Sorry double post!

I have just been outside to start the car and since earlier it has now developed a rapidly flashing immobiliser light when the key turns to slot 2, the manual says this means the key is not programmed, I now have no idea what to do - is there any way to reset this? Thanks

Cheers guys some very knowledgeable people around on here! As for the starter, it is starting up perfectly every time as of 2pm ish when I get home from work, but at 7.30 in the morning it just doesn't want to know. The guy checked the relays between the battery and the starter and said...

Will check the earth in the morning, RAC mechanic said he will pop by at 7am and see if it's started up.. He said it wouldn't be the earth if the dash lights appear consistently.. Is this not the case then? Cheers

It makes no noise whatsoever, but all the lights come up on the dash, RAC just turned up to my house but of course the car is deciding to start every time, he has cleaned the contact points between the battery and the starter but that is about all that can be done, difficult to diagnose it when...

Car in question is a 2002 Mondeo TDDi, I drove it to a petrol station on monday.. Once I'd filled up the car would not turn on again, it did absolutely nothing upon turning the key.. I called the RAC. When the RAC turned up the mechanic asked me to turn the car over whilst he test the...

Thanks fox, would that be the 214bhp model? I can't seem to find anything negative on-line regarding the towing capability of the X5 either, so if you could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful!

Hi all, After an answer regarding the transmission on the BMW X5, can anyone help me identify the point at which the 6 speed automatic transmission was introduced to the car? In terms of performance and economy, is there much difference between the two boxes? My dad is looking for a new...

Hi all, I am doing my final major project currently - and I need a bit of help generating a bit of discussion on a facebook page. Thought this would be an interesting place to call on a number of opinionated people in order to get a few stimulating conversations going. The page is about...

one every 3 and a half minutes so i'm told! horrendous!

Ha yeah I got it away from the pump by pushing it. I have no clue how I managed to put petrol in, combination of a busy mind and an early morning - absolutely outraged with myself at the time but what can you do!

Hi all, foolishly put petrol in a diesel mondeo this morning - 2002 TDDi. I haven't started the car, has anyone had any experience of emptying the fuel? I have been quoted £200 by a few garages but I'm sure there's a simple enough method to doing it myself. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi all, Just started working on a uni graphic design brief for Castrol Oil.. Having a bit of trouble distinguishing the difference between the ranges but I've had a bit of an informed guess and would like someone to confirm if possible? EDGE - Premium Oil, for use mostly in 'premium'...

Looks good, new wheels needed...

I used to work there, they have 2 plants running about 300 cars a day, now I think that has gone down somewhat due to the massive redundancy they made earlier this year, the plant is pretty secluded and runs right next to a dual carriagway/the m4 and late shifts stop at 00.20, so no real issues...

Have watched the whole first season, thought it was absolutely quality as did all of my mates, think they've comissioned a second which can only be good news!

Hi all, My girlfriend bought me a supercar experience for my 21st, you choose a venue and a car, the choices are Lambo Gallardo, Ferrari 360, Aston DB9 or an Audi R8. Think I've made up my mind and really want to have a go in the 360! What a difficult descision to make.. Just curious...

Yeah they are, I have a similar gearing problem in 30 limits. Inheriting a Mondeo TDDi that sits high in 3rd and very low in 4th at 30.. How annoying

Haha yeah I didn't really have a choice, needed to get to work and back and didn't have much cash at the time. Saw it on the side of the road and bit the bullet.. Shocking to drive, seats/pedals/controls were all just like sitting in a little playmobile car. Can't knock the little thing though...
