Good job it is an R. I don't think I could get away with the cost of a new engine on mine, by saying to my missus that there was 6mm left on the tyres. There again, she doesn't believe that a car should have a service anyway.
Basically it is a dodge, even Celtic Tuning website states that they "offer DPF solutions for Off-Road usage only". I think that say's it all, I agree with Pedro, anyone who has this done will be uninsured.
Sorry Pedro, to make it clear, my point was that the problem regards the Drop Link, was there before I took it for the 1st MOT. There was a knocking, thought it was nothing because not mentioned on 1st MOT inspection, thought OK. I cannot understand your comment about booking an MOT online and...
The more I look at this vehicle and it's history, the more I think that I would run away. I get a gut feeling that it has not been looked after. Is it a Part Ex?
The wife's Citreon C4 failed it's MOT when done at National Tyres cos Front Pad's less that 1.5mm. Took it to our garage that we alway's use, job done but they advised that we had a worn Drop Link. We had heard a slight knocking noise but assumed as not picked up on MOT, nothing serious...
I don't think that they actually remove it, I assume that they are switching off the reporting function via the ECU as they say it is "delete". Whilst a dodgy practice, I would think that technically it is legal although an insurance company make take a dim view of it, if you don't tell them...
Again to be plain, what all those current advisories, the previous MOT history including the fail, the previous advisories and the nature of them, they all scream to me neglect. It failed on not having any washer fluid, so you have to ask yourself about the degree of care given to the vehicle by...
Well it appear's that it has been misfiring on Cylinder 4, they have cleared the fault but is is still running rough. They have ordered a new set of plugs and a coil pack, due 1st thing in the morning. Replacing plug's 1st as they have never been changed and done just short of 36,500 miles and...
I have taken it into my local garage in Tattenhall and they will get the reader on it on Monday, they are very good and I have used them for years. As they say, when shit happens, it does. Took the wife's 2012 Citroen C4 for it's MOT this morning and it failed on front pad's being less than 1.5...
Again, if what you are describing is correct, when you start up, it is the vehicle is doing is going through it's "health check". If all OK, the warning light's go out, if not the relevant light stay's on and you get a warning message. I have a problem with mine at the moment, the EML light is...
Also the N/S light bulbs are a pig to change due to the limited access from the rear for hands. The wife's Citroen C4 is exactly the same layout and access difficulties, difference is the whole headlight cluster can be removed in two minutes allowing access, with the RCZ, it is not that easy.
Car has been sat all week, so thought I would take it for a run. All fine along the lanes, running like a gud un. Turned to go on the A41 on the 70 mph section for a blow, when in 4th gear foot going down, slight judder, EML light with "engine repair needed" message. It then went into limp mode...
Is replacing the tensioner a "pop out" exercise? I thought that it was at the back of the engine and is difficult to access and involves removing a few parts to get at it.
I also have never had a puncture since my 1st car in 1978 but I always used to have the piece of mind of having a spare. Since buying my wife's C4 and the RCZ this is the 1st time I have been aware that if I do have a puncture, there is no spare to fall back on, meaning new tyres would have to...
I received the Dynamic Indicators and they literally took 2 mins each to replace, I used a butter knife under the back edge with a cloth underneath it for protection of the paintwork and the old one's popped out, no problem. As mine is black, they look the Dog's.
I have just ordered some, which are due to be delivered tomorrow. As a retired electrician, I have loads of tools available to me but knowledge is king. Any advice on how to extract the old units without causing any damage would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to use a sledge hammer to...
