Thanks both of you. Im not sure of the history of the fuel filter, i replaced the ht leads, memory is terrible, cant remember if i replaced the plugs but i did check them a few days ago and gave a clean. Yous have certainly given me a lot to check out so looks like I’ll be a busy boy over the...

I'm certain the drum brakes had been adjusted as there were uneven when braking (advised on m.o.t) then he pumped the break peddle to get it hard again. I'm far from being a mechanic so not sure if that was the correct thing or not, the guy who did it is a former mechanic. I have in past...

Hi, i've also been having problems with the ABS, started with the abs and t/c lights on, replaced both front sensors (replaced drivers side first) but lights were still on so replaced passenger side-lights went out but since then the ABS pump then started to come on with a grinding type noise...

Hi, need some help/advise, i've been getting this same fault code coming up for a few months now (car rarely driven) p0172 bank 1 sensor 1 fuel too rich. I've replaced both the Lambda sensors clearing the code each time but after a day or so it returns again. The engine runs smoothly, no...

Hi again, i have cleaned the hub and the sensors and the rings too, the gap is approx 1-2mm and looking at the rings im almost certain they are straight. I'm just in the past few minutes bought a forscan cable to run from the OBDii plug into a laptop and hopefully this will work and tell me...

:roll: you know what! I was thought about using a feeler gauge just seconds after posting this and also I thought I will remove the sensors and rub the bit the fit into, to get any rust/dirt and see what happens. If this doesn’t resolve then I think it’s time to give up as it’s coming on for a...

Hi again, really sorry to be a pain, i know i'm a complete amateur but I'll have a go at anything. Just thinking back to my first reposonse to this post. Wild E.Coyote advised the following "The sensor to ring gap should be 0,6 mm (0,4 to 0,8 is tolerated, but aim for 0,6 mm). The ABS is...

Thank you very much for that offer but unfortunately im up in Fife, central Scotland.

Hi again, i don't have the technology to use FORscan so i have has a look at the rings and rubbed them down with a wire brush then sandpaper and a microfibre cloth afterwards to get rid of any rust dust and wiped the magnetic strips on both sensors too, while cleaning the ring i was doing this...

Thank you for that suggestion Wild E. Coyote, ive had a look at FORscan and downloaded the app but i think my OBDii reader is too basic, it simply plugs into the OBD socket on the car, nothing else on it unfortunately, so i'll need to check the rings the old fashioned way. thanks anyway, useful...

Thank you very much for that, that would make sense as my father's pal was changing the sensors over for me the first tiem round and he was leavering the sensors off with a screwdriver and im certain was against the ring so likely one or both is very likely bent/buckled. When i changed the...

Hi, I'm new to this site, I have a 1.7 2001 puma. Last year not long after hitting a pot hole i noticed the ABS/Traction Control lights on, on the dash. I has replaced both the front sensors which put the lights out, but then after approx 30 secs of driving the ABS pump would start making a...
