  1. Could someone assist in transporting my van to a diesel specialist? It is experiencing a power deficiency and emitting black smoke from the exhaust. When I start the van, do you experience a delay of 10 to 20 seconds until it operates normally? Clarify this for them.They inspected the system and reported that the throttle valve is immobilised in the closed position, resulting in choking. He stated that it is an expensive electrical malfunction. He advised disconnecting the throttle valve and remapping it, which I did at a cost of £240 plus labour, totalling £450. However, the vehicle continues to emit smoke and exhibits a delay of approximately two seconds in power reduction upon releasing the accelerator. I cannot afford to incur further expenses when they assured me it was functioning properly. This is the second occurrence; nevertheless, it seemed as though no repairs had been made, as the same issues persisted. He called me and enquired if I had disconnected anything. Refused to drive it home and departed. He stated that he cannot comprehend it; someone must reconnect the valve. Could you please provide advice? Thank you. Will this interfere with the admissions process?
  2. In what position is the indicator or dip stalk located? Ensure it is in the standard position, not protruding forward.
  3. A one-inch deep channel would be desirable.

  5. I appreciate your responses. The tornichoe you referenced closely resemble those I initially attempted.
  6. Has anyone successfully located jack stand cushions compatible with the pinch welds? The items I acquired included a slot around 0.7 inches deep, although they are at least a quarter inch too shallow. Assistance would be valued. Thank you.
  7. A friend installed a Honda Blackbird engine in a Smart Fortwo, and due to the Honda engine's insufficient vacuum for the brakes, he incorporated an electric vacuum pump from a Jaguar. That was effective, and while one might be inclined to believe that the smart can be quickly halted, it is not the case without a servo.
  8. I received a letter regarding the recall and to schedule an appointment. The corrosion of the electronics in the fuel pump within the tank is attributable to the ethanol in the fuel. They intend to reconfigure the computer. I fail to comprehend how reprogramming will mitigate corrosion; nevertheless, it is what it is. In my opinion, it is likely that the system will register a lower fuel level than what is actually present, prompting more frequent refuelling. I currently do not exceed a half tank to ensure safety till the recall is completed.
  9. Did all those alarms occur when traversing the Lincoln Tunnel? Strange.
  10. I encountered several perplexing warning flags on my CX-90, but one I received recently prompted me to contemplate the rationale of the designer or software developer. The vehicle is stationed at the terminus of my driveway. I unfasten my seatbelt as I prepare to switch off the vehicle, and this warning is displayed. What nonsensical warnings have you received?
  11. I have recently acquired a Viofo A229 Plus with a polariser and intend to install it next week.
  12. Thank you for your assistance; I will arrange for the Turbo seals, and I hope that resolves the issue.
