I serviced mine last year, and my suzuki is now same, problem with winter it find all the weaknesses in the car, If problem goes away once engine is warmed through, best to get a replacement as delaying can destroy the toothed fly wheel if it is the dog wheel or solenoid that is sticking as the...

There is a common problem with the K12 power steering, however this is mainly pre 2006 models. there is a wealth of knowledge on the subject if you type "ps" in the search box and I am sure you will pick up some good advice from these previous answers.:unsure:

If you are not able to wash the car by hand yourself, I would look for a hand car wash, where you are in control when they clean it, rather than a machine cycle that can go wrong, I had a bad experience in a car some years ago and wing mirrors got ripped off so I stay clear of them now and my...

Have a look at the oil filter sometimes there is manufacturing issues with odd batches clogging, for what they cost to replace it's a problem less in narrowing down the issue.;)

I am looking at kenwood and JVC/Sony to replace mine shortly, but my choice will depend on which wiring harness adaptor I can source to couple the unit up easiest.:unsure:

With such low mileage over the years, I would take care to not to overstress the engine at first, and would use a petrol additive to clean out the fuel system and engine/injectors, also a few oil changes close together will help. :) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303924111753

I use a variable speed Andle Grinder with a high speed knotted wire brush wheel fitted to remove any unused or excess filler, you will need a mask and goggles for protection, If it is not causing any problems then put some steel Auto paint to cover over the filler.:unsure:

Try checking all the fuses, and have the ECU inspected, but the main point I will advice is to get a battery solar trickle charger put in the dashboard for periods of inactivity, I made my own but you can get them from Halfords or e-bay I recommend at least 10-15 Watts as there is a 30%...

I would recommend cleaning up gently and drying the area with an Hair dryer before putting some rubberised underseal paint on the effected areas, I have used this for years and helps to dampen down drumming inside the car and stops the water from creeping into the car through the seams...

I hope you have sorted the problem, however it sounds like the stork controls on the steering shaft to me, with it been in storage it may need looking at. :oops:

No problem, we are all here to help keep the little gems on the road.:)

You will need to check ALL the earth straps on the loom that are bolted to the chassis, that is a typical sign.

Check the earth contacts and the the contacts of the bulb holder, swap bulb again as may be defective, I have encounterd this with mass produced bulbs, but hey cheap enough compared to the modern LED powered cars.:unsure:

Without the year of construction is it a guess, however a quick search has brought this part up. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133936006414 I had similar problems with my centre pipe (as rare now as rocking horse manure) 2 weeks of seaching and found some old stock, it appears that the rarer the...

Contact cement (glue) and bicycle inner tube patch, but to be frank with you, it works out more expensive to keep buying different items to temporarily deal with the problem.?

I use new weather strips on my suzuki's and Micra, when they fail better to renew, It may require you to measure the total length and warm the product up prior to fitting.:unsure: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144253596167

The Renault/Nissan 1.5 Diesel unit is very robust and does not require a lot a clutch slip to set off, therefore the chances of a clutch problem at your mileage is slim, I checked mine when rebuilding my engine in summer and it was in great shape for a 60K engine, with regards to condensation...

sounds like fuel supply, look for any fault codes and then check the fuel filter and fuel lines. engine appears to run fine until you require more fuel than is reaching the cylinders to burn. first rule is always check the simple things first before digging further.:unsure:

I had the same problem when car was put on the road, but has diappeared now after a long tour around Spain. I put it down to condensation inside the bell housing, is your dream machine stored in the open at night?:unsure:

I think the U1000 fault code may be the most important, you will need an advanced level scanner to communicate with the system control units by doing a system call to determine which of the sensors are communicating and which ones are not, this will help to determine which sensors are playing up...
