Bought a 2 year old 1.7 ctdi Astra Club last Friday and today it just won't start. Ignition light comes on but will not turnover. It seems to be an electrical fault, or the immobilizer, and will contact the selling garage tomorrow Monday, but has anyone had a similar problem?

I have been told that late model Mk.2's had the 4 round headlights similar to the Mk.3, but I'm not sure. My Mk.2 had square ones.

Also... How much should I think about paying for a fair condition running Mk.2 with MOT.

I was having intermittant starting problems, and had noticed that my volt gauge had dipped down to just below 14v. After loadbank testing, we determined that the alternator was not charging properly. I replaced the alternator, the battery (because the "+" terminal broke), and cleaned the cable ends. The volt gauge is now just above 14v. My Fluke voltmeter shows no-load charging at about 14.3v, but when I turn on all the accessories it falls to 12.8 - 13.5 at idle, and only recovers to 13.8v to 14v when the engine is above 2000 rpm. Any suggestions?

Okay... I have a Mongoose Blackcomb in which I bike to school everyday... On Friday, some jerks sprayed WD-40 on the disk brakes, so now the brakes won't work. Dose anyone know of anything that will take the stuff off quickly without damaging the brakes?

To travel on Virgin Trains, does one need to be of 'that' status?

Oh, and what happens to you if you lie?

This is kind of a survey out of curiosity. I had a 1972 Gremlin in high school 1981-85. My car didn't look all that good but it ran great. Most of the floor boards had holes in them or people had put their foot through them. It was "very" yellow with black stripes down the sides. Bucket seats and a 3 speed. When the fenders rusted through my dad put brown sheet metal on them. When that rusted through he just put grey duct tape over it. Quite a site it was. My sister wrecked the side of it and dad put a brown door on it from another gremlin. It got me where I needed to go. Well, 25 years out of school now and I have another Gremlin. 1970 baby blue with white stripes down the sides. It's a work in progress but hopefully we'll be able to take it to the AMC Nationals in Cordova next year. Well, anyone out there got one??

i have a 2003 hyundai accent. it is automatic with 35k miles. no mechanical problems. however, i noticed today that i got a 'check engine ' message on the dashboard today. there are no noises and the car has all necessary fluids, (oil, coolant, transmission etc).

the car starts and runs fine as usual. any suggestion on why i have the check engine light and how i can turn it off.

i will get a tune up soon (new spark plugs, air filter etc) but i dont think a need for a tune up would give me the check engine lightt.

thanks
