In modern cars internal parts of an indicator stalks are mostly plastic so forget about repairs. New indicator stalk costs you a fortune. go to ebay and buy a second hand. be very careful if its a DIY job. remove the battery clips to avoid air bag explosion. carefully remove the cover including air bag from the steering. spin the steering to bring it in middle along with your tyres in a straight line. loosen the steering nut and remove airbag wiring plug. unscrew the plastic cover around the stalker. now you'll see stalker with mainly three wiring plugs (it was in my case). unplug it and don't mix it up if possible number it with permanent marker. lose any screw or bolt holding the stalker on its place. remove the old stalker and place the new one. just tight one or two screws and put the steeing on rod and test it by moving the steering left and right side to check the indicator stalks operation (don't connect the battery clips just do it as a cold test because sometimes you'll hear a big clunk noise if stalker tooth is not adjusted in neutral position. take a long beeck type screw driver and push this tooth slightly either up or down (left or right). don't apply too much force as it then don't stays in middle and will go automatically in opposite direction and you have to move it back to get in the middle. If fitted correctly you'll not hear any noise. just test it for left and right indicator. Now the assemble the whole work in reverse order and don't forget to connect your airbag in the last stage. Hope it'll help you in anyway. If you're not willing to do it let it done by a garage. costs you around 60 pounds.

I don't know definitely but I suspect buried in the boot lock is a switch that must be activated to tell the brain the boot is closed. When a certain amount of wear has taken place the boot will close without activating the switch. I encountered this on a Citroen and was able to temporarily overcome the problem by moving the striker outwards.
Works on the rule of 9 eg. If the first valve is down u adjust number 8 if number 4 is down u adjust number 5 etc number 1 is cambelt side and rotate engine clock wise hope this helps
open the bonnet. Look where the Clutch & Brake Oil Pan is. Right under this on Engine there is a black plastic round shaped with fuel pipes for inlet and outlet. Remove the car battery from tray (you need rachet with long beck to open bolt). From this side have a look and you'll find a bolt (need star key screw driver) open this bolt remove inlet and outlet pipes by pressing the button like lockheads on these pipe ends and pulling outside and the power adapter plug below the filter.Pull the filter ( you might be needed to remove turbo air filter case and pipes in case if the filter is stucked with a leg in the engine bracket). Here is your Diesel Filter in your hands. Took me about two hours for replacing the filter.
It sounds like the pump may be faulty. These are not cheap ! Could be a faulty pressure sensor, loose pipe connection or blocked fuel filter. Check the fuel filter is clear of water and dirt. Check there are no visible leaks between the pump and the injectors.
Have you run it low on fuel ? It is possible to get air in the system, and as air is more compressible than diesel, the pump pressure sensor may be showing a low pressure.
