Just wondering if you got this resolved? What happened?

Just FYI in case someone reads this in the future - - now the car has had plenty of runs and battery is fully charged etc - I no longer seem to get the error code. I suspect/hope it was due to the sitting inactive for some time triggered the error message. It never effected steering or anything...

The normal id of fuel pump failure is if giving it a stern whack underneath the fuel pump gets it going again. They tend to get stuck rather than failing.. and only generally fail if you have been running on low tanks a lot. Also will cause engine to stop running at other times - not just start...

Thanks for thought Micra Paul. However it was a private sale and the fault was flagged up and reflected in price.

Late reply and revival of this. Spotted small puddle near spare wheel whilst blowing tyres. I found a strange ingress of water coming from the top right hand side of the boot/roof. Open boot - top right run off from the roof. Only found it as there was residual brown solid gunk from previous...

Hi Folks, Just changed from a K12 to a K13 tekna dig-s cvt Has not been run much - all good except the start stop has a error and throws up a EML light I have charged up the battery and the the star stop works a couple of times - then get error message start.stop and it no longer turns off...

I inherited some Exodus roof bars with the Halford footpack FP4 and brackets C417. Now I can see they are not a perfect fit and with a bit of jiggery pokery could be persuaded in an emergency. However I was on the Halfrauds site and cannot find anything recommended for the K12. Is this...

I think you should be posting this on the K11 forum as thats your model I think for 1997. Its likely someone has had similar issues so do search the K11 forum and ask as there are some friendly bods about.

I hope its not a bad distributor as thats quite pricey. Might be worth having a look at some threads on that in case it sounds similar. I have a K12 and a cheap ebay code reader - bluetooth to smartphone and it works fine. So dont know why you having issue reading codes. Good luck!

KWKEVY - did you get this resolved? What was the the outcome? This will help others with the same problem. Plus Im curious too? Please let us know - Thanks.

It could be many things I afraid. But a couple of things you can try (other than looking it up on you tube) a) Search on this forum/youtube 1) Get it up to temp and give it a thorough revving 2) Check for any loose vac hoses or leaks. A incense stick on non windy day or hissing noises 3) if it...

Welcome! Sounds like a bargain and you have already fixed one of the common problems. Great little cars - i took a double oven to the dump in mine yesterday.

Local garage did it for me - quoted 450 - negociated £350 - fare enough.

Thanks for your input. The garage quoted me £350 for parts and labour which seems quite reasonable. I do like doing things to the car so not sure if I'm going to have a bash yet - will try to see if the cost and playing with petrol risk is worth it. It looks a doddle on one video on youtube -...
