    Indicator troubles

    I've been having problems with my right rear indicator for while now and have had to change it probably 4 times over the past few months, also every now and again the indicators will get stuck and not flash but can be fixed by clicking the hazards on then off and they seem to operate normally...

    PCV Hose

    So I had excessive oil in my intake pipe and I checked the PCV hose by idling the car and testing the vacuum on the intake end and it was only very weak. Does this indicate a block or that its not working correctly? and if so is it just the hose that needs to be replaced or is there more to it...

    Car starting issues

    Ive had troubles getting mine to start first go as well sometimes but im pretty sure mine was the metal ball on my key. Have a look to see if the red lock is flashing when you try to start it if it is then it is probably an immobilizer issue.

    Car died

    Update: I did an oil change last weekend as well, and have read that the 'service vehicle soon' message is usually the oil pressure sensor, would this cause the car to shut off and not be able to turn back on?

    Car died

    So today when I was reverse parking my car the engine decided to shut off, it didn't starve or choke just went dead.

    Instrument Cluster

    Another odd thing I noticed is that light that says you have your seat belt off goes off after a few seconds even if you put the seat belt on. I've definitely learnt my lesson not to buy a car from a dealer with no warranty or books. :(

    Instrument Cluster

    So I have a VZ Thunder S and I have a concern about the kilometers of my car, when I purchased the car it had a Calais front bar, Calais wheels and what I believe to be a Calais cluster as well.

    Radiator leak?

    So I've just noticed some coolant on the side of my radiator, this hasn't always been there and has only appeared recently as I changed the coolant no long ago. Does this indicate my radiator is on its way out and needs to be replaced?
