Check the alternator control live hasn't snapped but most likely a new alternator needed. When you change it be sure to fit a new aux belt kit to... do it!

Change the lighter/power socket

Sounds like a siezed tensioner has collapsed or the alternator mount has snapped. Do not drive it or even start it until it has been rectified

You can't. Red flashing light is key not authorised to start the vehicle. Chances are it is going nowhere and a new key is required.

I've driven both the 200 and the 1.2tCe GT . Honestly, the RS is the quicker car (obviously) but if I had to buy one with my own money and for my needs I'd honestly go with the GT

If you can stretch to it then Mark Fish will do you well and then there's Fred at BTM and Dan at 519, both of whom have built very competitive F4's for use in various competition series. I'm no engine builder so I won't give you any advice other than these two snippets: 1 - Go to someone with...

Welcome tom, pics are essential so be sure to update this when you get some. Mick

l had exactly the same thing with a Scenic earlier today which sent me mental looking for the AC212 command to allow me to fill the HP pump... it's only the low pressure 1.5 so it doesn't have it but I was going stir crazy trying to find it. Sometimes you just need to play with it (Fnaarr Fnaaarr)

Depends on their ability... shall I expect a call from Dan? lol

ESP button lives on the panel to the lower right dash area of the steering wheel (where the illumination dimmer and cruise control switches also live if you have them) If you have the speedo sender gearbox setup then yes you can proceed to rip that s**t out like it ain't no "thaaang" but it...

Do you have an ESP button? If so its ABS driven

I know I only suggested to you before in a previous 'touch' on this issue but I still think it relevant... has the Bosch ABS/ESP module been replaced yet as I am pretty certain that your issue of blowing the main fuse is due to an internal module fault which is causing it to draw way too much...

There is one other issue that is being overlooked here Cub/Chip. By removing your ABS you will also remove the speed signal so you will not only have an ABS light on but with the removal of the signal it will also trigger the ESP/TC and EML (as these all require the speed signal to do various...

Revised buttons? What was so wrong with them?

Remove light from the car > remove all bulbs > tip light upside down and give gentle encouragement until bulb falls out of a hole.

Not shameful but sort out the HID ballast pack please, its upsetting me just sitting there lol

It'll be a wrinkle finish yes... the kids be loving it at the minute.

As per this

Also check that you plugged them back in!

The ph2 only has two wires Coops

Yeah I'd sooner have a good single malt myself but when in Den Haag on Queensday (when I was last there) you have to go along with such things and trust that the nice Dutch lady isn't trying to rape you for body parts hehehe

That's it and Its lekker!

The colour reminds me of that Orange "stuff" you boys and girls drink on Kingsday - Back to the wheels... I like them!

UCH is most likely cause i'm afraid then

Flashing MIL is because it has detected a destructive missfire amd could damage the CAT. Get it looked at properly

Unless there's an issue with the ECU triggers this is most likely a faulty CTS. Also, ref the coolant bleed issue you pm'd me about. Bleed it when its cold, put the bolt back in and then start the engine (holding 2.5k rpm until it achieves temp).

No, you will need a code reader of some description

The only way you can really tell the condition of a TPS is to look at it 'electronically'. It may not be physically damaged but if faulty could be telling the ecu that at idle the pedal request is still for 14% (just an example) so the revs increase. It could also be a few other things such as...

In a horrible, horrible place on the 172/182. Right at the back of the engine under the exhaust manifold... enjoy!
