Hi Put up a picture of the engine, a bird's eye view.

Hi Change the fuel filter.

Hi No the 1.8 does not have this. Most grateful to you. I have learnt something.

Hi TRy ten seconds first.

Hi What were the sensor wires connected to.

Hi Thanks for the pics. I was hoping to mark the photos but dont know yet how to do it. Using jump leads connect the POsitive from the battery to the stud that has the thick wire . Negative to the metal body with the big hole. Then get a thin wire about 2 feet long. Fix a spade connector to one end. Bare the other end about 2mm. Push the spade connector onto the terminal in the square looking socket on what you call the relay. Right. Now make sure the engine is stable and the belts are clear of any spanners. Then touch the bare end of the thin wire to the battery positive. Only do it for a second or two because too much current can damage the coils in the starter. What you call the relay is called a solenoid.

Hi I thought the MOT tester was only interested in the depth of the tread and the general condition of the tytre.

Hi Put up a recording of the noise.

Hi Which cylinder, master or slave.

Hi Put up a picture of your starter.

Hi Hope you are taking some pictures for us.

hi Well done. Look forward to the pictures.

Hi Glad to hear that. I just want to know if it is possible to whip the lead out and push it on without the special tool.

Hi I thought the valve detects a high pressure.

Hi Put up a picture, a birds eye view of the more to the right side of the engine. Turn the engine on and as the water warms up massage the water hoses.

Hi The special tool is to make sure you get the HT lead out without damaging it.

Hi The chains are not on the side of the throttle. Any chance of recording of the noise.

Hi You are getting low on gearbox oil.

Hi Check in the cavity inside the block thru the starter hole that the old bush is not still inside.

Hi Thanks for the photo. In some cases the black cap led to overheating. The blue one cured it. I would clean the maf sensor with a gentle carb cleaner or maplins switch cleaner. Check the vacuum pipes and consider whipping out the ISV and cleaning it out with carb cleaner/petrol.

Hi Put up a picture of the engine, a birds eye view.

Hi When they worked on your car, they could have introduced an air lock.

Hi You are turning the ignition ON arent you .

Hi I reckon there is still a fuse that you have not seen. It could be an inline fuse on the power cable. Put up a picture of the non-speakers ISO connector making sure the colors of the cables are visible.

Hi Where was the thermo switch ? Why was it changed ?
