i have an auto and i love it to bits after driving mostly manuals since i passed my test but i have had more problems with auto boxes than manual. but i have been told the clutch wears quicker on a manual than an auto thats a tough call

« on: 11 December 2010, 12:25:14 »
ok so an update again...... i started her up this morning and she was fine drove down the road wouldnt go anywhere lack of power missfiring again shuddering but no knocking so i got her home and started poking about. what i found was the one or two clips on the injector rail was broken which allowed the injection to come loose :S so i pushed them back down and started her up and the gearbox light went off and shes running like normal again. but the weird thing is shouldnt it be the engine managment light that comes on?

hi guys just updating the oil level the level didnt seem too bad so i topped her up now shes running ok but the light still tends to come on now and then but she still drives fine gearbox sounds good. topping her up hasnt made much difference to the drive but has deffinitley solved the noises. i think the next step is to have the faults cleared and read.
