Had something like this before. Exhaust blocked. Unbolt at manifold and try. It'll be noisy. Lol

Both sensors share the heater circuit which are wired in parallel so fault shows on one or the other or both. Had exactly the same on father-in-laws. Changed the front sensor and cleared fault but light came back on and fault code showed front sensor again?? Anyway found a thread on here about...

Had a similar fault on 1.4 micra. Tested everything I could myself. Fault code nonsensical? Saw a post on here that said when Nissan dealer gets same problem they change both oxygen sensors together as heaters are wired in parallel so fault code points to one fault where it is actually in the...

Hi. Just a thought....I know on some cars it is possible to get the shoes mixed up . Did you fit the leading edge the correct way for the side of vehicle.? When you look at shoes fitted to back plate the linings on each of the shoes should look like they're being pushed off in the direction of...

What colour were the spark plug electrodes when you took them out. I had same thing with a punto years ago and it was head gasket just starting to leak tiny amount into cylinder. Sometimes it shows in exhaust gas when plugged up tp gas analyser. Took punto to tyre place that did mots and guy...

check there are no broken wires in the harness where it goes through convoluted rubber tube/grommet. Relay needs signal back from motor internal switches to trigger wipe cycle. Had this fault on other cars before.

P.S. one of your spark plugs will also have a different colour tip if it's getting the tiniest amount of water in the cylinder. My m8 had exactly same thing with his punto so I had head skimmed and fitted new gasket. Spot on.

Ey up. You mentioned having to top up water. Is oil clean ? Do you have slight misfire or hesitation now and again? If you do have slight misfire it points to water being drawn into combustion chamber which again is probably head gasket sealing rings corroded. Get to a little independent tyre...

Sometimes it's more age than mileage mate. The metal rings around the cylinders and bolt holes, oil /water galleries etc in the head gasket corrode away and aluminium head with steel bolts just need a bit of coolant around them to make a nice battery which causes all sorts. Triumphs used to have...

Head gasket on the way out mate or slight crack in head. White stuff is emulsified oil. Oil that has been whipped into the water then when it stands for a while the scum comes to the top of expansion bottle until next time it gets agitated by the water pump again.

Does the switch on the passenger door work? If it does it might be the wiring that passes through the gaiter between the drivers door and the pillar. They have a habit of breaking because of the constant use of the drivers door. I've repaired several makes of car with this problem before. Hope...

Check the earth cable between the engine and body/chassis .Had same problem few years back with volvo. Bolt that went through earth strap at engine had corrosion build up inside thread so poor connection. Get a volt meter and check voltage across battery then keep meter lead on battery...

Check the earth to the relay box. Might be picking up in-series earth from another circuit then losing it when circuit goes positive. Come across loads of faults like that before. Another thing to check is someone hasn't swapped wrong relay out. Hope you get sorted.

Hi I think I read somewhere about needing to re-sync the central locking and keys after battery disconnection on some models causes this . Might be worth trying to find info online about this. Good luck?

Have you checked the steering column shaft universal joints aren't seizing up. Had this a few times on different makes and models over the years especially ones that are under the bonnet and exposed to the elements. They tend to stiffen up around the straight ahead point because that's where...

Check the earth to the back light clusters. If there is a bad earth to one of them the brake light could be sending an in series positive through to the reverse light circuit.

Thanks. My 89 year old father in law took his battery off today but does not have the code so I am really grateful for your help. Cheers.
