thanks all, fortunately i have a handsome mechanic who will look after this error

A "P1600" doesn't confirm the ECU is dead or faulty
it could be a damaged loom, connector pin, blown fuse .poor earth ,trapped wire or similar
even a sensor plugged in the wrong part of the loom or moisture ingress 
proper inspection and methodical diagnostics are required 

A couple of my cars have a fog light out, and as the MOT's are due in a few weeks, thought a couple of new bulbs.. job done. But when I took one of the non working bulbs out ,it's an H1, and not knowing the history on the car I wouldn't know whether that is the correct bulb  fitment for the Irmscher bumper. I know that the H1 or the HB4 are for the standard Omega fog lights, but that H1 gets really hot in those small Irmscher fog light housings, and was wondering, if anyone knows what is the  correct bulb and required wattage is. TIA

Reform UK is the only option for me.

I kind of hope your right, as I dread Starmer and co having a big majority when they win.

Not sure who to vote for come the election.

Starmer is terminally dull and uninspiring while our nipple high PM also leaves me cold.

Neither will get my vote.

I don't have any problem when choosing who to vote for, because my vote will make no difference in Barnsley

I think they are a spent force. They will lose a lot of seats to Labour come the election.

As long as they keep pedalling the anti - English tripe , people will keep voting for them

Does the Ecoboom last long enough to actually require a new belt?

Any mileage in retrofitting a 1.0 pinto in it's place

Or just avoiding the ecoboom in the first place.

That's the one


What the hell is a 1.0l Pinto? And don't forget, the normal 1.6 or 2.0l Pintos are long, tall and heavy when compared to similar capacity 4 cylinder engines. Not to mention expensive now that the cars they came in are well over thirty years old.

Wasn't that the original 1.0/1.1/1.3 Fester lump

The question has to be - Why !!!

Because it provides some minute, theoretical advantages for the designers that anyone paying for the bloody thing will never notice. I suspect that the originator of the idea was German, and we all know that German engineers are incapable of resisting any complication that can proved, no matter how tenuously, to be 'better'.
