We could all leave you good reviews with feedback? Chuck the link up and I'll do one 😂

Probably saved a few hundred quid in labour just by investigating it! Hopefully it all goes back together happily, assume the handbrake ratchet will last for the mot?

The ex had a terrible condition corsa C when I first met her. Should have heeded the warning signs and run away there and then...

As long as it can be put into 1st then reverse it'd be all it needs! Could use the saxo for the other end and not even need a turntable

Maybe it's all part of the plan and what's going to happen this year is the juualars are going to pay a visit and weld the entire front end of it to one of the train engines, wire* it up and have it as traction for the railway. Then the seats will become the buffet carriage?

Interesting, cheers! Not sure it's annoying enough to try a new maf yet, but I guess the coming on/off the throttle would reset it enough to work the next time the revs rose up 🤔 And its never happened when cold yet, always when the engine is up to temp (usually when I'm on the m40 wanting to move into l2, but the traffics usually moving at the right speed that no turbo isn't a problem, then it comes back

I don't trust my fuel needle for shit, and doing 50 mile round trips to work I've never dared try 😂 My friend used to run his hyundai i40 to 0 then do another 100ish miles though, many mornings we'd be smashing down lane 3 of the m40 with it showing 0 and been showing that since he picked he up 10 miles back! Guess you've got to do it to trust it...

Pfft, small details 😂

Yes I'm in Thame, work in Marlow though! Where abouts are you? Would happily take a little trip out. It's still quite intermittent though, I've not found a way to fully reproduce it. Just trying to investigate it before whatever is unhappy goes fully

I've had that exact same jack for my entire car owning life! Mine's alot more battered and barely fits under the Xsara but still works! Came as a set my mum bought me, that, the 2 axle stands I still use, a car creeper that's long gone and some wheel chocks

Nope, not done any scanning. Do we have anyone on these pages with the tools? Or are the hooky ebay jobs decent enough nowadays? I remember trying with my 406 and getting nowhere, the list of requirements to get the shit software running on a certain build of xp etc was bad enough and I never got it talking to the car The bottom intercooler pipe has always had the same size looking oil residue around it which I did clean off today, will keep an eye on it but the fault is too intermittent/I don't drive the right way to provoke it for it to be that.

Ah! Maybe, I'm going in blind here! Need to read up on the engine and see what pipes go where, might find a Haynes that covers it and the year. Someone on the fb group agrees with me that it's probably some pipe sucking itself flat somewhere waiting to split though. Was hoping it might be that one, it's not too tricky to access 😂

Whatever, the cable tie that was there was working fine so I simply replaced it with a new one with just a bit less slack built into it's placement Then a good coating of lithium spray grease on the latch Bonnet has never worked so well 😂 Closes with the lightest of drops with a nice quiet thunk from the latch. Pulling the lever inside the car the bonnet now pops up a tiny bit whereas before it didn't and you just got used to sliding your fingers under the gap onto the lever. Sprayed the same grease over all the door check straps and hinges too, although not too much so it gathers grime. Ill call that good enough, got one job done and I think I'll go find some hoses and at least call it preventative maintenance. Anyone know wtf their called? 2.0 hdi 110

I cleaned it off and flushed so much grit out with some small brushes I have (and scrubbed the bit you push to open the bonnet so I don't get filthy fingers topping off screenwash 👌) This revealed a structural cable tie I've no idea what the end of the cable is supposed to look like but I assume part of it is snapped?

Still at nill-nill on the day I remembered another annoyance, the bonnet latch. It's always been mushy and a bit meh to open, but more alarmingly recently it's been a sod to latch shut. As I was working on the above I fired some brake clean at it, and 5minutes later it had shit itself Noting the trim piece covering it only had 2 fixings left and I've got a whole box of those I took it off and found a disgusting lump of shite Bonnet cable looks happy m8
