[Oil light flashing]

I'm not sure on the sensor but i would get the car scanned to see what faults come up too. There's usually people on the the fb selling pages that can give cars a scan. There's a chap near me who charges £15 and comes to your house and scans the car with his Snap On diagnostics.

I know a bloke with one so I'll give that a whirl, cheers ??

[Oil light flashing]

Basically my oil light has been flashing for about 3 weeks now, usually after about 10 minutes of drive obviously when the car gets warm, I had it serviced about a week ago thinking it might help but nothing, was told it could be a faulty sensor in the sump, anybody know how I can find this sensor and/or had similar problems? Cheers 

[Somebody please help?]

So basically was trying to take my exhaust off and 'just backbox really' failed doing so and gave up, went to leave for work and car when into limp mode and epc light came on, I'm hoping it's due to me pissing around with the exhaust and there's a leak but that's me questing as I have no idea! Anybody shed some light please? 

[Help! Squeaking/whining?!]

Anybody have any experience with tentioners and belts? 

When the cars ticking over there's a whining noise coming from somewhere in the engine bay and gets worse when you add revs! 

I thought it could be belt tensioner? Like **** bearings or something but wanted to be sure before ordering the part! 

If anyone has had any experience  with something for like this and can help I'll be very grateful! 

Cheers ??

Tracking wont change the camber though if it's out unless you mean they will be checking the camber and adjusting that too?

I took it there this morning and they said they would take the struts out and refit them if needed!

I did a new spring and top mount on my mondeo a couple of weeks ago, it was quiet for MOT retest, then was creaking after that for a couple of days and now back to silence. 

Camber would need looking at if the strut was separated from the hub carrier upright knuckle thingy as the adjustment is done on those bolts.. 

It's going to be tracked on Thursday so that should help with the alignment but I've gone over and tried tightening everything again to be sure so hopefully should be grand after that! Cheers for the help bro ??

Are both sides the same? Can you say what you mean by "hear a lot of moving around"? If there's knocking or clunking check that nothing is loose etc. If it's squeaks and creaks then it might settle down.

From the pic it looks like the camber is way out (but that might be just the pic makes it look that way), so did he do up the bottom strut bolts and set the camber at all?

 

I suppose it could be considered creaking, by my knowledge no camber was set at all, just a case of old springs out new ones in?

[Spring problems]

I had some 40mm springs fitted by a friend today and now when I'm driving I hear a lot of moving around it seems, and when I turn my wheel I hear movement. Also wheels look almost as if they're cambered. Picture doesn't do justice.  Is this just because of the new springs needing to bed in or is there more too it?

Any suggestions would be great, thanks in advance.

I'm not sure how high mine was but it was lowered to the floor and it passed MOT's. Not sure if there is a 'too low' height though?

Sweet!! Cheers for the help!

[Help!!]

Not as urgent as it come across sorry, I'm new here and wanted to grab some attention! Thank you for the help, I think I'm just gonna get rid of the springs and spend a little extra money on coils!

[Lupo springs]

I picked up a 1.4 lupo the other day and want to sit it on 60mm lowering springs all round, will it be an mot failure?! 

Cheers
