General Car Chat / Vectra

« on: 30 April 2012, 11:06:22 »

I was going to post it in the general car chat but thought it would get a bigger audience in this section.

Is anyone near to Berkhamsted (Herts) who fancies doing a cam belt change on a 1.8 vectra on an 04 plate.  Been quoted quite a lot from a garage.

Had a look and the clutch pedal thing is there but i did notice on a test drive that as i drive along all is well but when i slow for a roundabout etc the car will stall, not all the time, however if i just brake it doesn'#t appear to do so.  I have ordered a clutch pedal thingy mentioned above (a £5 on e-bay).  I will let you all know if it works.  I also check the ICV and the car idles perfectly so don't think it's that.

General Car Chat / Help Ford Focus Ghia 1999

« on: 02 April 2012, 19:49:08 »

I hope someone of you geniuses can help with this.  My brother has a focus and it keeps cutting out.  The symptoms are as follows:-
The speedo stops registering a speed,
The digital miles stop clocking up
The car cuts out when the car is slowing/as the clutch is depressed

It has recently had a new fuel filter fitted (he was told this was the problem)

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as i'm not too good on Fords.

Forgot to mention i'm up North in Lincoln.

Thanks in advance  Jack

Cheers i knew i could get the answer here.  I'm assuming it's the log book and a visit to the dealers?

Can anyone help with a question for a friend.  She has lost her spare key and is wondering if she can just have one cut or will it need to be coded.  She has one key which locks and unlocks on the blipper and then she has one that is just a blade.  The question i have is, will the blade one start the car (she thinks it will) or will she need to get a coded one?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / HID'S

« on: 28 February 2011, 08:27:55 »

Hopefully i now have all the bits i need.  I'm looking at the five pin pklug from the old projectors and it has 4 wires in it and i have the one i've taken from the HID donor car and it has three wires.  I'm assuming that the yellow wire into the Ballast box is the live for it and the brown wire is the earth.  The question i have is can i take a feed off the brown wire in the five pin plug and place it in the ballast box?
Please don't ask me about the self levelling etc as i'm not fitting it i'm only adding the headlights.

Shane, when you've done this could you do a 'How to' as i've just read the reply but it doesn't really help me as i'm not too good with the spanners.  It doesn't sound too hard but i'm still none the wiser.

Omega General Help / HID part number

« on: 14 February 2011, 09:44:07 »

Can anyone assist me with the part number and potential price of the lead that attaches to the back of the bulb and goes into the ballast pack.  I'm assuming they can be bought seperatly?

Thanks for all the advice but just to clarify i do need the bits asap and i'm fairly sure if i did apply for a trade car from ABS it wouldn't arrive on time.

Omega General Help / Vauxhall trade card

« on: 02 February 2011, 14:27:58 »

Has anyone got a vauxhall trade card in the Hertfordshire area (i live in Berkhamsted).  I'm going to the cam belt meet in Farnborough at the end of Feb and i need to ut a few parts from the main dealer.  I'm willing to travel a bit but i'm a bit tied up with work so might not be able to go too far.  Thanks in advance.

TB as usual the forum is very helpful.  Is there a "how to" on the subject?
