Bump! Update guys. I have been told it's the Oil Pump apparently it's kaput found some metal bits also in around there somewhere i'm guessing to do with the pump. He also said the chain or something was slack, going to see him tomorrow. He didn't mention anything else though like the...

J-J, oil seems ok, never had the oil light come on and the garage checked that first thing said it was ok although it does need an oil change and they did say it may has clogged up somewhere perhaps resulted it maybe the issues i have now.

Doesn't sound that bad when the bonnet is shut ;) seriously i reckon the Dephaser has gone like you and a few have said, found this video on youtube and i think it sounds similar not sure if it was anyone on here who posted it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy1teWk1UH8

I know that! that's why i'm seeking expert opinions mate in order to try and stop myself being totally ripped off.

Cheers Greeny. Cheers for that ditz, very helpful. I am slightly concerned that i may get ripped of but i am told that the bloke is a decent fella as he was recommended by a Mechanic who my Mrs is good friends with - he wouldn't touch it because he honestly said he could do 8 or 9 jobs in...

Cheers budd, any ideas cost wise for that little lot, ballpark figure? the garage are going to strip the engine to have a proper look on Mon. They seem to be ok, mate of my Mrs knows the blokes, it's also a MOT test place and my car needs a MOT as it happens - only way i found out about this...

Hi Greeny, just had a look at your video and yeah i reckon it does sound like that! is it expensive to fix? Ill put a video up tomorrow but the Garage reckons it will need a new Camshaft as they think something may have cut through something - can't remember exactly what he said. Should i...

Costly do you know? the garage who were top lads said it sounds like the camshaft as when the car was revved the engine sounded normal but on idle it sounded like a diesel very noisy! when they turned the engine off it came to a sudden weird sounding stop, not right they said. They said be...

Not had the cambelt done lads. Since i posted this i've been to a garage to have it looked at - friend of a friend and they had a good nosey and they seem to think it's the camshaft. It's going back in on Mon so they can strip it down and confirm this but they are confident that's what it...

Alrite guys, after some advice urgently. I took my car for it's MOT today but they said they can't do the emissions test because when they rev it at around 2500 they get a bad noise coming from the engine. They did say they would do it but it could wreck the engine so i was like :S Any...

Heartless bunch :dapprove: New battery it is as it's probably due one anyhow.

oh dear had to be pushed out from the petrol pump after turning my engine off but leaving my radio on, most :o I was wondering if it's a battery issue, on trying to start it again all i got was a tick tick tick noise but my lights worked dimmer than normal i think and my electric windows were...

Cheers, sounds good that as it's only 10 mins away and i won't be paying. Thanks mate, will take a look at that aswell.

I take it nobody has ever had work done in Manchester small city i know lol

Alrite guys, I'm after some recommendations for a few good bodyshops in the Manchester region. I need to get a few quotes for a nice lovely scratch some woman put on my car:mad: she will be paying for the damage but i need the quotes first. Anyone have any that they have used? i want a decent...

This happens to me when i'm accelerating hard in a high gear and going round corners quite fast! same solution?

Using Megs High Endurance and i've also got some Autosmart Tyre Dandy both good products find the Tyre Dandy a bit messy with it being a spray.

Re: Possible new splitter found!! Took me a bit longer than i thought it would due to the fact it was a pain in the ass screwing straight into plastic and i had a rubbish screwdriver. Piccy: Looks good though.

Sausage fingers that's a big problem... no cure i'm afraid :D

I tried getting mine off a while back and erm couldn't!!

Re: Possible new splitter found!! Here it is! Cost me £14.32 but i think that's because it came from the Warehouse within a couple of hours! dealer didn't have them in stock but they were having a delivery to which they kindly added this to, top service!! Highly recommend Mitchell...

Re: Possible new splitter found!! Cheers Marco. Picking mine up today after phoning and placing the order wahay!! What size self tappers? 20mm from Halfrauds is it?

Re: Possible new splitter found!! Alrite guys, I managed to bash my original one the other day, can anyone confirm the correct part number? 5J0 807 061 9B9 or 5JL 807 061 9B9 Cheers.

Thought i'd update this for anyone looking to have some tires fitted soon. I went with Etyres in the end and they were top notch, superb service a decent price too. I had it fitted at work, turned up on time nice bloke as well (Simon) did a great job - no scratched anthracite alloys! I'd...

Thanks for replying - looks like no one has any tires fitted these days lol! Yep tried 'em came back with something like £137 so you did well!

Anyone there!! Ok, i've done some digging and cheapest price i can find is £112.78 fitted, is that about right??

Alrite guys. I managed to limp to my works car park this morning. I need a mobile tire fitter to come to my place of work to fit a new one - any suggestions? i'm in the North West (Altrincham) Where's best to get some Pilot Exalto's? I used Blackcircle last time, they still my best bet...

would it! well see them bits top pic they somehow go back together to then fit back into the lock mechanism pictured in 2nd pic. I'm guessing someone would know what im talking about if they looked at the pics or maybe not! to be honest though that's all i really know, was hoping somebody may...

Firstly let me explain myself :o I'm posting this on behalf of my Mrs's old man who has a 1997 Ford Galaxy and is after some help, thought i'd try here before i sign up to a Ford site. Pics will maybe explain better so here they are, it's in bits as you can see! The bits: Inside...
