I've been focussing on the problems so much I've ignored the warning about my tail light not working. I checked them yesterday and one of the bulbs has got a black burn mark on the unit that plugs into the cluster. Could this have shorted things out and cause problems? I'm either a complete dumbass ...

Don't get down there at all really. Having said that, if someone or something were to encourage me to go there, I'd certainly make the trip. Perhaps someone with a knowledge of how to fix the friggin' thing I'm driving at the moment. Happy to buy a drink/pay reasonable amount for a proper fix ...

Just in case it needed saying again. 

What a fudging beast!  >:(

I had the car fixed by a chap who said it had gone into a transport mode as previously thought. The rear boot not opening (lower part) was just due to a fuse, even though I'd looked at them all, he said they can't always be checked properly by sight alone. He had to take it to someone with a ...

Yup. If it looked like it was gonna be a big job, I think I'd have to get my mate to either look at it himself or chip in, in some way. It would appear that it may be something less challenging though. It's been with another mate of mine for a couple of days and he's taken a look at it in between ...

I wish it was that easy. The chap who changed it is a friend of mine and whilst he's great at doing me favours, he's not so great at running his business. Put it this way, he has until Monday to pay a significant amount of money or he's having an awful lot of stuff repossessed. No joke. I'm annoyed ...

I'm at a loss. I checked all the fuses again, including the big ones, have disconnected the battery a few times, crossed the wires so the capacitors/memory drains from the car (went up to 30 mins for the longest drain) and when reconnected nothing changes. Spoke to a person at a local dealership who ...

Ta for the response. All fuses were checked, front and rear, and seem ok. A friend of mine with a Snap-on reader checked the codes, and there were a few, but he isn't familiar enough with them to know what they are. Not too helpful I realise, but I guess he can't know everything. I'll have another ...

Disconnected the battery today.  No fix.  Another  forum recommended connecting the cables from the car to drain the system of anything in the capacitors.

Any advice....... anyone? 

BTW I've got an LPG tank in the boot so anything that doesn't involve disconnecting the battery would be mahoosively beneficial.  :'(

Had the alternator go on the car and 'Trans failsafe' kicked in. Car died completely. Since then the alternator has been replaced but a few of my electrics haven't returned to full working order. I've checked the fuses but there appears to be no problems. I currently have no windscreen wipers and no ...

Hello peeps. Just a quick one:- Just bought a rather snazzy (I just said snazzy! I'm 33 ffs!) exhaust - Remus - for my 4.6 IS. On the box it says 3.0i and 4.4i yet the dude who I bought it from said the exhaust shall fit the 4.6. The 4.4's obviously a V8 so shall be similar but shall it definitely ...

I did think that.  When I first started towing it seemed to pull beautifully then as I got further into the journey issues-a-plenty. 

I'll dig about and see what can be done.  Thanks muchly. 

Hi there. Recently towed my boat (600-700kg) back from Bridport to my home town of WSM. On the way back the car wouldn't let me go into 5th, and sometimes 4th, and even on the motorway when I was on the flat it often wouldn't let me go into 5th. I think when I stopped, turned it off and started ...

I tell you what, I've definitely found myself being particularly benevolent and altruistic when it comes to offering other people the sound of the V8 roar. It's one of those things; you know when you're waiting at the lights in town and all the dicks have carried on crossing when the red man came up ...
