According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Disruption to Parts Service

As you may be aware, the consolidation of the old PSA to the Stellantis Group systems has resulted in both a merge of data tools and a requirement to migrate PSA accounts to Stellantis Systems.

This has caused some problems for organisations like ours and the Team are currently looking at the best way forward. This...

Flying Taxis that look like drones....

Well interesting statement

Like several other owners I know on FB my 2010 C5's in built Sat Nav stopped working on Saturday due to the WNRO GPS Rollover issue. It now has no idea where it is or what day, month, year it is, does anyone have any updates on when this is getting fixed? [-o<

CAV injector pump and injectors

by sparksie » 19 Mar 2019, 02:00

First post

Hi all
I've been searching for parts for my BMC 1.5 diesel engine, which has had a long period with river water in the sump and on top of the pistons.
Before I tear it down, to rebuild it, I want to assemble a stash of parts that MAY be required.
The injector pump is a CAV type and one of my colleagues has donated a reconditioned CAV pump and...

Last post

Hi Peter
Poor health stopped play and now I'm way behind on paid work, so no BMCing for me, for a little while.
As to the price of the pump, I am aware they're not cheap, but any time I ever see these engines advertised for sale, they invariably come with a pump and often for less than that pump alone is costing.
That, in conjunction with their...

Friend with a problematic Astra SRi 2005

Hi all,

A friend of mine has an issue with said car (I KNOW it is a Vauxhall, but PSA owns them now, don't they :D). The EML comes on, with one (or more) of the following issues (he will get his code reader on it for the code numbers);

Fuel trim too high,
Fuel trim too low,
Catalyst system efficiency below threshold,

He also has found that, on...

We don’t want to set a precedent here on other vehicles James. Despite being owned by PSA, that it the only relationship they have to anything else PSA.

I suggest you direct your friend to one of the many GM forums around such as

A question, smoking.

by Gibbo2286 » 31 Mar 2019, 09:00

First post

Is the tobacco industry and the TV industry colluding to get around the tobacco advertising ban by depicting smoking scenes in their programming?

I've noticed lately, especially in the crime stories that the lead actor, the ladies in particular, spends every opportunity to 'have a fag' completely irrelevant to the story line.

Last night's French...

Disclaimer this is only a personal view point and in no way will it be 100% factually correct :rofl2:

If i buy a brand new petrol/diesel/hybrid car from a dealership i will be 99% sure of getting a discount on the listed price regardless of spec. I will not bet my house on it ( i do not own it so maybe i could ) but most dealerships do not make...

Got me going this one bobin,
I for one am struggling with electric home bills ,Let alone leaving a car on charge with a massive battery all night..

Umm, you do realise that the cost of the electricity to charge an EV is a lot less than the petrol or diesel to run a petrol or diesel car whose mileage it is replacing ?

To give you an example, I...

faults code lists

by picassodad » 23 Mar 2019, 10:03

First post

I am sure I have come across fault code lists on here but cannot find them, can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Last post

No there aren't fault code lists as such for a very good reason.

You can get generic fault codes from the web easily enough, however these will not always list constructor-specific codes, or have the correct interpretation of them as to how they relate to a specific engine management system. So although the meaning may be similar, the causes and...

Hi Guys.

I'm changing and now considering selling my Xantia (with another almost complete Xantia for spares). Soon I'll be only doing few miles daily so start thinking about something smaller, simpler and cheaper on tax and insurance. I have one big family car, XM under restoration and now thinking about swapping my 110 Xantia for something...

Visa! 17RD ideal, fast, very soft and comfortable, might be a bit old and rust-buckety by now though.

Might be a challenge, only 4 still licensed!!

I'm tired of hiding in the shrubbery with an iron bar for company until the small hours every night! And that concludes the case for the defence, m'lud.
