EML light is permanently on now! starts struggling when accelerating - feels underpowered, when the light does go off, which is hardly ever, it drives lovely, nippy and smooth

Well, thats because you have a known knock sensor issue (or was that fixed?)

Just picked my car up!
Gave it a quick burst up the A420 in Oxfordshire
The mechanic has cured the EML lumpy ride etc
He said he done some "re-routing of cables"
Didn't charge me anything else, thank fook!
Hooray!! got 115mph out of her and she's still got a bit more!

After spending £450 last October on the MOT test, 4 new tyres, exhaust clamp and brackets.....then £110 for 6 months car tax and deposit of £45 for my new Elephant.co.uk car insurance provider.....and then today I've paid the £350 for shiny new HT leads, genuine Vauxhall distribution coil pack, spark plugs and a £15 eastern European valet inside and out.... that's a damn total of £970!!!!!!

No more torture!!

She don't look bad for a 13 year old car though

All that money I spent and i could have bought a decent VW Passat TDi!

All service/general running items really

You may have been able to buy a Passat, but you couldn't have insured and taxed it too

Oh for breaks sake!!!!

I knew it!


just put petrol in the garage, started the engine
turnt the heating on in the car and it's just cool air, even when set to Hi
No heat whatsoever

what now!?!? surely not someat else

why is this crap going on

[amba]

Bet your "trusted mechanic" has re routed the pipes and either disconnecteca vacuum pipe or got into a mess with the HBV .

Take it back and ask him to do the job properly as he seems less than competant IMHO.

[Wayne]

oh, it'll be going back on Monday and I'm gonna go ballistic

anyone on here good with this type of stuff?

[Wayne]

so, what's he done exactly and is it easy to Fix it so it works and gives me heat??!!
it's also making a scraping and screeching type noise coming from the cambelt area

Do I need to check error codes again via Paperclip?
