Sometimes 'her' Multipla will not start.
It either starts immediately or just turns over and over not firing. Do
these have a factory fitted immobiliser? It has no alarm.

I have been trying to look around the internet for a problem with my
car when I accidentally was able to go to this site.  I am quite
surprised that info would be found in a site like that.  I contacted
one of their costumer service reps and i was told that they are still

I expect you've had this question before so, sorry.

Can anyone please help with the wiring to the advance solenoid of the

Only two wires to play with ... both are white in colour but they have

Anyone know what the law is on repairing simple nail, screw etc holes in car
tyres ?. Is it allowed or banned?. Garage near me has repaired several
tyres this way in the past and they have always been ok, but I was told
recently that its not allowed any more. I don't do high speed ...

My cruise control in my 2006 tdi Touran stopped working last night.  It had
been working earlier on my journey but later on I noticed that the indicator
light had gone out and it wouldn't set.
I turned off the ignition, re-started and the light came back on, only to go

I have been topping up my oil and had a look at my battery. On the top of
the battery there are 4 circles with crosses in them like you could use a
philips screwdriver to open them. Could anyone tell me whats under them and
if they should be tampered with.

Hi, trying to take out a ford KA stereo for a mate to replace it,

(I've never worked on this car before so the following described visuals are guesswork. However I have rebuilt engines & gearboxes in
the past so am capable of most car stuff if I understand the issues.)
Started my BMW 320d (03 plate) this morning no problem.

My son's girlfriend has a 1997 Punto with the 1242cc engine. She said it
seemed to be running roughly of late and I had look under the bonnet
this morning.
There was mayo on the oil filler cap and the coolant was below the min

My friend recently bought a Renault Grand Scenic from a dealer.
Having done the deal, the dealer then said to them something to the effect of...
"We recommend that once a month you do an hour's run at 60mph to blow through the [something or other] filter through, otherwise you

Not sure if I am in the right forum.... Hope so.  I have put together a
pulley system that consists of two steel 3 inch loops.  One is looped inside
the other, so there is friction when they rub against each other under
stress (twisting-turning metal on metal).  Does anyone make ...

Hi, this is a strange one on me. At work we had a rover 216 (1995ish)
donated as we are a charity, when you rev the engine you can hear water
being circulated around.
It's as if water is being flushed around the engine/heater rad. This is when

While reading the "petrol in a diesel car" thread, I had a thought.  If a
larger amount of petrol was accidentally put in the tank, could top it up
with veg oil in to thicken it up again?  Veg oil has to be heated up to 80C

It's not lit, but appears it's greenish in colour.
Does this serve a notable purpose? Does it only emit light when the
battery's low? If so, green seems a stupid colour choice... Or more
