    I have a Vauxhall Vectra X reg 1.8 SRi
    Recently it started sounding like a diesel engine (ticking noise).
    When driving it is a little bit jumpy, as if something is blocked and then it gets unblocked or some kinda pressure drops and then goes back to normal and then it happens again a few times during the journey.
    The vehicle has brand new spark plugs and recently had an oil change.
    It currently has 98000 miles on the clock.

    Thanks for your answers in advance.

How is the oil level and pressure?, how many miles on engine? is this a loud knock or rather a clatter/ticking noise? knock is engine rod or crankshaft bearings, clatter loud ticking is valve follower noise. how long before it (the noise) goes away?

Why does the engine turn but wont start on a 2001 chrysler voyager

Hi, it's hard to turn the wheel because the power steering only works when the engine is running.
your non start issue could be several things? So start by checking the basics like petrol,plugs,fuses etc....
also did the car stop when you were driving or after over night?.
Is your car petrol,diesel?

Where audi Q7 starter relay location

Alright it gets complicated...
I'm assuming you have a 4L (2005-2015) model.
It will be in the under bonnet (hood) relay panel.

It can be any two of five relays depending on engine and year!
For petrol engine models up to June 2009 it's relays A1 and A2.
For petrol engine models from June 2009 it's relays A5 and A6.
For diesel engine models (3.0 and 4.2) it's relays A5 and A6.
For diesel engine models (6.0 V12) it's relays A2 and A4.

For all fuse and relay information (RHD & LHD) see here:

When i start up my bmw540 from cold it sounds like a diesal than a petrol engine noise decreases as engine gets warmer ps.oil not been changed for sometime

I would make sure engine oil is change AT LEAST every 3,000 miles with filter. Check engine oil level, or you may drop a rod. It should not sound like a diesel.

Fuel Filter

Hi . The fuel filters are fitted (For life if petrol) and every 40,000 miles for diesels . But if needed the petrol ones are under the right hand side rear near the fuel tank and have quick release couplings on them . and the Diesels are in the engine bay either side depending on engine type and confuration .

Audi 2001 a4 1.8t

There are two things to check.
1. It is producing a spark.
2. It is getting petrol through.
To check whether is producing a spark.
Remove one spark plug from engine. Reconnect HT lead and hold it touching car chassis and turn the engine. Do no hold the Ht lead with bare hands while doing this as it carries thousand of volts and will give you nasty shock. Hold it with some insulted material .
When you turn the engine you see spark across the plug electrodes.
As for fuel, trace the fuel pipe coming into the carbureter and disconnect pipe and have someone turn engine .Petrol should gush out showing that the petrol pump is working.
