Caerphilly near Cardiff mate

Thanks for your reply is it is probably worth just giving it to a garage then.

Hi all, After searching the forums and having a few different suggestions I thought I would start a new thread to see where I should start first. I was driving my car and out of the blue the limp mode light came on and started revving on its own. It became undrivable so I pulled over and when...

Haha *after the MOT he will never see another one of my cars again. Dont worry I am not fitting them my mate is - I couldnt change a windscreen wiper.

I picked the car up last night and he was asking for £439 to fix all the problems. I told him he is having a laugh and asked for my MOT so I could do the work myself. Turns out the rear discs where pitted and was an advisory didn’t even need replacing. I bought rear shocks last night for £85 a...

I think he is taking the piss to be honest. My misses drove it there as well which prob didnt help.

Sounds like a plan to me. Thanks again.

Thanks lads. I will get the car off him.

Afternoon, I just put my car in for the MOT and it failed on a few things, I was quoted £340 for 1 rear shock absorber and discs and pads on the back. This cannot be correct can it? Say it’s £50 for the MOT surely it’s not £290 for one shock and discs and pads on the back. Do you think he is...

Does anybody know what this is? I have the same problem but its when I go over 100mph - on a test track of course.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry mate I couldnt find his number do you know it?

Hi Dan, Is there any chance you could mail me? I wanna book my car in, I have mailed you but your mail box is full. Thanks Sean

You are the local specialist I was talking about :) I will just have to get the time off work and drop it off for you.

Yeah I should of asked a few more questions, he did say it was a difficult job. On the site thingy it says he has 25 years experience with French cars. I thought it was to good to be true haha.

Yeah I thought as much I will just have to try and get some time off work and travel the 2 hours to get it done. Thanks for your help its much appreciated.

That's what I was thinking. I asked him twice because I couldn't believe it and he said they call them timing belt kits.

Hello All, I need my CAM belt done and I have been looking around local garages and as my local specialist seems to be 2 hours away I need to find one closer to home as I cant take the time off work at the moment. Anyway I have been ringing around and spoke to a few garages and they gave me...

No I was after a replacement unit they are going for around thirty pounds, just making sure I am doing the right thing haha

Hello, I have found the problem with my heating not working and it is the heater resistor. I have looked on ebay and they are all around the £30 mark. Has anybody bought one of these from ebay or do you know of a better place? Thanks Sean

Yeah I just had a nose. Will try the arm first if it don't work I will have to bite the bullet and get the mechanism done.

Haha I know I wanna sort it so hopefully it is a easy fix it will defo end up costing me a £100 quid. Thanks for the help though mate appreciate it.

Thanks mate will try that first saves me buying a whole new mechanism.

Yeah same is happening to mine mate tried tightening it up to. Was hoping it was a cheap fix what's the damage mate?

Hi, I am having some trouble with one of my front wiper blades. The arm seems to be going too far and it is even going on to the passenger side pillar. I have removed the blade and even taken it off and put it on the lower setting with no luck. Anybody else have this problem and fix it?

Hello all, I have a problem with my heater, it doesn't seem to be working and when searching for this problem I seen a threat about them breaking due to it not being used often enough? My car has been left for a year and the heaters worked fine to begin with but now they have stopped what...

Sorry mate only just seen this. I got it booked in for a full system in longlife, prospers wanted nearly 500 quid for a full system and didn't fancy paying that. Bought the switch thanks for the offer tho mate. Mot will be done Tuesday gonna tax it and book it in for the cam I am doing...

Yeah although I dont think it will cost too much the most expensive bit will probably be the centre box as its blowing, I thought it was ok for the car being stood still for just over a year.

ops pic didnt work [/URL][/IMG]
