    Car Veers to the left!!!

    Took it back into Rentech today and put the rear wheels onto the front and vice versa. That fixed the problem that I've had for over a year and a half. I can finally drive in a straight line.

    Car Veers to the left!!!

    Still Veers to the left. I have to drive constantly holding the steering wheel (as you supposed to lol) as soon as I let go the steering wheel moves to about 56 seconds and then the car drifts off!! Just had the suspension arms replaces as one was proper knackered. Its really, really annoying...

    Failed MOT lol

    I've had problems with the cars steering, drifting to the left, I knew it wasn't the tracking as its been done before. Took it into Rentech this morning and within less than 1 min, Mike spotted the problem, it was a dodgy Suspension Arm, with the car in the air, the wheel was very loose and...

    Exhaust Emissions High!!

    I should have taken the car to you but it was just so much easier at the time to take it to a place near kwik fit behind matalan as I could walk there. When i drop my car in on Tuesday can you check that out also. Just hope the steering problem doesn't cost too much to fix!!!

    Exhaust Emissions High!!

    oh right, i've just thrashed it, didn't want to but this dick chav was up my arse and then overtook, think he impressed his missus lol. I then stormed passed him. (Obviouslt at 70mph :)). + 50 but that should have cleaned it. Do garages do free emissions tests?

    Exhaust Emissions High!!

    He didn't give me the reading, he just said they were high. Just rang me and said the emissions were high and when was the last time it was services, I said 15,000 miles ago lol. So he said do you want a service as well so i said yeah. As it did need one.

    Exhaust Emissions High!!

    What could be causing this, the man i went to see to do my MOT said it failed first time round but then only just passed on the seconds reading and 3rd reading on the 2nd test. He said it was over fuelling but didn't know why?

    Failed MOT lol

    Knowing me i'd brake something, I can easily do the filters, never done brakes or oil. Oil is easy if you have something to collect it in haha, i'd spill it anyway. Anyway he ran the emissions test again and it failed the 1st test but passed the second, only just. He said there is something...

    Possible Steering Rack Problem

    I get knocking also but i've had that for years. The cars 5 year old now. My brother said he took it to a garage and the man said it maybe the steering rack as there was movement/give in the wheels. The cars been brilliant for me so far, no major problems at all. So i guess if it is the steering...

    Possible Steering Rack Problem

    Right, Had this problem for a while now and its not the tracking. My car veers to the left constantly I can't leave go of the steering wheel for more than 2 seconds as i change lane on the motorway. Also the steering wheel itself resorts to a slightly left turn look rather than being dead...

    Car Veers To Left

    I had a 4 point alinement's check done last week also. I had a ball join replaced for my last MOT. Do you think its because I have one new ball join and one old one?

    Car Veers To Left

    Veers to the left, thought it was my rear tyres as they have 2 mm tread difference, but obviously not. Anyway i've now got 4 new Eagle F1's and it still veers to the left, the steering wheel turns slightly to the left also. You keep the steering wheel straight but moves to the left once you...

    Vents Not Working on 182 [Fixed]

    Re: Vents Not Working on 182 Can someone please remark the title to this thread [FIXED] I took it out and when I started to move the fan itself it would kind of work. I spun it manually and it started to go so I must have helped it along. I then pulled it and when I kept my hands on it you...

    blowers always blow really hot air

    Surely this Air con has nothing to do with this? Or maybe I'm wrong.

    Heater Fan/Motor not working

    I moved it today, removed scuttle panel and the wire connections, removed two small bolts/screws and then pulled it out. was caught on something at the bottom, so yanked it and some of the plastic snapped. Motor seems ok, little dusty, will check it tomorrow as i need to buy a fuse.

    blowers always blow really hot air

    Do you have climate or manual controls? Maybe the switch is knackered, that controls the heat.
