• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 1999 1.6 running roughly 30 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  Driving along quite happily today at about 40mph in top gear in SHMBO's 306, when it started to run a bit hesitantly, kept driving for about another two miles to our final destination and it got gradually worse, but not enough to warrant stopping. Did not stall when we reached our destination
• Peugeot 2008 petrol - Fan running sporadically 8 Jun 2022 (Forum)
  The cooling fan appears to have taken on a life of it’s own. It runs on after even the shortest of journeys. Indeed, it ran on when I simply moved the car off the drive this morning.  Whilst driving it comes on and goes off in what seems a random way, regardless
• Singer Vogue - Borg Warner Type 35 2 Oct 2019 (Forum)
  I have a problem with the gearbox. The car will run In 1,st gear (low) no problems. But when I drive it runs great until it shifts up to 2nd then it feels like the engine loses power and starts running as though the engine is seezing up. Any thoughts? The fluid is new, car revs great up

  Daft question maybe, but anything to liven January up. Question is related to a previous posting in which I referred to an as-yet-unexplained 'abnormal running mode' which I experienced in a diesel car. I know that some stationary one-cylinder engines can be started backwards, but can a multi

  Amazingly tonight I saw an elderly gentleman in an '04 reg Skoda Fabia with the cardboard sign in the rear window that I haven't seen for years.. 'running in please pass' Apart from raising a wry smile, the question I ask is is this really neccesary anymore? do you really need to treat a brand new

  Two months ago my vehicle started behaving like it has run out of diesel. When you put your foot on the accelrator, the engine cut out. When released its ran again until you went over 2k revs. After two miles it finally cut out with a lot of blue smoke. The garage re-programmed the injectors

• Honda HRV 1.5 eHEV - Auxiliary battery running flat 22 Mar 2024 (Forum)
  in the garage for a week or lots of local runs , owners are resorting to buying a “ jump start “ pack. Surely the cars are not “fit for purpose” . But does this problem affect other Hybrid cars ? Ive not seen many Toyota Prius taxis stranded and they do lots of short
• Any with an electric rad fan - How long does your fan run on after engine-off? 2 May 2020 (Forum)
  Ive got the fan manually controlled at the moment. This is not satisfactory and I hope to be able to restore temperature switch control presently, but meantime, I'm wondering how long I should leave it running after switch-off.. Never really noticed. Perhaps yáll didn't either
