  1. Just plug and play it really is that simple
  2. Where the cables go onto the box there is a central pivot. remove both cables and see if the pivot has siezed as ive seen loads like this. if it has then get the oil can out and just work the linkage till its free
  3. Basicly thats it in a nutshel/ Just for saftey though use axle stands and disconect the battery
  4. go to live data and post what your fuel pressure is at start up and idle then at 3000rpm please
  5. what size engine is it and the year please
  6. put a replacement anti sink valve on 1st before you buy anything else. if theres fluid leaking past a seal then you would notice the suspension taking ages to bring the car up to the correct height (which you havent mentioned)
  7. use some carb cleaner and spray it into the throttle body with the engine off. wipe dry with a clean rag
  8. wait till u tighten your ball joint up and i think your shaking might go off. if you look at the ball joint you will see that the stud thats turning has the facility for a allen key to be inserted into it to stop it turning the just use a spanner to tighting it up
  9. the trouble that we often see with phones and cars is nearly always a software update. your car is 2012 and is considered fairly new to the likes of us. But if youve recently upgraded your phone to 3 or 4 g then your car needs to be updated aswell as its phone software is 5 years old. the parrot will need to be disconected and lexia used to activate your cars Bluetooth system. I'm no expert on this and could easily be wrong but this is the issues weve come across and it has always been software updates to put it right
  10. check your ride hieght adjusters to make sure one of the link rods hasnt siezed. but Please please make sure you have axle stands under the car or do it over a pit
  11. thats the trick to it paul. also make sure you have nothing plugged into the permenent live like a usb adapter or phone charger
  12. yes youl put the electrics at risk. You need to replace the ride hieght adjuster
  13. remove the front headlining sounds daunting but its very easy. Sun visors , interior light grab handles then plastic trims down the side of windscreen. next pull door rubbers away from top of doors and headlining is out
  14. any lexia or decent scanner can sort this. all you have to do is go to stereo and enter the vin code of the vehicle into the stereo via the obd port and its done. really is a 5 minute job
  15. did u put like for like spheres on. or have u mistakinly added comfort spheres
  16. they are a complete nightmare to change as they form part of the saftey cell. take it to the dealers and let them do it. Seen cars wrote of by insurance companys through this
  17. if the starter motor is just whirring and not actually turning the engine over then this would indicate a fault on the starter solenoid. but a tow should still start the engine. have u got acsess to diagnostic tools. what area area you in
  18. could you put a bit more info in the question please, history and what is happening to the car as its a bit hard to understand what youve put
  19. do the rear indicators work when you use the key fob to lock the doors
  20. im not a big fan of the 1.6 but as rookie says if you look after them they will do the miles. dont go to discount autoparts for the oil as they will give u bog standard 5w30 oil which will kill your turbo. ALWAYS use a low saps oil from the dealers.. Yes u pay £10 a gallon more but its better than £700 for a turbo repair. and NEVER EVER just switch the engine straight of after running. Always wait 10 to 15 seconds for the turbo to spool down a bit before shutting it off
  21. What size engine is it
  22. what happens when u use the hieght adjuster buttons inbetween the front seats
  23. Do they work when using the remote fob; Stupid as it sounds have u checked the bulbs. have you got a towbar fitted
  24. hello and welcome
  25. dont go underneath having a look without axle stands. if the pipe goes the car will come down on top of you
