    Clunk through steering wheel

    Hello, I've noticed that I can feel a slight clunk through the steering wheel when I pull away from rest. I notice it most when I'm in traffic and pull away slowly. I can't seem to hear any noise. Dose anyone have an idea of what could be causing it? Thanks.

    Can you identify what this is?

    Hello, Can anyone identify what this is on the inlet manifold of my CCWA 3.0TDi engine? I've bought a snakecam/boroscope and hope it might be an inspection hole to allow me to see the swirl flaps. Cheers.

    Hello, On my MOT I had an advisory about my passenger side lower ball joint having very slight play. Probably due to all the pot holes on my drive to work. Is this a job that I could do myself? I've seen some videos which need the drive shaft popping out of the hub. Don't fancy that. Lastly...

    AMI power down time

    Hello, Does the AMI power down on a timer after the ignition is turned off or the key is removed? Also, can I change the timing in on/off menu in the green engineering menu? I've got my router connected to it and I don't want it draining the battery too much. Thanks.

    Crazy DAB problem

    Hello, I am having issues with my DAB where it loses signal. I've checked the antenna amp and cables which seem OK.
