I'll need a bit more information please. Exactly which light is this? Brake light, Tail light, Fog light, Reverse light? When exactly do they stop working? Do they fail as you turn them on or while you are driving? The easiest starting point here is to look at the light fitting itself and the block connector fitting to it. There could be a dirty or damaged wire causing the lights to 'short' out and stop working. As they sometimes work it is probably not a fuse problem. If you know how to use a multimeter you can test for power from the wires. Please comment below with more information and i'll try to help you more.

If this is on a UK vehicle the first place to look is the lower right hand corner of the windscreen, looking from the outside. There should be a copy of it visible just under the glass. Another place to look is down in the step area on the driver's side, (Right side of the vehicle as you drive). Open the door on the right side of the vehicle. On the lower step 'kick' panel, (the area usually hidden by the closed door), there should be a small rectangular plastic cover plate. It should hook out using a small screwdriver to reveal the VIN.

ie, head bolt torque.. chances are they are in the 50-60 ft pound range.

Easiest way to fix this is to have the error code/s read using an OBDII reader.. Dealers can do it, but charge a lot.. see if you can borrow one, or use a local garage to read them cheaply.. Or buy a code reader, they are not too expensive, and cheaper than having the dealer read the codes.. Once you know what the codes are, you will know what is wrong, and also an idea of cost to repair.

Do you always go to the same pump? Some are more sensitive to others. But they are designed to prevent spillage, so will turn off when they sense back pressure. Maybe you could try filling slower. If that doesn't help, it is possible that there is an obstruction or damage to the filler pipe of your car - get your service garage to look at it.

I got this free Pdf manual from reliable-store for free and I don't think Ive visited a mechanic or fixya for help for more than 3-4 times out of the 20 times I fixed the chipper in these 4 years

it will shift down if you are climbing a hill the lower the gear the better it climbs so if it feels the gear is to high it will shift back. It sounds line the lever for the PRNDL display is out of adjustment or bent or possibly being blocked by something

Hi, so you press 2&5, than "on" button, radio starts to play music and beeps every few seconds, now you input number code i.e. 0123 where you jump to second digit because first is 0? and finaly press 5 to memorize code. did i get ir right? My renault does not have stick control near steering wheel. or the way to enable code mode is to turn off the radio - then hold down 2&5 & press the on button - this will bring you into the 0000 code mode.
