failure

Has anyone replaced the brake pipes in their entirety? I am considering exactly that after the brakes completely failed again yesterday. The first time 2 years ago I ended up in a ditch. The pipes had rusted as they entered the bias compensator. Replaced everything and that was that, I...

So, took my 159 into the garage today. Diagnosis is that it's a crank bearing that's gone. He says it's a big job, too big for him to want to take on. Anyone had this done before? How much are we talking? I realise it's likely to be an engine out job so that adds a chunk of labour hours right...

So, the Clover failed its emissions test today. Scored a 1.4 when the plate said it required 1.1 Do you think an additive would lower it enough? Also it failed because the system said it should have a DPF, but correct me if I’m wrong, GT’s never had DPF’s fitted in the U.K. It’s a 2009 1.9 GT...

Morning all. I'm having an issue I can't find any info on, I'm hoping you guys can help. I'm getting a motor control system failure message, but nothing is happening; i assume it's related to the crank sensor, but there's no cutting out, no loss of power. Strangely though, the driving data -...

So I’ve had vdc failure warning for a while. I took car in for wheel alignment today. All four were out by a long way which messes with all sorts of stuff including vdc. I didn’t know rears had concentric adjusters either. Guy told me drive it for 10 miles ignition off and on and it should...

Last Friday whilst driving my Veloce, I had the GPF regen symbol illuminate at just under 4k miles, closely followed by check engine light, car was running rough just as a diesel would feel during DPF regeneration. I drove the 10 miles or so home with no issue. Following morning the car wouldn't...

So yesterday was the big day. After being stood for about 18 months my TS went it's MOT. The only "work" done apart from the airbag system was wiper blades, and reconnecting the feed for a relay I added to stop the battery drain issue. The list was, very small actually. Excessive wear on the...

Hi, I have had to manually finish closing my roof on my 2007 Spider, and now the Windows won't close as they normally do when the roof operation finishes. How do I do this manually ?

Just had to flatbed it back home. Power steering failed suddenly while driving with smoke gushing from the back of the engine. Presuming that was its fluid being spat out all over the exhaust etc, but aint had a good look yet, but suppose its either pump or pipes.

My 159 often comes up with a warning message on the display when the lights are on; rear left brake light failure and/or rear left indicator failure. However, when the lights are checked both are working fine. Is it a diagnostic error or something more sinister?
