As we have moved into a new village I thought I would try the garage in the centre of the village who have a goo name, so I booked the car in there and today they did a diagnostic and it was an injector! Didn't expect that. Not too frightening a price to change it including the scan, so they're goin...

Thanks Ian, gives me a vague idea of what to expect. I think y son-in-law knows somebody who charges £25 if he finds ought, nowt if he doesn't, which seems fair.

Martin

And how much will that cost. Ian? I don't know anyone who does that stuff over here. I know a chap who might though. I'll ask him tomorrow. It seems strange that so many different things MIGHT be the cause.

OK, changed the coil pack and the plugs yesterday. Went like the wind into the village and back, then today did about 6 miles, then the beep and back to 3 cylinders. If I could afford it I'd roll it off a cliff somewhere, but have to fix it and the bloody roof which never works unless the son is sta...

Grandad Monkey, thanks. We've been moving house and I haven't used the car. I borrowed my son's big Honda as a van! But, on trying it again, same problem. Yet half of today it ran fine with no light on and half it was back on 3 cylinders! Can't find a col pack for it as yet, but will change plugs. M...

Hi, I am getting the above message in the centre, a ping and an engine symbol lighting up just above and to the right of the speedometer. Sometimes the engine "hunts" a bit and then is fine, but at present it's on 3 cylinders. Sometimes the light doesn't come on at all! I have to go to hos...

How the hell do you get the level right on that stupid shaped bottle on a 2 litre??

Martin

Thanks very much, Col. I signed Martin in the last reply, because that's my name, but I had to join the forum under my wife's name as it wouldn't accept mine!

Cheers,

Capncol, that is so much easier to understand than the book. Thankyou so much and apologies for not replying sooner. We've been getting hardcore delivered and that's rather occupied us this week. I'll keep this for my son to follow. Thanks again. I'll let you know when the lad's done it. BTW, where ...

Thanks, slo, I'll try that. I don't know anything about this stuff!

My son confirms that once he knows what he has to do (as long as it doesn't mean taking the dash out) he'll be round to do it. So that How-To would be VERY welcome!

I wouldn't mind, but I used to be the one who did the drawings. I ran a tech. publications company for 7 years! All pooterised now and I haven't put a pen to paper (card, actually) for years. But come the glorious powercut, brothers and sisters...............

Who does that? The only geezer round here who claims to be a specialist charges so much you may as well give him the car and take the bus!

Chris

Hi all,
a couple of times we've had a message on the dash panel saying "Anti-polution fault".

Can anyone explain what that's all about, please! Nothing happens when we ignore it, BTW!

Cheers,
Chris

That's the one, Slo.
It's a 2 Litre car.
