Car Problems!!

[tyrone girl]

Prob drove a few miles anyway while it was flat - but that tyre is off and the spare is on now.

4 new tyres on my car inside a week (costing me £550 or so, aaagghh) and the pressure light is still showing on the dashboard.  Would it take a wee while for it to go out or should I bring it back to Kwik Fit?

[Cde]

you have to reset the pressure light Rois,  should tell you how to do it in your manual

Driving a 99 Seat arosa, and often when I'm slowing down or coming to a stop the battery light comes up, the engine and the power steering both go, although ona  few occasions it starts up again if I'm still rolling. From what I've looked at on the internet, the problem seems to be the crankshaft sensor which seems quite easy and inexpensive to change. Just want to see if anyones came across a similiar problem and if changing the crankshaft sensor will fix it?

A box of matches (Bo Peep or Swift) should fix it

My focus had similar trouble. Replacing the camshaft positioning sensor fixed it. Start with
the cheap option first.

Had flat tyre yesterday evening - got it changed and since that im feeling like a dull rattling out of the car - like a dull thumping - hard to explain. Thought it was maybe the sound of the boot now being hollow cos no spare wheel or something - i know that sounds stupid. Anyone any ideas? Ta in advance

TG might be worth checking that the wheel nuts are tight.

Ya hit the nail on the head. Thats exactly what my dad said when i came home from work. He checked them and they werent tightened. New tyre on now and going fine now. Stupid question but could the wheel have came off the car if i was doing a decent speed?

TG I think maybe cars aren't for you.

You might be better suited to this vehicle:
