Improved feature for unsubscribing from email notifications

First post

As part of the work being done to improve the deliverability of emails, I have made some changes to the system for unsubscribing from email notifications.

These changes are to ensure stricter compliance with RFC2369 and RFC8058 (which are the internet standards for such things), there are also some additions for Microsoft-specific rules which are...

First post

We cannot currently deliver notification or registration emails to users with @outlook.com an @hotmail.com email addresses.

This is due to Microsoft having designated our server as being a junk mail source, apparently because some users have been moving our notification emails to their 'junk' folders.

There appears to be nothing that we can do...

Finally, after a month of sending repeated support requests to Microsoft, and spending quite a bit of time researching and rewriting some of the forum software to be more RFC compliant, we have been advised that Microsoft are no longer blocking our emails.

C5 rear parking sensors

I had device on the rear side window of my C5 estate that I think was some kind of mobile phone aerial. This fell off the glass in the heat and the dog ate through the cable and now the rear parking sensors aren't working. Anyone know where they are fed from and if anything else is on the circuit as I suspect the fuse has blown.

The sensor in the second pic is the boost pressure sensor. the little pipe is very easily broken if you are not careful when changing the air filter. If there was anything wrong with it though lexia would definitely show a fault relating to it.

If you can what is the procedure please?

Help me if you can (xsara 1.4lx y reg).

Desertfox, you can try and leave the battery disconnected for about half an hour. If it is an intermitent fault, it may switch the light off, otherwise your only route is Lexia. Only do this if you know your radio code, otherwise it may be a visit to a main dealer to get the code and they sometimes charge for this. :eek1:

The thread has been stripped on one of the mounting holes for my lower cambelt cover on my ZX 1.9D. I've got some CarGo QuikSteel which is a two part (epoxy?) repair putty. The instructions say something like fill the hole, leave to dry, drill a new hole, tap the hole . Unfortunately, I haven't got any taps. I was hoping to just coat the bolt...

Thanks for the tip. I've got some carburettor cleaner somewhere.

Hi,

I have 1 other problem with my new car. That is the cd multichanger system.

Does anyone know how long is the maximum amount of time you should give these systems to reset?

The previous owner put new battery on mine in Jan and the stereo system hasn't worked since.

I have spoken to citroen, I have the code. Citroen say I have to leave the...

Last post

Have fixed the problem now. You have to leave key in ignition position 1 and then push bnd, then leave like that for over an hour, then it will say code in, u can then unlock system with code.

Thanks for help,

It IS possible to dismantle the sealed unit further - I did it when I was messing around trying to get the display button on the end of the wiper stalk working properly. But I was on tenterhooks all the time it was apart and I really wouldn't recommend it.

Xantia V6 feeling the heat?

Drove down to Burgundy a few days ago. Through France the temperature was 30 to 37 degrees. The car ran perfectly for hours on the Autoroute at 135 kph on the cruise control, with just a 10 minute break every couple of hours. Water temperature around 100 and oil temperature pushing 120 at times (a full load of luggage and 100kg of oak boards on...

I think the autobox ecu can control the engines ecu, maybe the gearbox oil was a bit hot and it told it to hold off for a bit.

Anti sink sphere

by davewithington » 07 Jul 2010, 10:50

First post

Just been having a look at the rock hard ride on Mike from Stoke's '97 non-hydractive 1.9TD.

The ride was really hard - like riding with the suspension in high, but the rear spheres felt OK, and the previous owner replaced them a couple of years ago. Changed the fronts, there is some improvement, but not perfect.

Mike doesn't really want to buy...

Last post

I suppose that they didn't supply hydractive spheres in error? I can't really see that it could be anything other than the spheres, assuming that the ride height is correct. How many miles has it done in those couple of years?

Automatic Headlights

First post

I have recently noticed that my headlights are on more than they should.
Even in bright sunshine, i have noticed that they are on for long periods of time. The sensor seems clean.

Any ideas??

Last post

Mine were on amost continually until I noticed a few weeks ago that the sensor was displaced.
Removed and refitted it thinking it might be the rain sensor and the auto window-close might work now but it was the light sensor and the lights don't come on much at all now before the street lights come on, EXCEPT when going round certain roundabouts...
