    Dash lights/engine check lights stay on for ages after starting

    And something else to add.. there is even a delay on the hardbrake light going on and off even after all of the other lights have gone off. If I put the handbrake on, it takes about 5 seconds for the light to come on the dash, and the same if I take the hardbrake off. Strange behavior..

    Dash lights/engine check lights stay on for ages after starting

    They go off after about 20-30 seconds. Is it worth chucking some wd40 in there?

    Strange warning light behavior!

    Thats where I had the service done. They quoted about £700 to have the turbo changed but someone I work with had the same issue and the turbo failed just after 2 years again... and that made me think about having a non-refurb part. I am really fed up at the moment as so many things are going...

    Strange warning light behavior!

    I thought that it may be better to get a new one with a decent warranty on it. For a few quid more it might be worth it in the long one. Just need to find a decent garage in Milton keynes now that will not rip me off for the diagnosis!

    Strange warning light behavior!

    Hi All, Just wondering if anyone else has had the same issue as I have. A few months back the turbo started failing. The car would become sluggish when coming out of roundabouts and the turbo would fail if I gave it too much hard driving when the car was cold. So I don’t do that now and I am...

    Wipers missing a patch on windscreen

    Sorry mate I dont know what you mean to fix it.. do you mean you WD40'd the rubber on the wipers? I can see that there seems to be a weak point where the arm connects to the wiper.

    Wipers missing a patch on windscreen

    Hi All, I have the same problem. I purchased new blades today (genuine parts) and the problem is still there (one small patch on the drivers side in line of sight) which is quite annoying. Did the tug on the wiper arm solve the problem or did you have to replace the wiper arm? Might give...
