• Passat 2009 CR Bluemotion2 - Aux belt-->Cambelt--> Rocker-->Camshaft failure 26 Apr 2015 (Forum)
  but none of the timings would align (sic, excuse my ignorance)...further investigation revealed that the lobes on both camshafts had been damaged by the slipped timing belt meaning that these camshafts will also have to be replaced.  Apparently they are 'pressed on' rather than cast, meaning

  set-up (arms, bushes etc etc) or even can they reproduce the problem. I have new shocks all round, which did nothing to help, and a full 4-wheel alignment by a company who definitely knew what they were doing. The guy who road-tested after the 4-WA did notice the twitch (so its not a figment of my

  the alignment checked. So I headed to kwik fit for a check (it had the alignment done when I had 4 new tyres just before xmas). We got it on the machine, quite interested and a little obsessed I observed with eagle eyes. The hunter system spat out all green with the steering wheel dead straight. With no money
• SEAT Alhambra - Rear tyres worn on inside 15 Jan 2020 (Forum)
  and is on the way out.  I don't straddle speedbumps.  My mechanic reckoned I needed a four wheel align, and phoned up to see if someone could be do it, only to be told there's no rear adjustment on the Alhambra. So that leaves me a bit stuck, and at £130/tyre, I don't really want
• Peugeot 208 - Do you think this is repairable? 11 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  attached to the car. Each one has been pulled/dented/deep scratched. Doors still align, but doesn't look like you'll be able to 'suck' damage out!   As the damage is on the whole main side panel of the cars (no the doors, but the bit holding doors in place!) is this the sort
• Citroen Berlingo Multispace2004 - Rear N,S, tyre wear on outer edge 8 Jun 2015 (Forum)
  aligmnent can be an issue on PSA vehicles. Would a standard 4 wheel alignment be able to detect if it is the subframe, or would that would need further diagnosis? Is it possible that worn/soft rear suspension is allowing the geometry to change? It's usually loaded with tools and has done

  Hi All, I have a 2006 Vectra "facelift" model.  I am looking for advice on how to adjust the Main or Full Beam. The normal dipped beams are set perfectly, and can be adjusted internally depending on load.  However, the main beam alignment is terrible. When I opt

  Hi, I've owned my car from 6k on the clock and it has always had a mild wheel wobble at 70mph. I've had all wheels balanced and subframe aligned, and now with 40k it is milder than it originally was. However, recently I have noticed a wobbling sound coming from the rear as soon as you go above
• Merc CLK 3.2 (yr 2000) - Elec window broken/stuck 16 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  The window mechanism has become jammed, the motor tries to wind the window up/down but gets no higher than half way up. Having tried to encourage it by pulling it up so I can leave the car secure, it's now out of align, and seems a but floppy/loose. Anyway it's still half way up and I
• Vauxhall Signum - Drumming sound from rear wheels 23 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  . I've just had new front tyres fitted and all 4 wheels aligned (they were quite badly out) the rear tyres, which are originals,  have been inspected and whilst tread is low, they are legal with no signs of damage. I don't hear the drumming on acceleration, catch it when lifting off
• Jaguar X-type 2.2 Diesel Estate - Tyre Deformation 6 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  the cause could be at either end.  I am thinking of going to one of the alignment centres given on the website, or could the cause be something else? Vehicle: Jaguar X-type 2.2 Diesel Estate, June 2006, 63000 miles, dealer serviced, never crashed. Tyres: Michelin Primacy HP 225/45 17YR, all 4
• FIAT Punto - Punto died whilst driving 28 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  My son has a fiat punto 1.2 8v (Y plate) and on Thursday last week whilst driving the car it stopped. RAC called out and said they suspect timing belt! Could the belt have slipped and if so, is it easy to re-align (with a new belt)? Or is the problem simpler

• Annoying things your council has done 22 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  traffic in places it baffles the mind to understand why. £800,000 on a roundabout improvement which seems to amount to a few new white lines...very pretty but what expensive paint. Local tyre dealers and wheel alignment places are overjoyed. Low slung sports cars have to avoid humps or lose sumps. I could

• Escort steering problem. 9 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  ; it is usually worse after making a full-lock turn and it can veer to the left or the right. I have had the wheel alignment checked and that is fine. I originally thought it may be a suspension problem, i.e. worn dampers, which had only become noticeable when new springs were fitted, but surely this would result
