Euro car parts are doing a solid clutch conversion for approx £150 inc. of vat.

Afternoon gents, i'm after some advise with a small prob. which happened yesterday. The car started ok (W reg 110 HDI) but was idling slightly high, i was able to take my foot off the pedal in 4th & still travel at 30mph. Aswell as this the engine light is lit up on the dash. Went out this morning a...

Changed the fuel pump in the tank a while ago, couldn't get the locking ring on properly so i just bodged it for a while. However if i put any more than say £30 of diesel in it leaks out the top, so ive just sorted a new one out to keep the job right, but can i hell get this one on either!!! I thoug...

Haven't seen any that are any cheaper than euro car parts (plus i neeed it quick)

But i'm stumped as to why it's just happening in the morning!! Just been out in it, & all is well again

Well, after thinking i had sorted my fuel pump problem last night (see Fuel Pump?) i went to take the car to work this morning only to havee the exact same thing happen as yesterday.

time to bite the bullet & buy a new pump i think.

Well, just dropped my father in law off (20 mile round trip) & it never missed a beat. Even the engine light on the dash has gone out.

I put the lottery on while the going was good!

FlySpeck - Thank you very much mate, that's a better reply than i had hoped for!

Help req!!! On way to work this morning, car cut out, wouldn't start again. Waited a few mins. turned key & heard a grumbling noise coming from the rear. The car started, then conked out half a mile (if that) later. This happened a couple of times before i got back home. I'm guessing that it's the f...

Thanks for the replies lads, massive help & much appreciated.

Had mine in the garage yesterday having the belts, water pump, filters & oil changed. A few other things were found while he was on: Bottom pulley (done), front drop link (ordered), flexi pipe in exhaust (ordered), 2 x CV joints req. to sort EBS prob & a new rear engine mount req. Still looking at C...

Just thought i'd let you chaps know Halfords have a 'special' on at the minute with oil. 5l of Mobi l(TD) semi synth is a tad over £20.
I could be mistaken, but this seems like a good price to me.

I'm 41 & have just bought my first 406 - a gtx 110 estate.

Thanks, is the stuff from euro car parts ok? I've noticed they've got 2 water pumps listed - a Circoli pump for £19:93 & a KWP pump for £27:18. Is there any real difference? Also they don't appear to have the crank pulley listed, where would be the best place for one of these ? Apologies for all the...
