General Discussion Area / toyota avensis with weird noise
« on: 13 March 2009, 19:54:31 »
My father has a 51 plate avensis - after braking, when releasing the brake pedal there is a sort of loud spring noise ' g doinggggg' like.  more often than not.  noise is toward front centre of the car.

Has anyone got an idea what it could be?  checked the obvious, broken coil spring, broakes seem in good order etc

Thanks in advance

General Discussion Area / irratic idle on a veccy b - ideas?
« on: 09 February 2009, 19:33:57 »
Parents veccy b is playing up.  i think it's an X18XE.  the idle speed is irratic - sometimes climbing to 2000.  the ICV has been dismantled and cleaned - made it worse.  no fault codes stored

ideas?  is it a new ICV?  if so where's the best place to get one?

TIA

General Discussion Area / frontera 3.2
« on: 07 January 2009, 18:52:39 »
Hi  I'm contemplating buying a Frontera 3.2 late ish model 2003.  (not going to get rid of the meega cos I still want a motorway cruise)  No great reason for doing so other than a bit of variety and I've never had a 4x4 before and you get load of metal for the money

Is there anything I should look out for?  I would guess manuals are better than auto (on the ground that I've never realy understood how you drive an auto offroad)

Any thoughts: am I mad?

General Discussion Area / central heating on the blink
« on: 28 November 2008, 11:54:24 »
right - I know nothing about these systems (yet) but suspect I'm going to learn quickly.

Symptoms are

Bioler fires, pump works and it heats hot water.  turn the radiators on and you get nothing.  Relay in the controller sound like it is moving.  thermostat is working (tested that).  where next?  What is the most likely cause; controller or something else.  Can someone point me in the right direction to diagnose

thanks in advance

General Discussion Area / new laptop, help appreciated
« on: 01 January 2008, 20:12:23 »
Hi, looking to buy a new laptop for less than £500.  Am tempted with the Sony Vaio NR10 at £490, but wondered if there are cheaper alternatives.  The vaio had 2gb ram and 160gb memory. on a intel dual core 1.46hz.  Am not a techie so would appreciate help. Is the Toshiba  Equium A200 ok? Currys has it on £400 (a £100 discount on the original price). it has the same main specs as the vaio, though I suspect the graphics and sound card is not as good.  am concern about reliability.  using it at home for surfing and music.  thanks in advance.

General Discussion Area / lambda sensor and TC
« on: 03 March 2007, 21:46:21 »
Just heard that my parents veccy B has succumed to the dodgy petrol.  I'm going to try blowtorching the lambda sensor (read that somewhere) but if that fails then I need a new one.

I don't have a TC card yet but reckon it will be worth it if the discount on this is big enough.  Does anyone know whether lambda sensors are on TC and if so what the rough discount is (car in question is 1997 X18XE).  THat would help me decide to shell out the £20 to get TC card.

Also, any suggestions of the place to get non OE from?
