• Volkswagen Golf II (1983 - 1992) - clutch cable adjustment 19 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  I changed the clutch cable on my Golf Mk2 a few months back and thought that would do the job, but I am finding that the clutch is automatically adjusting itself - only it is not meant to as it's supposed to be a manual adjustment. It is adjusted by turning a nut along a bolt to tighten or slacken

  Neighbour is buying a new Mazda CX7 and has for sale his 4 yr old Mazda 6 Sport4 - AWD 2.3 automatic estate car with 20K mls. They are almost as rare as hen's teeth - does any BR have one / had experience of in the past. If you have the TS2 model this must be similar apart from the 4WD - what

I removed the large diameter intake, just behind butterfly (crosses over top of engine coming from some sort of cooling/heating radiator) removing half circular spring clip first, fine oil is present inside tube.

• Aircon efficiency over time 13 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  I have a MK V Golf with 'climatic' semi-automatic Aircon and at this time of the year, often become paranoid as to whether it is working at its most efficient. I have read that one can expect the system to lose gas at up to at least 10% per annum which means that after 2.5 years use, mine could
• Advice on what to go for? 30 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  The scenario is:- My Father, due to a medical matter, is having to change from a manual to an automatic. He currently drives an X-Type diesel which he is very, very happy with, budget is about 7-8k. Due to now limited mobility the mileage he will be doing is low, but he does not want to buy a 2nd
• New Jag two door model due? 7 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  I haven't read of any new Jag two door model due in the new future, the XK having made its bow, but out this morning on the Fosse Way near Halford I'm sure I saw a disguised Jag belting along the other way. Automatic gearbox and distinctive V8 working overtime, strong winter sunlight picked out

• Peugeot 406 auxillary belt tensioner 14 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  automatic tensioner pulley - the bearings are shot. I can actually see the pully jumping about as it ticks over and chatters. They Heynes manual does not show how to change this. I loosened the bolt that I think is holding it to the block. Although the pulley assembly can now be moved away from the block
• Mondeo 2003 instrument cluster bulb 28 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Dear all, Three of the instrument cluster bulbs have blown on my 2003 (53-reg) Mondeo in the last month. Two comes back to life after a hit to the dashboard and one wouldn't - I think it is just time to change all of them. I guess the automatic lights switching the bulbs on and off many times
• Any auto trans bods in the house? 22 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  Hi all, I'm planning a bit of an odd ball project and need your thoughts on a potential transmission problem. To outline the project, I have a 2.2 litre front wheel drive Renault Espace automatic, to which I am planning to mid mount a 4 litre Jag engine and auto box, driving a rear axle. (That's
• Best 4x4 to buy 7 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  and the shopping in but I don't know if there is any thing bigger? I'll be using it every day for taking the kids to school and shopping but we use my husband's car at weekends. It has to be automatic and have air conditioning and a hook for my hand bag. Economy doesn't matter as I don't do many miles, but it has
• Celica cabriolet 4wheel steer - Spares ? 6 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  they are worth and I should pay the extra for a later shape car that don't appear to be fitted with this 4 wheel steer. Again most of the later shape cabrios seem to be Jap imports - are they much different to UK spec cars and what is the spares situation like ? I almost certainly want an automatic car BTW
• Hyundai diesel engine query 1 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  The tread on the smoking A4 TDi got me thinking. Our Trajet is the diesel automatic. When starting from cold, espcially in cold weather, the car pumps out a lots of white smoke, which eventually disappears as the car warms up. Is this simply condensation? It is also quite sluggish for the first
• Hybrids update 13 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  announced that it plans to offer hybrid options throughout its range. Presumably that would render the Prius redundant. Recently I overheard a Toyota Prius owner in a car park telling an interested passer by that it did 60 mpg. I think hybrids will initially replace automatics, since they do the same
• FWD & Caravan & Mud - How to get grip. 20 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  Yes, I know, brave indeed to mention the "caravan" word on this website, but I need some help. I have a fwd car automatic car. It's usually okay when it gets a bit slippery as it has a winter mode which locks the car in to a higher gear when it gets slippery. However I'm going to start towing
• Pierburg 2E3 carb stalling 22 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  I have an old 1300 golf mk 2 (170 k miles) with a Pierburg 2E3 carb. It has always been excellent but now has an annoying problem. It starts fine and runs well on the automatic choke for about 3 to 5 minutes. Then when you stop at lights you hear the engine speed drop and it tends to stall
• Slow Diesel in the Morning 2 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  I have run two turbo-diesel automatics; a Peugeot 605DT (since deceased) and a new Hyundai Trajet CRDT (brand new this Sept - only 2,300miles so far). With both of theme, they were very sluggish in the morning, m until they were warmed through. To get out of the house I really have to put my foot
• Diesels; Saab -v- Audi 21 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  I've had a cursory look at both the Saab 9-3 and Audi A4, as both do diesel automatics. In the Saab it's the 150bhp engine and in the Audi it a choice of 130bhp 4-cyl or 163bhp 6-cyl units. I know most about the Audi 130bhp engine and the need for it to bed in properly and to check the oil before
• Solar Battery Charger 2 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  and the battery was flat! One of the downsides of having an automatic is that you can't bump start it so I had to recharge the battery. Surprisingly this only took a couple of hours. I have been driving it every 3 days and it seems ok! Now to the "subject" of this post! Has anyone any experience of the Solar
