Not too sure if I am firing on all 6 or not, how do I tell? Out all day tomorrow aswel but thats very kind mate. Think it's more of a hesitation, but to be honest I know nothing.

Hi everyone, My car has just started to feel a bit odd, I don't know a massive amount about engines but it seems like it might be miss firing a little, on idle it sits at about 500rpm. When pulling away it almost feels like it wants to stall and holds back a bit. Seems to get a bit better when it is run for a while, also a little smokey but that could be down to a little too much redex as it is White smoke. Has anyone got any ideas what it could be. Many thanks James

As above, can anyone give me the location of rear wiper fuse please? under bonnet or in footwell?(just opted for easy route instead of looking thru posts etc,lol :))

How the frig' they've managed to break this I'll never know I bought a lightweight Odyssey battery for the zed and the guy who posted it did a fantastic job of wrapping it. Double thickness box, bubble wrapped all round, loads of tape and even wrote on both sides for the Parcel Farce' monkeys to take note "This Way UP" (with arrows pointing upwards!) of course it arrives a day late but no problem, but then this evening I start to unwrap it and the first thing that becomes apparent is that it's been dropped and then as soon as I start to unwrap it I find that one of the ****ing terminals has snapped off!!! …

Having seen a few threads over the years by frustrated owners unable to match cambelt timing marks against the backplate, I had an opportunity whilst changing a cambelt this morning to grab a picture of the issue and the cause of the problem, it demonstrates why the cambelt & sprockets timing marks are often at odds with the back plate marks and why the backplate marks are for rough estimate only. The backplate holes have a small but not insignificant amount of movement around the fixing bolt and when tightened to the block can slip left and right if not held in the correct place, the picture shows the centre section where the left and right hand backplates m…

Took some co2 reading tonight. No matter what I did, the left side was always twice the reading of the right! e.g. Left read 3%co2 and the right read 1.5%co2. When switching the sniffer, the change was almost instant and the difference always the same! This may sound daft, but listening to the exhaust note up close, the left side sounded like.. puff puff puff and the right sounded like.. pop pop pop! The difference was very noticeable. Any relationship do you think?? So! my question is.. What would be the key features to check, that would most likely cause this fault?

Ok I've done a search and found as usual conflicting advice/numbers But what sort of power can the standard TT fuel pump handle?

For anyone needing downpipe gaskets (3 hole type) just go to your local motor factors and ask for Ford transit 1991-2000 ones...2 1/2" and the same hole PCD. Only £2.75 each too:cool3:

Who has the Meister R suspension? If so do you have the extended cables for the back and how/where have you located them? Any pictures would be greatly appreciated.

This hasn't become an issue just yet and I'm hoping that the company in question have just made a simple error with regards to colour and are happy to replace without fuss, but I'd be interested to see what colour you class this as.... Here's the colour list (I ordered Yellow/Sunflower) This is what has arrived. I believe this to be (Orange) *the H&S safety sign (bottom) is just there for direct colour comparison Would you agree that the colour that has been delivered is 'Orange' and not 'Yellow'?

Right, I have a little problem... Yesterday I removed the cracked plastic cam cover as it was really brittle and quite frankly...beyond fooked'. The problem is that as I was removing the left hand half (drivers side) a piece about the size of a 50p piece fell away and landed on top of the cam belt (see attached pic). Typically the little fecker' despite my trying to talk him out of it, decided that he was going to jump off (honestly I didn't poke him with a long handled screw driver)! Now it's down there behind that metal bit of cover hiding behind the crank pulley, knowing full well that I can't get to it. I really don't want to be stripping the engin…
