emergency

Is anyone else having trouble with keeping the warning triangle attached to the bootlid? Mine seems to like to spend at least half of its time bouncing around the boot having, yet again, broken free of its chains!

Had to do an emergency stop last night. Been driving for too long and momentarily lost concentration! Fortunately, Brembos brought me to a halt in good time. When I stopped the hazards came on, at least the indicators in the car suggested they did, for a couple of seconds. Anyone else had...

Forgot to put this back in the boot when I sold the car I'd owned from new many years ago. Mint condition - so if you have one of the very first UK gtvs with a manky or missing tool kit, this is treasure! No reserve... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302798715830

Got to the bottom of why my lock does not work, the barrel itself is perfect but the housing is seized solid where it rotates to operate the mechanism on the latch. Anyone got a spare lock housing and the half moon clamp that secures it to the handle they would be willing to sell?

Hey chaps, Weekend going well, I hope. Here's an interesting puzzler to ponder on the bank holiday. :) I'd driven about 35 miles today in pretty warm temperature. Not hard driving, just gentle cruising, not stuck in traffic. Car running fine, engine temp just over 80, where is normally sits...

Hi, I have the same problem as many where the Spiders roof will close to about 95% and then stops. I can then close the roof with the two push buttons beside the drivers seat and a little manual intervention pushing down on the cover. It would be nice to be able to close the roof the whole way...

Hi guys, I would really appreciate advice how to use ‘EMERGENCY SWITCH BUTTONS’ when there are no buttons (it’s another device I don’t know how to operate). Please see the picture I have electric-hydraulic roof(spider 916 year2002) and actually I’m not able to close the roof due to error in...

Hi folks, I'm in a real pickle. Currently on holidays in Spain. I've managed to lock the key in my 159 Sportwagon. I used the "boot only" button on the key fob to get something out of the boot. I think I accidentally left the key in the groove between the car frame & the boot. Then I closed...

Hi there, A few years ago, I came across the CODE light issue, after a flat battery whilst on a training course. Anyway, the guy from the AA was able to start the car using the accelerator pedal method (overriding the immobiliser). I don't have the CODE card for my car, so I have no idea what...

Not something I do often, in fact I don't ever remember calling 999 before (ever), but this morning I felt the need to to call the police while driving so I activated voice control and said "Dial 999". After a short pause the voice from behind the dashboard says "number too short, continue or...

Bella driving normally (2001 V6) when the engine cut out and won't restart. Turns over fine, but doesn't fire. The CODE and EOBD lights do not come at all during the starting sequence. It was the ECU fuse - and it keeps blowing intermittantly. Any help from those who know hugely appreciated.
