Help Wanted..
« on: 23 March 2010, 15:28:59 »
Just been out in Peachy, needed to go Doctors and was only mode of transport, only had to go get a precrition for old lady next door, but it went wrong. Got to town, Parked up, and duly collected prescription and cashed it.
Now, when I started car, she sounded really rough, and EML is now flashing. It has in my opinion given up the ghost, as I could only get home in limp mode, and climbing Twyn Hill is not fun in Limp mode.
I called a few Garages again, and they do not wanna touch the car on bank 2-4-6. Why is this?
TIA Diane

Flashing EML with car running - DO NOT DRIVE IT FAR, cat damage will occur.

Is parked on drive and thanks for a speedy reply.
Not used it in over a week or so, and I needed to help Mrs Jenkins as the chemist could not deliver until friday.
Oh well, you do someone a favour and it always backfires,

Like I said, I really needed to get to the Chemist for Mrs Jenkins next door and as my son was in work and god only knows when he will turn up, I wanted to catch it. I knew I should have not, but she really needed her script.

You should get away with a short trip.

2.4.6 bank is not that bad to do...about 40 mins or so tops.

Perhaps there just used to servicing mine wagons down your way  :y

I've done bugger all with the V6s, but would be willing to have a go.

Not sure that the doc would approve though, given my current medical condition.

To do that bank its a case of plenum off (not to hard), get teh cable tray out the way (not hard), remove the coil pack (not to hard) and refit
