hi all, thanks for the response, the car had a service a while ago (wasnt a cheap service either!) so im assuming/was under the impression that the fuel filter had been changed, this may be worth a second party look to see if it had

hi all, 174k miles 1.9td pd130 i need some advice/help please, for a few months now i've had a long standing issue with juddering when accelerating i've had a few mechanics plug diagnostic machines in and only part-pinpointing the problem firstly, on idle, injectors 1 and 4 are in minus...

definitely lesson learnt, i should have known better seeing as ive tinkered with cars for 16 years iAutoUK.com is where i took it, nothing like a back street grease-monkey garage well £41 later and £20 worth of castrol edge oil, its sorted :)

ive just dropped the car off at a local service centre on the same business park as my work, hopefully i can pick it up later, another £41 down the plughole... (had to fork out £140 yesterday for a new window on my porch)

thanks guys, i did drive it to work this morning which is 10 miles, everything seemed ok although running temp raised quickly problem is i take the motorway back home and really dont fancy the journey

hi, yes there was no oil showing on the dipstick at the time i thought the minimum marker was the first indentation (to which oil was below) and the maximum marker was the second indentation?

hi all got a bit of an oil problem, yesterday on the way home from work my oil light came on, so when i got home i left it for a while, then went out and checked it, dipstick showed that it was bone dry, i should state here that ive been a bit irresponsible and havnt checked the oil for about 6...

to be honest, unless you have severe OCD, you don't really need to purchase expensive over hyped products online from companies that have only been around for 2 weeks at all. i truely believe that as long as you know for sure what you want/need to buy from halfords, its a perfectly good place...

looks like its not going anywhere, i havent got the tool to reach to the battery clamp to get the battery out, nobody is answering their phone (brother and best mate) and i cant see how im meant to drain this water out the footwell, i really do dispair sometimes, thanks for all your advice dan

thanks, all the electrics under the carpet are under water, its about an inch deep, the windows wont go down either so that explains that, the battery is going to need to come out for sure

well wouldnt you beleive it, just had a look at the passenger footwell and its completely soaked, as in a squidgey puddle, i dont think this will be caused by the trim, so how else would the water of got there and how do i lift the carpet? many thanks

thank for the reply, will go check the footwell shortly, admitedly the under door trim is off on the passenger side as i started to feed the amp cabling underneath to the additional sub, but then got bored half way through and didnt finish it also, above the bulk head where the battery sits...

hi all, another new problem (a4 b6 saloon) heard a car alarm going off today for ages, thought to myself, what idiot hasnt checked his car alarm is going off, then looked out the window, yip, it was my car... went out to the car to unlock, but noticed the driver door, and rear doors were...

morning all, it recently come to my mind that i only have 1 cup holder (and a card holder i dont need), the cup holder i have is on the passenger side, however id like dual cup holders, im sure i could find the other on ebay, but my question is what do i do with the ESP button? im also...

hi all, slightly confused, im in need of one of these, sounds simple just to pop on ebay, type in the key words and hey presto! but looking at the footwell and the shape of the rest needed dont seem to match up, by the looks of it, i need one that has a curved side to a point that meets the...
