i will let you know how i & kitty get on when its done

So we have 6 members so far keep going guys keep updating the list Paul so we are defo going for the 19th sept yeah i will be able to add a few more to our list Ron

it all depends on the year of the car some have electronic with a sensor some don't they tend to stick a fair bit and the eml keeps coming on and i have been told it will help with accelerator. response normally if will give them a good run it sometimes clears it but its not 100% so im taking the car off the rd at the w/end taking it all off inlet manifold etc and give it all a good clean out and put the blanking plate in reset the the code and see what happens. Paul not an mot fail so ive been told and putting the blanking plate in gives the car more accelerator response (quicker) a bit more get up & gone rather than get up & go so to speak . ron

hi all i have been thinking of blanking the egr off NOW some say its best to take the inlet manifold off and clean/flush it all out after blanking egr would love to know what members think about this. as their is conflicting reports ron

i have a guy in reading berkshire fenn motor works Bennet rd rg2

ok thanks for the info Paul regards Ron

i have power fold + heated mirrors on my 2009 se x type that works on the button inside the car but not on the key fob ??? any clues someone Ron

could be a number of things coro try 1. the metal door rods inside or plastics connections may have come apart or broken 2.relay/s 3.c/ locking motor/s 4. lock's but very unlikely. hope this helps Ron

welcome eddie Ron

you must have some bad joints if you have already oiled them up, try a spray lube that may work i.e wd40 or gt85 is the one i use for my door & boot hinges etc hope it helps Ron & good luck with it
