Hi chaps, I am stuck in my favourite pub car park (what a quandary!). The car is a QP V 2009 4.2L wet sump. The ignition comes on. The tracker beeps occur but with the next turn of the car key the car does not start. No noise, clicking, nothing. The fuel tank is 1/8 full with the orange...

I haven't driven my QP V 2009 in circa 9 weeks. This morning I tried to start the engine and the engine wouldn't start and there was clicking from the ignition. I assume the lack of use caused a low battery. I plugged up a 10A charger to the battery (which is a top of the range 2y old one) for a...

That title is enough to give anyone reading shivers...let alone the owner! I came home and fired up from cold and allowed my usual 1 min at idle. I have a 4.2L 2009 so the cam variators may be an issue. That said this lasted 3 min. It sounded like something was literally loose in the engine...

When I start my 2009 QP 4.2L (wet sump) if the engine's cold it would sound rough/the car vibrates a lot for 2-3 seconds and then is fine. If the engine has been recently run it does not exhibit this behaviour. I popped in to Joe Macari today and got talking to a very helpful chap there about...
