  1. Welcome along Lou
  2. You could try a good Indy Garage if you have one you trust. Most have the diagnosis equipment these days. If you lived closer I would put my scanner on it to see if anything comes up. Shame I was near Chester a few weeks ago.
  3. Welcome along Richard
  4. Have you tried another bulb? It may look ok.
  5. Initially I would check the battery connections and earthing points. Also the alternator connections. Make sure they are clean and secure. It could be a number of different issues but best to start with the simplest and cheapest.
  6. Welcome and good luck with fixing it up Stefan
  7. Welcome along Sam. Look forward to seeing some piccies

  10. The pads only judder under high speed braking when they have been cooked. It was especially prevalent when braking on a slip road. However I would have a look at what Dave is suggesting first then go for a set of good quality pads.
  11. I have only experienced this where new brake pads were not allowed to bed in properly for a few hundred miles before heavy braking was applied. You tend to find that the pads get cooked and then cause the judder when braking from relatively high speeds. New pads cured mine. If your happy that the pads were reasonable quality and were bedded in properly, it suggests another issue.
  12. Welcome along Stephen.
  13. Rather than the stat it could just be the coolant temp sensor giving a duff reading which is giving the ECU false readings. I'm only guessing at this though.
  14. It only smelled in the cabin on this thing and when sitting in traffic or parking up but not all the time
  15. I had a similar issue with a different make of car. Rocker cover had a slight leak which was dropping onto the exhaust and was burning off. No sign of leak from under the car.
  16. Sounds more like worn valve guides or piston rings. How many miles has it done?
  17. Welcome along Brad
  18. I would get your battery tested first as a failing one throws up all sorts of issues. Has the car been parked outside a lot? Some damp may have got into the electrics somewhere. Sometimes pulling the fuses and connections and re-seating helps to clean off any oxidation on the contacts.
  19. Cant really help without knowing the fault codes. It may be worth you getting one of these so you can check for yourself what is wrong before taking it to the stealer. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/items/?_nkw=c110&_sacat=&_ex_kw=&_mPrRngCbx=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_sop=&_fpos=&_fspt=1&_sadis=&LH_CAds=&clk_rvr_id=894942675904&satitle=c110&rmvSB=true It not only gives the code but provides a description. Also you can use it to clear the codes.
  20. Happy to hear its all good now. Thanks for the update

  23. Could be or an air lock. Could also be a loss of pressure in the system somewhere. All of which stop it circulating properly.
