Used a place in Bicester, and expecting to make the cost of the 'half price MOT' in unnecessary repairs. |

http://store.steampowered.com/app/347990 Assetto Corsa releases it's first set of DLC next week, for £7.33. "This package adds to Assetto Corsa the legendary circuit of Nurburgring-Nordschleife and ten new awesome cars. The circuit has been reproduced for the first time in a PC racing simulation using the Laserscan Technology, that guarantees the maximum level of precision in reproducing each detail of the track. Features the Bridge To Gantry mode, that allows to simulate the real track day rules of Nurburgring. " This might be of interest to someone on here  |

I don't think many hairdressers can afford an Evoque, it's more the car of the clientèle of posh hairdressers. There is a dead posh hairdressers on Douglas prom, walk past there at any point in the day and I guarantee there'll be an Evoque or two parked in the vicinity. The drivers are invariably well-to-do middle-aged women (with fancy hair). Most definitely not a vehicle for a chap. |

A low battery can cause havoc with everything else. Try and start it again when you get it home to see if that could be it. |

With engine off the headlights do not dim after a few seconds and now only warning light is "check engine" it needs coolant though. I have found the Haynes book so will have a read EDIT: I fiddled with the battery leads and filled the coolant up and now all lights are gone. Hurrah. Thank you. |

You can get diagnostics on faults in Fords with digital dashboards. Quote: The Self Diagnostics Mode gives you in-depth information about your engine and the actual numbers in digital. To use it, follow the steps: * Insert Key but do not turn it on * Press and hold the Trip Meter Reset Button * While holding the reset button, Turn ignition until dash lights come on and continue holding the button * Within 10 seconds, the display should change to "test" in LCD font and the needles will do a full sweeping. Release the Button Pressing the button will now cycle through some 17 different modes * 1. Shows a Gauge Sweep * 2. Shows all 8's on the LCD (LCD TEST) * 3. Illuminates all the bulbs on the dash * 4. Displays hexadecimal value for ROM level * 5. Displays the hexadecimal value for EE level * 6. Shows DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) * 7. Digital Speedometer - mph * 8. Digital Speedometer - kph * 9. N/A * 10. Digital tachometer * 11. Fuel volume * 12. Engine coolant temperature * 13. Battery voltage * 14. ABS fail * 15. Electronic brake distribution (EBD) failure * 16. Illumination * 17. Crank Sense So get your DTC, then look it up on the interweb. |

Yeah, a dead battery or a duff alternator will cause all sorts of weird symptoms like that. As I discovered when I was driving an MX5 back from Much Wenlock and suddenly it lit up like a Christmas tree and left me stranded in the middle of a roundabout. |

Dt 412 And Internet says Quote: P0412 - Secondary Air Injection System (AIR) circuit malfunction The PCM attempts to control when air is injected in the exhaust. The DTC indicates a Secondary Air injection system AIR circuit fault. AIR circuit open AIR bypass solenoid fault Damaged PCM AIR circuit short to power Solid state relay fault Damaged AIR pump The AIR circuit is normally held high through the AIR bypass solenoid and SSR when the output driver is off. Therefore, a low AIR circuit indicates a driver is always on and a high circuit indicates an open in the PCM. Which is a start I guess |

Dtcs almost always throw up a lambda code as anything that happens in the engine will upset it as it is downstream. Also the code you quoted seems to claim that your Ka has a smog pump which doesn't sound likely to me. But then I've been away from modern cars awhile. advice: clear the codes so light goes out, drive around until light comes on again and immediately recheck, that way you get the freshest, juiciest codes.

Either an obd2 code reader which are reasonably cheap on eBay (this would help with code reading too) or leave the battery disconnected overnight. |

Bobbyaro wrote: How good is the rift for this? Good and bad. It's fun to use, but the resolution is just too low for it to be a serious option. You can't read the dials properly, you can't see upcoming corners until you are on top of them etc... Once you know a track though, it's a good laugh and I think it will actually make your times a bit faster, it't much easier to "feel" the speeds you can take round the corners. For me it isn't a default thing to use though, as the downsides don't make it worth the faff of wearing it and getting the game to run with it. It isn't a simple in game toggle switch yet. |
