So what is Shell V-power if it is not Shell regular with more additives?

Hi Guys I am considering using a Fuel Additive from now on. Has anyone out there got any advise about this. Some swear by it, others say it is not worth the money. I don't do any long runs and even thrash the engine so I thought it might be a good idea to help keep the engine cleaner and...

Thanks freddofrog I'll have a look - All the interior lights and radio have gone incidentally.

Hi Guys I was changing the bulb in the passengers vanity mirror and somehow shorted the terminals and blew the fuse. I have had a quick look but can't find the blown fuse. The manual suggests I take all the fuses out and look at them!!!!!! Have looked at the symbols on the covers of the...

Yeh - I realise that Wookie As I say, if the problem starts up again, I might pay you a visit. Thanks

Hi Salim - as I said earlier, thankfully it doesn't seem to be happening now - keep my fingers crossed. I think i'll wait until it re-appears Wookie - not far from you actually. I live in the New Forest. Why do you ask?

Hi F6HAD Sorry for not getting back sooner, I was waiting to see if it happened again and under what circumstances. Weird!!! so far it hasn't done it again. If it does, I will probably get back to you re a visit. Regards

Hi I have started having problems with my VSA light on the dash coming on. It only happens occasionally at which time I stop and turn of the ignition and then when I turn it back on the fault has cleared. It only happens one in a while. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be and...

Hi guys Sorry for not getting back earlier. I decided to get the injector re-cond and it was a good decision. Apparently when I took the solenoid off to enable me to screw the hammer tool into the injector I somehow lost the small ball bearing out of it. The company I had it re-cond by...

Hi guys I'll have a go and report back on Monday. Be nice if that was the problem. Save a lot of further hassle. Have a good weekend or what's left of it. Regards

Hi Wookie I'll give it a go. It was registered late 2005. Let you know

Hi one injector because of blowing past seal. What do you mean by vacuum hoses and multiplies. I have checked everything carefully for just that reason

Hi Wookie I took the return nozzle of the top of each injector and when I cranked the engine Diesel came out. I have pumped the primer several times and it did go hard. The engine makes no attempt to start at all. I thought that these Bosch systems were self priming anyway. If the engine...

Hi Wookie Thanks for getting back. No, it isn't I have never had a problem starting before. Only took the injector out and re-installed it. The only electrical connector I took off was for this Injector. Any other ideas?

Thanks guys for your replies. I did fear the worst having read all the horror stories about Injectors not wanting to move but with the use of a cheapo hammer extractor tool it moved very easily and I have cleaned everything up fitted new washer seal etc. Feeling very pleased with myself I sat...

Hi Guys I am just about to remove one of the injectors on my Accord I-CTDI and seem to have hit a brick wall. The 30mm spanner I bought for the job which is a standard open end flat shaft spanner in way fits in to be able to undo the nut holding the solenoid housing. The actual solenoid...

Thanks F6HAD I take it that I do not have to re-code if I re-fit the injector that came out even though it has been blowing. Regards

Point taken TypeR - won't happen again Do you or anyone else know what Injectors are fitted to the Diesel engine 2003>2006. They look like Bosch but without getting them out I can't be sure. Regards

Hi again Thanks for your help so far. Do you guys know what make the injectors are as I need to buy a removal tool for this. And what removal tool did you use. I have seen several kits available but don't want to get the wrong one. As you know from above I have a blowing injector and I went...

Hi Following on from my earlier thread of a few days ago. Had anyone removed/replaced an injector from the diesel engine at all. If so what make injectors are they and what tool did you use. I have seen several different removal tool kits but don't want to by the wrong one. Any help would...
