Oh well, here goes:- New clutch fitted, new timing belt/ water pump fitted, new plugs, oil filter etc fitted on Thursday 16th Jan. Returned on Monday 20th Jan running fine. Wednesday 22nd Jan, morning start, a little lumpy for 5-6 seconds then settled down, carried on, 1 mile later engine warning light and stop start fail lit up. Back to garage, running fine, reset diagnostics, checked Delta Forum - see Josboogz entry approx 16 monthes ago. Exactly the same fault shown. Running fine until Friday, 24th Jan, same thing happend but no lumpy running, switch engine off for 2 hours and everything reset itself ( I thought you would need diagnostics kit to do this? anyway.....).
Saturday 25th my stop/start not having worked for about 3 plus years began to work of its own accord! worked 3 times in a 20 minute window, 2 hrs later engine warning light and stop start fail lights lit up again.
TODAY SUNDAY 26TH JAN - 0840AM. Started as usual, NO warning lights lit, lumpy running for 2/3 seconds, settled down to idle around 11/1200rpm. short excursion to 2000rpm then back to idle. RUN FOR APPROX 2/3 MINS - ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND STOP START LIGHTS LIT !!!!!!!!!!!
Any ideas please??????
N.B. Vehicle is back in the garage in FEB for new pads and discs ( due to an argument with that wonderful tyres and brakes company called ..CRAP FIT) and I hope, while it is in this problem can be sorted.
And another thing, why is the tolerance between a new disc and one deemed out of tolerance (ie too thin) so narrow? I had new front discs fitted in January, after approx 6000 miles there now on the worn limit? Already had the arguement with an ATS employee (must have been almost 14 years of age " there all like that these days sir !!) I used to get at least 25,000 miles per set of brake pads and 2 sets fitted before my discs got low, now it seems a set of disc per set of new pads is the norm!!!! Is this correct or are there some new discs out there that start with a bit more material on them?
