Recently I have again had fast loss of oil , this replacement engine doing less than 29000 miles . My concerns were raised when I started getting ra...

Re: Violent engine shaking /Stop Start

Paul Yes I have had this happen once on my 1.2 dig-t. Started up as if it was running on 2 cylinders max. Switched off and restarted all ok , but very disturbing as I also have had all the faults that most members have experienced. The latter being the awful squeak from the steering during this cold...

Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss

Hi guys Could not start my car Friday, sounded like it was trying to run on 2 cylinders?, called out the RAC who found I now have a faulty battery which needs to be replaced ( only 18 mths old). Apparently the low voltage startup plays havoc with the electronics , hence the lumpy running . Anyway Sa...

Re: 1.2 DIG-T - Oil loss
