ok so my mate spoke to the guy he got the car from about it and apparently he had a fuel injector replaced and its been like this ever since. how could replacing a fuel injector mean that now he has to turn the key to ignition 2 and wait a few seconds for the pump?

ok so I have checked all the fuses and they are ok. I replaced his interior light bulb and now the light comes on via the switch inside but not when you open the door. This makes me think that the switch in the door is faulty. If the switch didn't work this could explain why the fuel cut of...

Funny you should mention that! the interior light dosent work! I thought I may need a new bulb and payed no more attention to it than that lol It has central locking but does not have remote locking. Another problem is that you can lock the car from the drivers side and it locks all the doors...

This sounds like my problem Is there a chance that this micro switch (if it has one) has packed up and its been re wired. The guy he bought the car from dosent know anything about cars and had his brother in law who works in a garage do the work. I am not nocking the mechanics work, there are...

ill have a look next time i am there. my thought is this though if all the cars i have had seem to actuate the fuel cut off valve when you open the car and with his you have to put it to ignition position 2 before it actuates. would that suggest that it is not wired up correctly. like for...

no, the car doesnt look like its been in any sort of accident. when he bought the car he was told it had been replaced

what could be done about that

A friend of mine has just bought his first car which is a petrol, X reg, ford fiesta. The guy he bought it from said the fuel cut of had been replaced and now you have to turn the key to ignition position 2 and wait 5 seconds before starting the car. If you just try starting it the cut off...

Thank you for explaining it T9 Man. I will get it looked into asap and report back.

Its a 2009 and I have not owned it that long (about 4 months or so) so anything is possible. How does them not releasing properly effect applying the brake. I would have thought that it would effect the releasing of the brake. Sorry, I am just trying to understand

Hello, I have a 2009 Volvo C70 2.0D SE Here is a strange one for you when I got the car the handbrake seemed like it came up a bit far, so I adjusted it via the cable tensioner bolt under the cup holders in the centre console. It now comes up about 3 clicks, sorted you may think. Sometimes...

LOl yes I didnt pick the best time of year to buy it but I have squeezed a few days out of it so far. They do the kit for most convertibles not just the Volvo

Most of my stuff is simple stuff. The car took me about a week to do just doing a bit a night. I had an accident some years ago and it hurts to draw for too long. so most of my stuff is quick things like glass of water and when I was thinking about getting a Volvo S40. Ill leave it at thee...

I really like the XC90. I was tempted. The only issues I have had with my C70 were due to it not being serviced in years. It smoked a bit when i first got it but then all the filters looked like they were caked in chocolate spread \and the oil was so bad that i engine flushed it, changed it...

Coming from a man that draws like you do, thats a great complement :) thanks
