Indicators gone fookin nuts

Never had problems with my indicators then when I went to take the car out the other day (it had been damp) they were acting up a lot. So instead of down=left, middle=off, up=right I had down=nothing, middle=left, right=left.. It did make me chuckle at first at how ridiculous it was but now it’s jus...

Re: Oil change

Amazing cheers for all the responses! Haven't got around to doing it yet but shall begin collecting everything I need. I don't have axle stands either, despite what some people said I think I'll go for jacking it up.. so do I need a jack and axle stands to be safe rather than just a jack? I re-read ...

Re: Oil change

The oil must have been changed about 4/5000 miles ago when my dad took it to a garage but I have no clue what type of oil was put in and it’s not been topped up ever s...

WANTED URGENTLY: Drivers side headlamps complete unit with lamps and baseplate

I have my MOT in a couple of days and previous plans to find the part fell through so I am now left in a bit of a rush. Please get back to me ASAP if you have this part spare and are willing to sell. I live in Glasgow so would be amazing if local, however if not it could be posted.

Thanks!
Will

Security systems

Some bastard broke into my car last night and tried to nick it. Thankfully it's been running crap recently so I reckon they tried to start it and it just stalled. Luckily minimal damage other than broken window and locks but the Capri Club Scotland guys are very kindly helping me out. It got me thin...

Not running smoothly

My car has started doing this thing where it idles very low sometimes and jumps around quite a lot, often stalling when I come to a stop. Occasionally I will start it and it idles as normal for a minute or so and then starts to drop. I did manage to do the valve clearances recently which made a noti...
