Hi Deane ...I would go with Peter on this and say perhaps ..Plug Leads.??? Frank
-
Its OK no problem I hate the winter as well. ;)
-
Hi Charlie I'm sorry if I have upset you but if you give it out you have to be able to take it ---I also worked long hrs in all weathers Ive also had good times but life didnt treat me too good--- never mind---it seems you a bit grumpy today so I wish you the best ..Keep smiling ... My X type is petrol Its done 123,000 miles .?? Frank
-
It seems we all run bangers except for money man Charlie ?????? New cars break-down so I'm told .??? I don't know because I've never been lucy enough to own one + I think you loose more money the first year of ownership than any of these old bangers put together thats my opinion . Frank
-
Its something you should check out as oil leaking onto a hot exhaust could be the answer ??? Frank
-
Hi Roly welcome and thank you for your advice and warning I think perhaps the club should have a ---NO GO AREA----there must be quite a few dodgy firms out there???? Frank
-
Yes lots of chassis parts are the same but not all so I would advice--- always check that they will fit the X type before you buy .???? Frank
-
Are you sure there's no exhaust leak ??? One way to make a check is to get someone to hold a cloth and block the pipe at the back while ticking over so as to build a preasure in the system-- while you are under the car then you can hear the smallest of leaks.??? Just a thought.??? Frank
-
Welcome Trevor The next thing to ask now is when did it last have a service ie fuel fillter changed Because it sounds as though its starved of fuel ,.????? Frank
-
Hi Mike If you see a light blue X Type flash you you will know who it is ...All the Best... Frank
-
Hi Mike I cant be far from you at...Rushden ...Northants.????? :) Frank
-
Hi Charlie Yes I had one Ive still got it some where it was quite a few years ago now when they came out ?? It was really good and saved my bacon lots of times because it always warned me in time for me to slow down in time ....its out of date now i suppose the new ones are evern better they are well worth the money... I dont need one now as I tend to keep with in the lawful speed I am retired and in no hurry and I don't go far . Frank
-
Hi Brian In my thinking if it was shocks it would be a very uneaven wear and bumpy but with airpressue it would be just the edges smothed off.??? Frank
-
Hi Brian You say that you keep the pressures at 2.2 bar .....But in my manual it tells me that 18inch wheels on a XType should be = Front---- 2.6 bars--=38lbs Rear-----2.4 bars--=35lbs Only a thought . Frank
-
Hi Brian My next thought would be are you carrying any weight in the boot because I still think you should put a little more pressure in the rear tyres ??? I don't think the front would be the same so leave them . If it was just wearing one side of the tread I would say a suspension arm fault but both sides point to tyre pressure.??? Frank
-
If its the outer edge on both tyres my first thought is you are running them with the preasure too low .??? I would up them 3 or 4 lbs. Frank
-
Hi Brian If by saying they are out of shape you mean that they are ovel or not truely round I would say that they are faulty tyres and that the bands that make the tyes up are at fault???? To be honest if it was me I would change them as soon as possible as they could be a danger if you like to speed at all.??? Frank
-
I think I would say its a air leak on the pipe or one of the joints or a split pipe because that could make a funny noise. Frank
-
Still no stickers >????
-
Sorry I should have put this in == http://www.eurocarparts.com/locking-wheel-kits?gclid=CNmyx5fD-sECFQPMtAod-CoAog Frank
-
Hi ..Cliff perhaps you could do the same as a freind of mine he fitted two lock nuts to each wheel they are different so that you need two key nuts to remove the wheel---Just a thought ??? Frank
-
Hi Declan--Its hard to say what the problem is-- but-- if I was you I would check for a air intake pipe could be loose or is split this would give you the problem + did you say you had replaced the plugs .??? Frank
-
I would still check the plugs if I was you because one or two of them could be breaking down under pressure or the gap not what it should be ??? Frank
-
I also took out a premium membership about 4 weeks ago I soon had the Halfords card through the post but no stickers .????? Frank
-
Sorry to hear its the diff but you must beable to pick up a good secondhand one quite cheep well I think thats what I would do ??? Frank
