Strange door lock problem .... I’ve started to have problems with my manual door locking on the driver’s door and was wondering if anyone else had/fixed this? Problem I’m having is when I go to either unlock or lock my driver’s door using the key, the lock barrel just seems to twist :shock: , I can ...

Hi all, I was given my 1999 2.0 HDI early D9 406 saloon .... doesn’t have many problems now I’ve put new brakes on her for the MOT but as she was an old taxi her millage is a bit high at nearly 280000 :shock: and the service history isn’t the best :roll: . I was reading about how to do a cam belt ch...

omega, have you still got it??

Guess I'll go check the stealers then ... yeah check all wiring with multi meter, it is getting power but just dosen't wanna work. Guessing it's just shot ... Thanks

I've got alot of driving to do soon and I wanted to use my sat nav, but as my cigarette lighter isn't working (Can't even clean it) I'm after a working/good condition standard 406 cigarette lighter.

Many thanks

That sounds like a plan!! I like to learn how to do things .. makes garage costs drop ever so slightly when you can fix it your self!

Cool thanks .. yeah I don't really like messing with brakes either :shock: , but I live 20mile journey from work with little money so I might just have to try. I've fitted brake pads before as they don't need you to bleed the system. Well I think I might take a company up on there "free brake test" ...

Just had my car in for it’s MOT and it’s failed on a few bits one I really don’t understand??!!

The fail sheet says that there’s a 27% Front Brake Imbalance, what’s this?? Mechanic said it’s probably the front brake pads?!

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Yeah it is weird ... put the two sitches together and the new one stuck out just that little bit further and couldn't pull the old one out to match .. weird!!

Just though I would let you know I FOUND THE SWITCH (spending so much time on my head )!!! Went to Europarts, £5 later walked away with one and fitted it and guess what ... I have my brake lights back!! Thank you all so much!!

Well I still can't find that switch ... don't even know what it looks like really hope you guys can help PLEASE!!?? Heres a couple of pics of the area I think ... http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h86/foot_long/photo3.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h86/foot_long/photo2.jpg http://i62.photobuc...

sorry but how would I know which type it is?? It's a TReg if that helps.

I'm really sorry ... I will try that switch thing in a bit.

Hi all,

I’m not very technically minded but my brake lights aren’t working and I’ve got a 15mile journey home. I’ve just changed the bulbs and that hasn’t done anything to help so I was wondering if it would be a fuse or something simple so I can fix it before the drive home?!

Cheers
