Re: Yet another light .... “selflevel susp. inact”
So it turns out it’s the left 01 ride level sensor. interestingly for quite some time i have had a vibration through the seat at about 60/70, then occasionally via the steering wheel when breaking and I’m wondering it it could be related? I thought it was the wheel balancing or tyres but I have them ...

Yet another light .... “selflevel susp. inact”
So I’ve just had another “happy” light..... from a google search doesn’t seem like too much of a worry but I’d appreciate any direct experience. Just spent a fortune last week and I have a good few weeks of travel planned and could really do with the car!

Re: Shaking at 60mph - not tyres or balancing
Re the tyres and wheels, my local shop took them off last week, checked and rebalanced. I was booked in to buy a new set and they said it wasn’t needed.

Shaking at 60mph - not tyres or balancing
Hey guys. As above it’s not the tyres so before I start pulling it apart I wondered if anyone else had a similar issue and resolved? Basically at about 60-70 there is almost like a rattle or surge in the car. Feels like it’s in the seat but also through the wheel to some extent .... but it’s hard to ...

Fuel gauge & temperature
Gents, I hope you are all well. As you’d expect not used the car in quite sometime and today went to start it and it was a struggle to get it to start. Not ideal, but the stranger part was it said the outside temp was about -41 and the fuel light was on but its half full! I assume it’s be battery so ...

Is this the same for us all?
Guys, had my car less than 6 months (4.4 03 with 53k) and it’s forever in the garage. All different things, but again tonight, 2 weeks after another £500 spent and there’s and engine management light - no idea what it is as I don’t have a reader, but I’m at a loss. Any suggestions on a good reader I ...

Re: Wouldn’t start.... one thing after another!
Well as it’s intermittent there is no rush now - plenty of time to see if there is a way for me to pinpoint any other possible causes!!

Re: Wouldn’t start.... one thing after another!
So the garage have had my car and said the best guess is the starter motor and that’s going to be £500. Being intermittent I’m going told off for now — any thoughts?

Floppy / broken passenger electric wing mirror
Yet another problem- seems like 3 per week at the moment!! Now the passenger folding or rows broken - it won’t fold in and out by the button, and when I manually move it’s just floppy. Anyone know if it’s a self fix for a novice or If you think a garage would be best?
