I've been offered a 2001 C5 2.2HDi at a very good price... the downside is, it has some declared faults... The suspension apparently raises itself up for no apparent reason - can anyone shed any light on this? Googling indicates that the Hydractive system on this model automatically raises -

I have, on several occasions have realised my Ford Focus 2012 has not locked properly. This car has the automatic door protectors which are connected to the door mechanism. The problem I find is that you have to be careful that you give the door extra force when closing -

Volvo V70 - fire hazard/damage who is responsible/pays 22 Oct 2013 (Forum)
we can collect it. They have offered to replace the seat for £900. I was expecting a more concerned reply from Volvo. Is this not a defect if the manual says there should be an automatic cut off once temperature is achieved? Who is resonsible -

:-) I am looking for an automatic car that will be used for at least a year and then sold. Thus, cars with low depreciation are with high priority. I prefer buying either new or approved car.

Nissan Micra SE K12 2003 - EPS / Power steering assembly pro 29 Dec 2011 (Forum)
, maybe more than half the current value of the car. A solution would be to get a recon unit fitted (cost around £200 plus fitting) but, obviously, the dealer would not touch such a solution. My question is whether a recon unit would automatically communicate with the rest -

Peugeot 607 - 607 3.0 Auto 'Clonks' into Reverse Gear 31 May 2010 (Forum)
when I put it into reverse? Is this jolt normal when a tiptronic automatic 607 3.0 is put into reverse or does it indicate something wrong with the gearbox. Given that the car is in an auction it's impossible to test drive it before buying it. I've never had a 607 before but a few years ago I -

as I can gather, there are 2 tensioners and as the car has A/C I *think* it has the automatic tensioner (there's a vertical spring going upto the tensioner pulley & the square hole in the tensioner assembly that I apparently should insert a 3/8" bar to do the levering) and that I should be able -
