Just to add, could this be tied in with my error on 'Brake sensor' i have, that sits next to brake fluid resevoir??

Do you mean the Lambda Light ? ( Triangle )

I currently own a 440 1.7 turbo. Only being 19, with no NCB and 3 points / insurance claim, the insurance is somewhat to be desired. £374 a month to be exact. Im getting a new job soon which involves a 26 mile commute each way. I need something strong and reliable. A diesel. Preferably no turbo due to that raising insurance even more. Any suggestions? Sticking with volvos of course.

will do , ile let you kno how i get on tomorrow , cheers

Sounds like a seized front caliper . The same thing happened to me on the motorway (going on holiday of all things !) had been driving for about an hour then got stuck at 50 in a contraflow. When the contraflow ended I booted it (to get away from the M3 that had been up my chuff...ahem !) when I hit about 70 the whole car started shaking, through the floor and the steering wheel but there was no pulling to one side or another. I dropped back...

Hi people. My turbo is leaking oil, but I've been told I can have it reconditioned. I need to ask if anybody knows the part number and make for an S60 T5 '02 model. they can get the bits in so my car would only be out of action for one day, but need to know the type etc. as requested. Thanks in anticipation. Paul

A fuel filter would definatley not hurt, should have been done as the first job really as it's a damn sight cheaper than a fuel pump. Let us know how you get on....But defo get a fuel filter on it!!!..

new light on dash " fault in the engine electronic system " , car runs fine even with this on at the mo , handbook says its to do with fuel or ignition system or that it doesnt meet exaust regs , does anyone have any help on this as i cant get the car in till next weekend to be looked at and if their is a chance that i might bugger it up i'm going to have to get another mode of transport .... cheers vinny .

Hi all, ive recentley borrowed the VPCUK code reader and have just plugged it in but cant find reference to the codes that have come up in the instructions or the internet. The codes are P1171 01/02 P1174 02/02 P1550 P 01/01 Anyone help with these please?

somethings out of balance. probably a wheel balance weight fell off, is the shaking through the steering column? front wheel. If not that then probably a driveshaft.
