Morning all, I just thought I'd try and see if anyone has experienced this fault, as I have tried to get it repaired but it's really starting to test me now. My car has random periods where the whole "non-essential" electrics (although I think lights are pretty essential…) rapidly blink on and...

Evening guys and girls, I am having the same problem with my UCH, but due to being not that electronically minded, I may need some help when you were referring to the couplings and the connector. Would you advise getting a replacement UCH and then solder the connector from that onto where the...

Do you know by any chance what that part is called? Do you have to replace the entire gearstick selector?

Hey guys, I'm having a similar problem… I fitted a gear knob to mine, gave it a little force and it sounds as though something has come loose and it's dropped. I can change gear, but there is definitely some contact now where there wasn't before 😞 Needing some help on this pretty...

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll let you know the outcome tomorrow morning when I take a gander :smile:

Wouldn't this just be a relay problem, or something I should look at first?

Morning everyone, I've asked about something similar before, but it's getting silly now. I am experiencing a complete failure of all electrics except anything to do with the engine. My starter motor, ALL lights including brake lights and hazard lights, internal lighting and other electrics such...

Morning all, I've recently had the problem where my ignition barrel ceased completely with the key inside, and unfortunately had to then find one from a donor car. I have therefore had to use the new blade with the existing chip in my old key to get around the immobiliser problem. The thing...

It may be that the shoulder around the ignition is intermittently picking up the signal from the chip. I know this may sound daft, but try tapping the blade point of your key against a hard surface a few times. I had this problem, couldn't work it out, and when I finally gave in and took it to a...

Cheers for the help by the way guys and girls, really appreciate it :)

Also, I got a quote from a company in Basildon off Pound Lane - Bonnet dent and respray, plus rear passenger door dent and respray, spraying the front door and blending the front quarter was £620... anyone care to guide me on price? It is just a 1.2 after all, but want it back to former glory :)

I've heard pf Colour Tone being good actually :) I'll have to look them up. Jane I'll have a look at the old google street maps unless you know the exact area? That would be helpful cheers.

Afternoon guys and girls, I am looking for a bodyshop around Essex, preferably in or near Rayleigh. Looking at repairing and respraying a bonnet, as well as a rear passenger door. Any suggestions of who to talk to on here or if anyone knows of a decent, reasonably priced place, please let me...

Soo... after having it checked out and my UCB checked, as well as the wiring running from it, the problem was apparently the crank sensor loom. That has been replaced, but a week later I'm getting the same problem... I'm guessing back to the garage to complain? :P

Ah bugger, thats a pain :( Am I right in saying that the keys are coded to the UCH too?
