Congratulations, Still a bit of coincidence it just going all of a sudden, but at least it is fixed

Great write up, thanks

Congratulations Jeff

Looks that way. Maybe worth trying to source one from a scrappers if not too expensive, I seem to recall someone getting one for around £40, but you would need to really know the mileage of the car and ideally why it is in the yard in the first place.

I suppose that is the beauty about having two of the same solenoids on the face-lift. Does seem a bit suspicious that it seemed to happen straight after the service, the other thought process would have been if the vac lines had been disconnected for some reason and put back incorrectly or they...

That's excellent news about the C1+ which will be going on a little list ;) Totally agree with the good products sentiment btw

Bob, In relation to symptom two have a look at this thread it may or may not ring some bells with yourself. Jon the OP has kindly reported back to update us all on the current situation. Engine dies when warm

Sounds very promising. My gut on this is that it was a bit of both, I don't think you would have seen such a dramatic improvement if it was just the internal pressure valve in the pump, even though it was quite short lived. Hopefully the BG 244 has done the trick, although I imagine it might...

I agree with the exception of C1 they are easy to apply, and last ages. When I bought from them C1.5 and C3 were not around. so as of yet not tried them. I did a post on the gtechniq stuff I had as not many people had heard of it then, maybe next time your doing your car you could add to it...

I cannot say it is the best but I like AG HD and I prefer to apply it to a wet / rinsed paintwork, it seems to given a more even coat and appears to make it even more durable (but it might be in my mind) There are lots of other great products out there, I've noticed that Gtechniq have now...

That is so true !

Bob, When starting off then the engine is not pulling until after 2k but neither are the revs climbing quickly (as in indicating a possible slipping clutch). Equally I ***ume the engine will not stall, I presume it is like trying to start in Second or third? Have you checked that the IMRC...

In respect of symptom 1. What happens to the engine when you try and start off at lower revs in 1st, does it stall or is there no pulling power ? Does it happen on any other occasions? Do you know whether the clutch has been replaced and if so when ? It is worth getting a code reader, keep...

Jon, Have you any news / update on the issue ?

Sorry to hear the news Fingers crossed this maybe a small silver lining to a very dark day though. What insurance have you got, is there an avenue via the insurance or is that a no no?

Here are a couple of threads the first one relates to the facelift model ( your model) The second is a list of other relevant threads. Hope they help. Fog Lights Facelift Foglight facelift custom search

Welcome back :)

If your wife or yourself told greenflag that the oil warning light had come on, then they shouldn't be trying to start it and especially until the battery goes flat. You definitely need to lodge a complaint and get it on record. Whilst you know the light had already come on, you did as advised...

Fingers crossed for you Paul. Did the Mrs describe how it all happened. I.e during acceleration, was there a bang etc. As you say it will probably be Monday at the earliest before they have had a proper look, just hope that you haven't got a weekend off work this week, as it's probably best...
