Thanks Pedro. Will get a look at these this week hopefully. Appreciate your reply 👍

Hi there, so after several years without issue my 156THP after being left standing for a few weeks decided to throw up a Engine Fault check message on the centre display yesterday, checked the codes and it’s P0070 & P0494 - then given the battery was slightly sluggish on first turnover I took it...

it’s all to do with the batteries state of charge which is measured by the ECU every time the key is cycled on. The economy mode is a previously stated a system protection in order to maintain sufficient amps for starting the vehicle. The reason for varying times of it being activated is due to...

Welcome John

HDI exhaust temp & Oxygen sensor position if that’s of any help…..

It’s a revision redundant connector - all OEM’s uprev wiring harness’s throughout a models life as facelifts or components evolve over the product Life but use up stock of each harness iteration or make running changes that result in connectors or wires becoming redundant until the next...

If it’s not working for locking/unlocking nor when selected for either indicating right or when the hazards are activated then it’s likely to be a wiring issue to the light itself, and I would also check the plug to the holder for pins bent/corroded and then put the hazards on with the plug off...

Aye I think you are right guys as it seems there is not enough pressure in the pedal action with all the air in the system to push to fluid through, so I’ve ordered a Sealey pressurised brake bleeder so will give that a go when it turns up end of the week and let you know how it turns out 👍

Hi all, hoping someone can advise as it’s annoying the **** out of me. So needed rear brakes pads & discs, so whipped off the old stuff and the first caliper went back fine, the second one though wouldn’t budge back so I removed it and left the pipe in a jar to catch the wee bit of fluid I...

Got these images from another topic on here regarding bulb type (can’t remember who 🙏) but these show what is where on the Mk1 ….

Yes and no 😀. Yes cylinder 1 is closest to the timing chain, which is on the left of the engine bay when you look at it, so therefore read from left to right in your numbering and all will be well - 1,2,3,4. Let us know how you get on. 👍

I would swap coil packs from cylinder 2 to cylinder 4 and see if the fault moves. If it does there’s the issue as firing issues directly impact on timing and phasing of both fuel injection and boost.

Design evolution right there - common in all OEM’s globally; first product has an issue, fix it with the same, same result so redesign, guess what version 1 still failing but version 2 has stemmed the mortality ratio - collective sigh of relief 😅 then new models get version 2 until version 3 is...

If the clutch was slipping then the rpm would increase in spikes when changing gear as in you up shift and apply throttle and the revs increase quicker than road speed would normally, hence the term slipping. Another test is 2nd gear hand brake on and try to pull off (don’t keep doing it or it...

The video that vicsunus posted suggests that either the bushes in the clutch pedal itself need silicone grease spray (just lie in the footwell and with left hand pull the pedal up and down whilst spraying the bushes/bar with silicone spray - sounds easy….😃) or the cylinder rod actuator is...

Leather seats in cars are like leather sofas to the same degree in that people overlook the fact that as it’s a hide and in dry (hopefully) warm environment it will dry out over time and this in turn leads to cracking/splitting and wrinkling, which to counteract and ensure it looks it’s best is...

Tyres as Neil suggests are varied and can be an emotive topic, but ultimately it’s an individuals own circumstances and preference that tends to dictate the choice. I am in my own opinion am someone who saves for the best tyre as it’s the contact surface between car and road thereby always buy a...

Now that as they say is a ‘result’! Nicely done pal. Happy motoring 👍

Is there no way to identify the manufacturer of the switch and see if there is an alternative that can be sourced from somewhere in UK/EU? Do you have a picture of the switch? It’s function? It’s obviously a 12V DC, is it a pressure or black/white type switch? (As in on/off signal) or variable...

You’re right there! Main dealer wanted 299 quid for the motor and 276 quid for the regulator 🤮 So I got a complete set from a breakers and then just changed it all together as a unit. It does mean I now have the spare original passenger window motor as it was the cables that had snapped and not...
