Hi,
New member, i joined when i bought an Almera. Its a N16 1.5 petrol 2001. 66000 miles on the clock. What will not surprise you is i have timing chain problems. Well, im convinced it is after reading the forum for a few hours.
Struggles on idle and now stalls on idle, loss of power under 3500 revs, very jumpy, and sometimes struggles to start. Pulling away in 1st and 2nd gear is a nightmare, its now almost undrivable.
Money is extremely tight at the minute so i am reluctant to take it to a garage for them to charge me the earth and not fix the problem, im a real novice with cars so i feel daft taking it to a garage and telling them what the problem is and how they should fix it.
Is there anyone in the Sheffield / Chesterfield area { i live in Dronfield } that is A. willing to have a look at it, and B. give me a price to fix it. I am willing to help but to be honest apart from passing tools and making tea i am not sure how much i can help.
Thank you in anticipation.
