• Ford Mondeo MK2 - Mondeo MK2 can feel knocking through brake pedal 1 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  When braking in my mk2 mondeo I can feel a knocking through the brake pedal. I am reasonably mechanically minded and have checked this on the net including this site and basically I have eliminated most common causes.. 1) Both drive shafts have been replaced with new ones (the n/s
• Street robbery - pavement people assessment 14 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  I`ve been aware of people surrounding me, in public, for many decades now - the work  just made you like that and the tendency was strengthened  by travelling  in South East Asia. It`s intrusive at first, but then becomes second nature as you scan the pavement in front

• Hyundai - Buying a new Hyundai - procedure for paying 10 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Hello, I?ve been a long-time lurker of this forum, but have only just got round to registering. Anyhow, I?m in the process of buying a new Hyundai (an i30 estate, diesel, comfort spec) from a Hyundai dealer. It?s the first time I?ve bought a ?new? car (actually, a pre-reg but it will apparently
• Another of those - "which car should I choose ?" 25 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  So, I have a dilemma. I've recently taken a field based role in the company I work for, which involves lugging around some pretty large bits of kit for demo's etc. I have a company pool car (I intend to buy privately though), and at the moment, the car I have is the Cooper S. Now, I absolutely

• how oily can a flywheel be? Primera 23 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  and it\'s just as bad. Garage had another test drive and agree it judders and haven\'t mentioned any other cause like engine mounts.

  My Sister in Law's husband used to be a foreman in a well-known Merseyside car factory in the 1970's. He died some years ago and my sister in law and I were reminiscing the other evening.

  The car is a 1997 Mondeo 2.0 GLX 16v automatic estate. It won?t start intermittently. Usually you can hear the starter motor solenoid click, but the starter motor doesn?t turn. The lights don?t dim, suggesting the starter motor?s contacts aren?t contacting. Every time this has happened, it has

  Looking to move my Jaguar S-Type diesel on and get a Lexus 400 hybrid. I’m not really looking for anyone’s opinion on whether they agree or disagree with the concept of hybrids, more from any experience of either an RX400h or later RX450h. Anything mechanically, electrically or bodily I need
