fault

I have a 2009 Ford Focus. If I don't keep it full with diesel it won't start. Could it be the pump in the tank or one of the injectors?

Hi guys, I have a 2005 Opel Astra. The central locking is acting up. I have replaced the keys in the fob and checked the fuses. All appears ok in that regard. It works intermittently. Might lock and unlock once or twice and then just stop working again. However, when inside the car and you have the button to engage the central locking for safety reasons, this method does manage to engage all the locks and works fine.

Furthermore using the pedal/accelerator test generated a 1614 code, which relates to the keys and I am assuming a mismatch between the codes the car is looking for and what the keys are transmitting. Is it a simple case of the fobs requiring reprogramming (I have tried the key in the ignition the "lights on" but not engine start, in order to synchronise them again, but nothing) or something that might require further investigation.

Many thanks for your feedback if you get a chance.

Thanks

My 2004 Skoda Octavia petrol engine died and would not restart. It has a good battery. Any ideas?

Dodgy diesel was put into a 1.2 SEAT Ibiza, which stopped on the road. The car was towed to a garage where the diesel tank was cleaned out, but the car would not start so next step is to get a pump. Would it be a bad idea to get a second hand pump instead of a new one and in your opinion should this solve the problem?

I have a 2006 Nissan Almera 1.5 petrol. Today the engine light came on and I lost power. It has struggled to start since. What do I do?

My 1.8 TDCi Ford Focus smells of burning oil...

Have a "thumping" noise in a 2011 reg Nissan Qashqai. Dealer can't find cause or solution through electronic assessment. Any idea of cause/solution?

My 2005 Skoda Octavia 1.4 petrol shows the engine light on permanently - the car runs fine. What could the problem be?

The check coolant alarm in my Skoda Roomster is coming on almost every time I start my car - ever since I got it serviced and had the timing belt and water pump replaced. The coolant tank is full, even when I check it from stone cold. What would this be caused by?

I have a 2007 Toyota Yaris. I thought a coil was gone but it's not a coil or spark plugs and it's losing power; what could it be?
