Hi all, For the last two days whilst driving my car I get total electrical failure, when I say total electrical failure it is the same as a car with no battery. I have to hazard lights / interior lights / Doors won't unlock everything is dead. To make things worse it is not picky on what time...

Due to my wifes rather damaged leg, I would be interested in learning this measurement. I have measured it on our car by placing a straight edge across the drivers seat and measuring from this to the ground. It will take a bit of time, but there is not a car handy to us.

Is there any technical (not environmental....) issue arising when I remove all the tubing from the PCV-hosing etc. and seal off all vacuum openings apart from the opening in the valve cover where I want to place a small airfilter? It should solve a lot of problems I think. This is not just a...

Having finally got my 3.0 TiD back after the garage I bought it from fitted a new waterpump (following the car freezing up over the Winter) I now have another MAJOR issue on my hands :( Accelerating past some slower traffic on a dual carriagway I was alamed to hear a sudden, loud 'clonk'...

Driving my 93 Aereo Convertible last night, I braked quite sharp (not enough to activate ABS) and the car 'died' Engine and lights cut out, as if ignition switched off. Is this a 'safety' feature to cut fuel prior to impact, or did the car stall? I did not have to brake to a complete stop...

My local Shell garage has changed franchise this last week - now Total - called in today as was low on fuel and noticed their Super is 98 RON - Is this the equivalent of Optimax and has anyone tried it and any views? Thanks Mike

Hi there, Just wondered if anyone knows if there is total closure feature which can be added to the factory fitted alarm, allowing the windows to be closed via the key fob, when arming the alarm. By the way the car is a 93 aero MY2000 Thanks in advance for any advice

Is it possible, using Tech2, to programme the fob, or the door lock to close the electric windows when locking the car?

OMG... a decent review of a Saab from Drivel.. Guess I can turn over and watch something else now Steve

Speedpart stage 3 parts fitted tonight and WOW! On the adaptation run I was very impressed by the new found power. The JT 3” exhaust makes an enormous difference to the car. Not only is the top end much, much more lively but lag has all but disappeared and boost comes in much earlier. This...
