    I was distracted and did the bolt up on top of the fuel filter housing with my impact and it snapped. Any idea what size the bolt is and if i can rethread the filter housing? Or even a temporary fix as car starts but pulls air and cuts out. I was thinking cable tie the housing to seal it as I...

    Hi - so recently Ive been keeping the fuel range on my dash just out of curiosity. I've filled up on a few occasions and noticed the range drop by about 25 miles within the few first mile or two of driving it. Is this normal? I've never paid much attention to it before, mainly using the gauge to...

    Hi there, I've had a vivaro for around 4 months now and it's been nothing but trouble; Injectors, engine mount, alternator and now it won't start. The engine turns over, kicks in but then the revs drop immediately. After some research I've looked at the fuel filter (seems fine) the manual...

    Hi guys. Just serviced my 2014 Renault Trafic 2.0 dci, which involved replacing the diesel filter. I bled the filter and all works fine withwno problems starting it. However, I have noticed that a very small amount of fuel is leaking from the base of the plastic bleed screw. I have tightened it...

    hi all, Need some help with an issue I have on an Insignia VXR - 2010. I’ve put a pic up of the codes showing up. The car seems to have constant power with the EML coming on every so often with these codes stores. Error codes P2178 & P069E. First impressions was perhaps to do with lambda...

    Hello all, I've recently brought a Vauxhall Combo van and when I collected the van, the previous owner warned me not to let the fuel gauge go down to a quarter of a tank because it runs out of fuel at a quarter of a tank. Has anyone had a similar problem and know how to fix it? seems to be a...

    Hi all So some little scumbag thought he would have a go at stealing my fuel, and now my door won't click closed, I have to line the hole up with the locking pin and hold it in place everytime I want to lock it now. I have no idea how to remove the fuel door to replace it. It's a 62 plate...

    I needed to drain the tank of my Astra. (It's a petrol/diesel thing!) I tried using the in-line pump, by operating the ignition switch repeatedly at 15 second intervals, but nothing happened so I took a peek at the top of the tank beneath the rear seats and it seems not to have an in-tank...

    Hi all, I thought I will turn into experts to shed some light on the issue I have experienced the other day with my Insignia 2.0 CDTI Elite 2009 Reg with just over 100k on the clock.
