    Found that last nite but thought it was just the sender, I'll try the voltage tonight, should the pump buzzed everytime the ignition is turn on? If there is no voltage is there a relay to check, or could it be an immobiliser problem?

    My car has an intermittent starting issue, just wanting to know how best to test the fuel pump, and also how to change it. I'm guessing the pump is inside the fuel tank, will this need to be removed? Cheers

    Door Alignment/Dropped

    i wouldnt loosen both hinges if your not sure what your doing, doors can be pain to set up! if its dropped you could try loosening the top hinge, you'll need someone to lift the door while you nip one of the bolts up, then try the door again.

    Door Alignment/Dropped

    a good bodyshop technique that usually works, called brute force, get hold of the door on the bottom edge and a few sharp lifts usually does the trick. if you can feel a little bit of slack when lifting the door the hinges are possibly worn
