question

After replacing the glow plugs on my OM606, recently on start up the following has been happening - ABS warning light on, Rev counter stuck on 0, and idle too weak to move the car when in gear. This is intermittent but becoming permanent. It either all happens together or no faults at all...

Had my glow plugs replaced this week for the 1st time in 10 years and 87k. Curious as to why the two remaining good ones (Resistance <1 Ohm) are still look bright and almost as new, where as the dead ones are quite heavily corroded. Is this normal or indicative of some other fault lurking ?

Hi all. When I purchased my W204 coupe there was damage to one of the interior parts and it's been bugging me ever since. Not to sure what the part is called but it's in the middle of the rear seats. Its the rubbery plastic part that surrounds the cup holders between the rear seats. I was just...

Ok, so a cat delete is cutting out the cats which I believe are located at the front of the pipes like on most cars. What's a res delete? What's a res and what does it do? I'm thinking of both the above and maintaining my standard rear box. That and a remap. I know about the MOt issue...

Just turned on a twin tube fluorescent light. Brief flash then nothing. Other lights on same circuit are ok. As it is twin tube, unlikely to be both tubes at once? Fitting is about 4 years old. It is a decorative fitting & will be a PITA to strip down. I also don't have my testing gear at...

My lad and I are going to Wales Rally GB on a day ticket for the Saturday. A simple question - will I be ok in my car, or should I take the wife's Focus? He seems to think there will be driving on mud tracks/poor roads between stages - I'm hoping there will normal roads and places to park...
