The garage added some fuel cleaner and took the car on a run I presume to get the cat hot. And seem to remember something about fuel trim, but I will check that. Spark plugs were changed about 18 moths ago. As I say had no problems prior to the new exhaust and cat . I will buy a OE cat if it's going to get through the MOT.
Hi all I am in need of some advice please. Last year my local garage put a new (bog standard) exhaust, cat and lambda sensor. The car then failed it's mot at first then passed on 2nd attempt. 1st time in 7 years it failed on emmisionnsAnd now it's failed again on emmisionns. I am at a complete loss on what to do next any advice suggestions appreciated.I added cataclean and gave it a good run prior to the test.
Thanks for the reply
I had tne heater to hot, took the nipple out and poked about with a very thin screw driver which only went in about an inch or so and hit something solid (would that be normal, but no grud.
Hi all
Noticed that the coolant in the expansion tank was rising and bubbling. I've put a new cap on and decided to bleed the system. No air came out the radiator however nothing at all came out of the heater bleed nipple. I haven't lost any water and not over heating and oil seems clean. Any suggestions to what it could be gratefully received.
My 1998 F SRS light is on permnetly so I tried jiggling the under seat wires, The drives seat wires came out of the connector completly and like a fool I reconnected without any thought about which wire goes where (the conectors are not original MG)
When I then tried to start the engine absolutley nothing the keys just turns no clicking of a dead battery or a stuck starter. The lights, alarm, radio and the bloody SMS light are all working fine.
I have checked the fuses under the dash and under the bonnet which are all ok. So is the non starting and SRS wires a coincidence or have crossed the wires and coursed an electrical problem.
