechanics and live in London and can gaurntee a fix? I have been ripped off by mechanics that say its x,y,z when its non of them! the tech 2 machine says its all clear... this must mean there is a blockage.... in the 1st gear you press excellerator full and the car just about moves... you should be able to wheel spin the car!

any body will to fix it? or know anywhere I can go? I am desperate!!! I will travel anywhere in London..iam in Greenwich

many thanks

Humm i suspect blocked breathers would not help... real problem on the 2.0's.. i just cleaned mine big improvement.

As for it stalling all the time, i too suspect the idle control valve! Take that off and give it a good clean with some carb cleaner.

If its help your after... i can be around. I am going back to uni soon at Brunel West London. I have a house in Hayes, Jc3 of the M4. You can either bring it over, or if i get some tools together pop over on the tube.

I strongly suspect idle control valve & breather problem.

Yup.

The blue cameras are digital and are a smarter :)

Sorry, but the cameras coloured blue simply monitor traffic flow.  Traffic master and other traffic systems use them and the information they generate for their traffic reports....  They are coloured blue in order to distinguish them from the speed cameras.

However, there is a new type of digital camera around they are mounted on a taller pole than the Gatso and these are digital, sending the images via an ADSL connection.

For more info about cameras - follow this link: http://speedcam.co.uk/index2.htm


This is what i meant by the blue camera:



These are speed cameras and are digital, they don't need lots of markings in the road, just very 2 slim lines in the road.

These ones are digital, and do not run out of film.

Yup.

Speed cameras are not as smart as they want us to belive.

As Fin says they take 2 photos, the older grey type cameras which are Gatso's both photos have to be compared by hand by someone. They then count the number of lines your passed between each photo.....

The blue cameras are digital and are a smarter, but again take 2 photos

since you were crawling your fine dude.  :)

you could always mount a small camera on the back parcel shelf, and record it yourself.. along with the reg plate.

£600 per side!  :o

And I was fussing over a £200 cat back system, with geniune GM parts for mine!  ;D

Very good point, something worth mentioning though. That Which? car guide i talked about before, although they complained about the Omega, it was in the 'Luxury' section, along with big Jag's and 7 series....

I'm going to make enquiries about this tomorrow:

http://www.specialistcars.net/newspecialistcars/carpages/05.htm

You seam to get a hell of a lot of car there for you money!

Looks very tidy as well and looked after.

I have been in a 728, and it does't hang about. Ok so its not the fastest out of the blocks, but who cares?

To be honest if your in the market for a 7 Series, you not looking for pace?

Looks good, although servicing maybe high, and those tyres don't look cheap!

I'd be happy to own that though, and i suspect its fast enough.... just not quick enough for Paul!  ;)

hummm thats acually quite nice!! Not too sure on the bling bling wheels.

Always liked the looks of the new RR's.

The interiors are nice too, you don't have car seats in the new RR. You have armchairs!
