• Rover 414 stalling 3 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  I have an L reg rover 414i. It's been a great car and a good runner - until now. It has 125,000 on the clock. It start perfectly and runs well for the first 20-30 minutes. Depending on the air temperature, if it gets to full running temperature, at speed, the revs can severely dip on occassions

Car feels as if it\'s struggling to go faster - held back in some way. Kickdown, just the same: it changes down but runs out of go at 4,500 rpm. I thought it might be a clogged
• Emissions, and stuff 1 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  If you've been reading recent posts, you might know that I've just taken the Golf TDi for it's MoT. It passed, but not quite just like that. The emissions were OTT. The advice was "change the air filter, put some Miller's Dieselclean Plus in the fuel, change the fuel filter and run it for 600

• Exchange of fluids! 18 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  We have a 2 year old Skoda Fabia 1.9 tdi, with the PD engine. It has covered just under 45,000 km and we hope, as pensioners, to keep the car in good running order until WE are not! I asked my Skoda dealers to carry out the 45,000 service last Monday and in addition requested they change

  times until it will eventually run. Once started, it runs fine, plenty of power and it is not using any coolant or oil (Headgasket was done 6K ago). I thought it could be air getting into the fuel system somewhere, so I pumped the priming bulb several times. There is a slight weep from the top
• Buying my company Volvo? 5 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  After 20 years of company cars my employer is pulling the plug and giving me a monthly allowance instead. As I do 20-25K a year, mostly private miles, this won't let me run a nice new Volvo as I've been doing. My Volvo is 3 years old, has done 75,000 miles. Nothing's gone wrong with it apart from

• Please help 11 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  Am having big problems with the Cavalier. Was running really lumpy today and not idling well at all - put it down to the bane of every Vauxhall owner's life, the idle control valve. Not so I think - I thought I'd clean up the electrics etc with some WD40 - took the car out and thought I'd run

  For the third time in as many weeks I have had to deal with the situation of the wrong grade oil causing severe running problems with a modern engine. This time it was a Zetec 1.6 Escort which would only run in a series of hundred yard (metre) hops before losing power and stalling. When rested

  Does anyone know what the purpose of the 12 foot high wooden panels that are being erected along some sections of smart motorway conversions is ? They give me the feeling of 'nowhere to run' in the event of a breakdown ! Perhaps their purpose is to stop people trying to climb over them /
