• Are you at the leading or trailing edge? gadgets 29 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  - if you get a buzz out of brand new tech, then great. Ever noticed though that you can`t `make` yourself change with this. You`re either a `trailing edge` or `leading edge` person and stuck with it ;-) Regards oilrag

  has the original HT leads - which I have now sprayed with WD 40. Although its bucketing down, the engine is bone dry and the HT leads seem in good condition despite being almost 5 years old. I have to say that the HT leans don't seem that tight a fit on the top of the plugs - they pop into place

• Interactive speed signs 13 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  When these flash up the limit, they are just warnings right? They don't actually lead to a fine like a camera do they? It's just I passed through about 5 today...

  and flowers, the customer pays for these through higher prices. As you don't like the way Tesla (both dealer and manufacturer) have treated you, I would definitely look at a different brand of car. Plenty of other makes and dealers out there. Think most factory order lead times are around 3 months, so I
• Ford Focus - Rough idle on petrol focus 18 Mar 2012 (Forum)

  Did a really stupid thing in trying to jump start this car from another whose engine was running. I attached the jump leads in the wrong sense on the Clio and didn't realise until the leads got hot. After this the Clio won't start ! There is now a near short on the chubbyish cable which runs from
• Daewoo nexia poor running 16 Mar 2007 (Forum)

• factors affecting suspension bush wear 17 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  After about 18,000 miles, I'm told that the bushes on my Ford Ka are sufficiently worn to need replacing. That got me wondering about what factors would have lead to them being so well worn at this stage. 1)Obviously, the roads that one drives over will make a big difference. 2) The quality
• 1995 1.3SPi Mini won't start! 12 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a 1995 SPi Rover Mini Cooper, and she has somehow decided that she doesn't want to start. The battery is fully charged, it turns over but won't fire up. Have used a voltmeter to check that the full 12v is going to the coil. For some reason, there are no sparks coming from the HT lead

  Bringing my chirldren back from a horseriding lesson the other day, Whilst travelling along a narrow country road at about 15mph I came across 3 labrador sized dogs. Although the dogs were very friendly they were off a lead and were a bit of a nuicance to me and other traffic. Either side of me
