Was thinking about getting one of these. There seem to be loads of different types. Which one do you have?

6.5l Sealey one from Amazon, does the job perfectly. My oil level was near the bottom of the dipstick and it drained about 6.1l so about what you'd expect. Reasonably quick too, only took 10 minutes tops. Left it running while I was applying wax to the doors and rear

Just walking back from the corner shop now and my heart sank; someone's driven into the front driver's corner of my car. Bumper hanging off, scraped up, driver's side wing crushed in and severely damaged 
and no fecking note 
It's been in the same spot since Friday so no idea when it's happened.
Only saving grace is the newly refurbished alloys haven't been touched, and I managed to find the headlight washer cover that had popped off. Massively pissed off though; this is the third time in 1 year of owning the car that it's been driven into. Starting to think I'm cursed with it

I've got a dashcam; just looked at the footage. Shows a van or a people carrier trying to reverse into the space in front of my car but they've misjudged and come in far too close to my car no shot of the reg plate - footage only starts 10 secs before the hit - they must have driven past, then slowly reversed back. They've then fucked off sharpish.

The AA guys tested it with a new coil pack and it was still throwing the fault. He thinks it was the ECU but we shall see guys.
Synthedup it might be worth contacting ECU testing and see if this is something they can fix for you. It does seem you've been unfortunate, ecu failure doesn't seem that common place on zeds

Failed her MOT today at my local indy
Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i))
Only done 1800 miles since the last MOT & it passed without an advisory then. Guess it just shows how bad the roads are these days :x . Mechanic is currently trying to source a replacement.

Had it done today and great service. They also put it on the diagnostic thing free of charge while they had it, as I told them I had an amber engine warning light that came on briefly for a few hours then off again. Found there was an air leak somewhere in the system that reads the emissions. None the wiser but they said it was nothing to worry about, would not effect the performance they would sort it when I brought it back in September for it's MOTNanu said:

Might help (if you end up needing a replacement)

After a visit to kwik fit to have geometry done a few weeks ago all was great car felt nimble and more controllable was very happy until tonight on the m6 put my foot on brake and :!: omg nothing and car dancing like jemma Collins on ice nearly wiped out but managed to get her back under control. So make it into hard shoulder and find brake fluid pissing out all over tyres and wheel :x took it to garage and on inspection found that the clip which holds the flexi hose had been broken and had chafed causing damage to hose :x the only work done in that area was done by kwik fit whilst adjusting on hunter think they have broken clip and not tried to fix it and left to move around freely (absolute idiots)I feel a heated phone call tomorrow coming car is now of the road till a new flexi pipe arrives from ecp fuming :thumbsdown: that's what happens when you let muppets loose on your zed :x

Halfrauds, Kwikcrap etc etc have no place working on cars other than changing wiper blades....their top level ability....and tyres, as long as they’re steel rims. Complete bunch of idiots with zero skill, knowledge and give a damn attitude...I wouldn’t let the brain dead twats look at my car from a distance let alone touch it Kev. At least you now know not to go near the fuckwits.
