  relieved im not looking at a £600 cylinder head removal. Three miles down the road the car starts miss-firing again and i limp home.

  , they'd quite happily refund all the monies I've paid to date. Well that's just brilliant, considering that they'd sell it to someone else anyway, probably for a higher price due to the shorter lead time. I won't let them get away with it. Any ideas on what I should do?
• Ask Byers Part 2 28 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  . So we have two good questions on that, Question 1) "Why do you plan "Predict and Provide" facilities for air travel but refuse to do the same for road transport"?" Whilst on the face of it this is an excellent question I fear this will just lead to a New Labour PC reply straight from the hymn sheet

  From a local newspaper: A young Phoenix man and his passenger died horrific deaths on Sunday when his car burst into flames in a crash which police say was linked to drag racing. Leon Jagesur and a young woman, who has not been identified, were burnt beyond recognition on the M19 leading

  . No work was going on and I got the impression they needed to cannibalise that floor?s fittings for other rooms leading eventually I suppose to the closing-down of the place in years to come owing to the never ending shortage of materials and supplies. It goes without saying that in the 35 C heat the air

  and accurate – almost zero understeer.  It rode well on low-profile tyres on all types of surface, and was a very quiet, relaxed cruiser at speed.  Hardly any wind or road noise. I fully charged it once (via the supplied conventional 13A plug & lead), which took 3

• Thoughts on this 80mph idea? 1 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  idea. Such as encouraging people who already far exceed the speed limit to drive faster is a bad idea. Faster speeds can lead to more accidents although research still shows that the UK's roads are among the safest in Europe. However it also shows our speed limits are among the lowest in Europe too
• Car knocked down my wall - what do I do next? 28 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  this, relying on passing messages to us via our neighbour until my wife stopped his van yesterday leads me to speculate that he will stall us until he jumps ship and leaves us to sort out the mess. The neighbour's work has been completed, he wants paying and as he has told her he is going through their car

  which it was a couple of weeks later. The company doing this asked my mum for some more paper work (I was only 19 still at home student) of which she gave them. Now she gave them the documents for both cars instead of just the old one. I never had the new one in my hand ever or saw it. This lead

  they send back, they can't add the points to your license because the full transaction isn't complete. Because of their heavy workload pressures, they don't pursue the matter, so you avoid the penalty. This is of course wrong; your licence would be endorsed regardless, and failure to pay a fine can lead

  the wiser. The stalling is not that serious but it could be. The loss of power which until you re-cycle the ignition means that the brakes and steering are much less effective which downhill on a bend leading up to a busy road might cause a scare. Along with all of the other reports on this website I think
