I had the same problem. After a lot of faffing about, I got a CD disc cleaner kit and cleaned the laser head in the CD changer in the boot with an ear bud and Cd liquid cleaner. Worked a treat and since then I haven't had a problem with the CD changer. It works fine!

I had the same problem last night, except it was the dipped offside that went out. I gave the headlight a 'thump' and the light came back to full illumination again. Checked all connections this morning and couldn't see anything loose.

Hi Trevor Can't argue with that. We have a BP and Esso in town, nearest supermarket is 8 miles away. I found using Esso or BP and a Terraclean made a considerable difference. I will use supermarket fuel only as a last resort. James

My local Esso was selling petrol at 1.06/litre for petrol and 1.11/litre for diesel. I'll just stick with forecourt diesel as I maintain a decent mpg and the engine seems run a lot smoother although I do add a shot of Millers when filling up.

Paul Many thanks for the photo's. It wasn't that obvious where the plunger went till I saw your photo's. The offending article is back in place assisted with some seriously strong glue!! The other one is nowhere to be seen so a trip to a scrappie might be on the cards Once again thank you James

Hi Trevor. yes the boot light does still work. Paul, thanks - look forward to the photos Thanks guys

Opened my boot lid yesterday and found this 'Plunger' in the gutter underneath the boot lid spring. I cannot see where it might have come from as there doesn't appear to be any position on the boot lid that it would fit. I would be grateful if someone could tell what it is and where is should be positioned. Thanks

Problem solved! A new reversing light switch cured the parking aid and reversing lights.

Thanks Peter, I'll give it a go!

Hi My reversing lights and park aid stopped working at the same time. Are they in any way connected? I have checked the fuses and they are ok. A day before this happened I put the car through a car wash which normally doesn't affect the the park aid sensors. I would be grateful for any ideas or advice Thanks James

Trevor I most certainly will! Thank you James

HI My fuel filler cap won't open when the lever under the drivers seat is pulled. I have to stick a key in between the filler cap and the body then pull the lever to open the cap. Is there any easy way round to adjust the operating wire(?) between the lever and the locking mechanism? Thanks for any advice James

Success!! Finally got my cd changer to work. I took the unit out of the car, took the cover off (Managed to find all the little bits and spring that shot off in different directions) Cleaned the head with cd cleaner fluid, put everything back and the unit is now working as it should.

Hi Trevor Tried the tap with a screwdriver on both magazines and no luck. However, I noticed that the lead from the changer unit was probably not plugged in properly. When I plug this lead into the lead coming from the front of the car, it doesn't 'click' in and is quite loose. I will take the unit out tomorrow and try and get the 2 leads to mate with a 'click' Regards James

Just had my 2.0d remapped by Celtic Tuning. The engine was a little on the sickly (!) side before the remapp, but a new EGR valve and a new inter-cooler hose which had a slight split in it has made the world of difference. The car now goes as though it's on steroids... Fantastic
