General Car Chat / Re: Valuation please

« on: 27 October 2009, 17:23:10 »

there are so many price valuation sites around and every one will give you a diffo price. if you like the mig and are happy with the price then buy it and enjoy you only live once as when you get to the other side you wont need a car.

I know its halloween this week but i have just taken the key apart after todays toils and i did it very slowly and in good light and there is no transponder in it? The transponder is the very small black chip about 6 mm long i think in the side of the key right :-? if it was not in there before how has it been starting???

General Car Chat / Another day another fault

« on: 26 October 2009, 16:20:18 »

wife went to work this morning but found light traffic so stoped for a paper went back to her 2.2dti elite and the car would not start. So she rang me as i replaced the injector return lines yesterday. the car was working fine when i finished the job. It stated first time this morning. this afternoon when she had her dinner hour i took her back to the car with spare battery in the back just in case. Went to start car but would not go. In the end called out the RAC. Turned up in 20min good. Put his machine in the plug and it said that we had the wrong key. Same key she always has but this time the transponder did not work so i went back home got the other key and the elite started first time. That will be a new key i surpose. :-/ anyone else ever had anything like this?

can anyone help me with the draining of the fuel tank on the wife's old dti estate as there is about £60 of fuel in it and next week she will be ready to go as we have now got the log book for the new one and can move the plate over.

The Sun was out today so out came the jack and under the mig i went. found the rubbing sound. it was the heat shield on the down pipe so just gave it some adjustment and now the sound has gone. I then took the car for an MoT check. They said they could not find anything wrong but a small oil leak from the engine. So i asked about the big hole in the back box (which i will do tomorrow) the man saaid you are allowed a small hole (i don't think he had seen it) anyway if it had been an MoT it would have passed. Did not charge me for the check so im happy. Just some small jobs left on her then the wife has her new mig and the other one with a nice dent in the roof is now on the drive so we can take the reg off, when the insurance send the paper work to us .

hope things get better soon we put the new dti elite on the road today as took the insurance off the old one as don,t need it to swap plate over. so at dinner i came home and took the elite back to work the long way and it looks like we have a water leak i think its from one of the heater hoses on drivers side at the bulkhead will have to have a closer look in the morning . also a bit of a rubbing sound coming from front offside wheel hope its not wishbone that would just our luck at the moment.
