Unfortunately when LKQ (Eurocarparts) bought UK arm of VEGA Motoren Holland and renamed it VEGE UK the quality of their engines just disappeared. They are now poor quality made to a budget price and sold very cheaply, their warranty back up reflects that. Once bitten twice shy which is why many...

As above, you need to update the satellite data for Astra 2 28.2E, transponder data has changed at least twice since 2012. As it cannot see the old transponder data it will keep searching but never find them as no transmission so Snipe just assumes it has not found satellite. I have a Snipe...

3.3v, +5v , 0v, -5v and 12v outputs all are DC not AC, no such thing as DC sinewave !!! :D

I have a Sky HD box in mine running from a good quality modified sine wave inverter without any issues for many years. 1. You do not need an expensive pure sine wave inverter to run a sky box, which only takes 30w max. Output voltage must be around 230v otherwise internal ky box PSU with...

Clearly we are both far more qualified than the vehicle presenter who disputes the MOT tester tightening up a clearly loose nut ! It is not the actual nut or what a manufacturer might design or specify that is in question but the unqualified OP's opinion that the MOT tester was out to rip him...

A view from the other side .... All garages and MOT test stations are stocked with highly experienced staff who are qualified experts in their field. Its nice to hear from some unqualified mechanic as to how they think they know best !!!! 1. Tester clearly knew what was wrong and selected...

Not an unusual fault, there have been numerous similar cases with Swift's of that era. Check the wiring for the reverse lamps behind the clusters for damage or short circuits and the wiring loom under the rear next to the axle. It is not uncommon for loom to become damaged. How can that happen...

Have them on my E690, there is a caravan type wheel brace thing in the toolkit for them, which was too small to fit the wheel bolts. Threw me a bit at first as to what it was for until I took a look underneath.

Trick is to use 99999 as the postcode and click the pay by bank transfer or just phone them up and ask for an English speaker. You can join over the phone and pay by card.

A UK TV will work fine on the France terrestrial TV system as long as it has a HD decoder built in. Digital terrestrial TV (DVB) has two systems, DVB- T for SD transmissions and DVB-T2 for HD transmissions. France now only uses DVBT-2 whic is why you need a full HD TV with inbuilt (Freeview HD...

ADAC every time for me no question, no weight limit, no length limit and no vehicle age limit either Had RAC arrival European cover for 4 years until I actually needed to use them .... and they tried to find every excuse possible not to send someone out !!! Blame the AA though for making it...

1997 E690 tag axle down on the sunny south coast :-)

Its in the same section as the previous one, fits direct to the 907 cylinder https://www.obelink.co.uk/party-grill-r.html?category_params=s_company%3D4%26category_id%3D4263

The front section coming unsealed is quite common on a Kon Tiki, mine did that. I have also seen many that have also done the same thing. While I have seen some awful repairs carried out using silicon sealer and self tapping screws it can be repaired quite easily and tidily. You will need a...

Its not enforced and there is no penalty enforcement for not having one either. Do not waste your money buying one in the UK, if you must buy a box in France, they cant give them away let alone sell them ;-)

Quite correct the 8140.x Fiat / Iveco diesel does not have glow plugs merely a fuel fed preheater coil that only works when engine starts to run. First I assume you gave replaced the fuel filter element before going any further and everything else is in order, good compressions etc. The engine...

Reverse lights are not a testable item so no issue there

Where on south coast are you and is it left or right hand hinge you need ? I have a couple of secondhand hinges in the bits box
