• Don't miss this. 26 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  Sit or set your Video recorders for 2000hrs (Zulu) Monday 25th March, 2002 Channel 4. It has an engine, brakes, tyres and you will never get done for speeding in it. Keep your Rolls, Mercs, Mini etc I wish I had one. And if they did restore it in 14 days then I'll eat HJ's hat. DVD

  Any suggestions on what car i can get for £4500 to replace my 180,000 mile Mk 2 Golf GTI with failing brakes. Don't really want to go for a Vauxhall/ Ford. Considering a diesel such as a Peugeot 306 or mk3 Golf TDI. Going off to auction tonight so if you have any opinions...!! Thanks!
• Ford Mondeo - Ford Mondeo MK4 thumping sound from rear? 1 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  braking.  Any ideas what it could be? It's just passed its MOT with no advisories so a little disappointed. I wanted the car to last a year lol. The car doesn't feel out of alignment and doesn't veer at all. We drove it back home 180 miles with no issues (apart from the noise at low speeds
• Honda CR-V 2.2 diesel i-cdti - Throttle response 30 Sep 2018 (Forum)
  it did not. I then took to cleaning the valve with oven cleaner and brake cleaner and it worked every time it tested then. It was refitted and all seemed well. Previously I had replaced the brake switch in case that was the fault and also fitted another pedal too. This fault comes and goes by the way. I

• Ford Mondeo Automatic 2 litre hatch 2002 - Engine Warning Light on dashboard remaining on 15 Oct 2014 (Forum)
  indicator light could relate to any number of faults, e.g. low brake pads / discs. Does anyone know if this is true ? I believe that the brakes may currently be  low and this would not be too difficult to manage I have no wish to ignore the warning but am also a bit short of cash
• 04(53) civic ctdi - high pressure fuel pump bust scrap or repair 27 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  £1200. It was also due new brakes and we suspected the power steering could fail soon. (Would not recentre and sometimes steerring sluggish). Garage says a tooth has actually broken off the drive for the fuel pump. Is it time to call it a day, not really an economical repair.  We do have
• Query about my service 9 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  was planning on doing this weekend which is annoying. Also, they have charged £120 for labour when previous services were charged at £60 plus parts. What they have done extra is change the brake fluid and replaced both lights at the front on the side plus a numberplate light. What do

• skoda superb 1.9TDi 130 PD - electrical fault? 25 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  started to flash. I arrived home and resolved to contact my dealer. Later, when it was darker I noticed the brake lights were stuck on. After some pedal waggling they went off. Presumably a faulty micro switch. I wondered if the two are connected or just a coincidence. Could a faulty brake light switch
• Drivers on Roundabouts - A moan! 15 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  a straight line across the roundabout and thus force the middle lane driver into the right lane or to brake as the right lane driver is already in the right hand lane on the roundabout.  It restricts capacity and effectively makes the 3 lane roundabout a 2 lane roundabout!  And don't get me
• ABC (absolute b****y carelessness) 14 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  .  That happens to us fairly often because I don’t like to go hell for leather down hills then brake for the bends.  Generally the overtaking car has to brake heavily before the bend and when the road is wet it is dodgy, especially after a dry period.  But, the road was dry.  This time we
• Peugeot 607 - 607 3.0 Auto 'Clonks' into Reverse Gear 31 May 2010 (Forum)
  I was looking at a 2004 607 3.0 V6 at a car auction last week, the car looked in excellent condition but when I put the car in reverse with my foot on the foot brake it felt as though the gearbox jolted into reverse with a fair bit of force, sending a bit of a vibration throughout the car. I
• Ford Fiesta - Whats this coming through the floor? 26 May 2010 (Forum)
  Hi all I have recently had my brakes fixed.  In the last week or so I have been having problems with the accelerator peddle.  I have on a few occasions now caught the accelerator when I have pushed the brake, and it has just felt 'wrong'.  I noticed today it seems
• Kangaroo cars 14 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  The plight of the occupants of the car speeding at 120mph toward a road junction in the USA, without throttle control or brakes was truly fear inspiring. I too had a sticking throttle problem with the second new car that I bought, although thankfully not the brakes. A stiff throttle cable

• Citroen C5 (2001 - 2008) - 2004 2.0 Petrol Review 15 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  brakes did need re-aliginging but this is a known c5 issue. The car is very quiet and rides the motorway so quietly, any other car i ride in now seam to have hard suspension. Seats also very comfotable. Overall for a car that cost me only £5000 with 30 K on the clock i am very impressed. If you don't
• Do you recognise your car's cries for help ? 13 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  it was a Skoda and got a bit prickly, but the bearing has since been replaced under warranty. It made me think of a few noises that I can diagnose by sound alone; driveshafts clicking, propshafts clicking (but differently), worn brake shoes and brake pads grinding, cracked coil spring rattle, door seal whistle

• 214 bad vibration thro steering wheel 28 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  pressures and were a little uneven however made no difference and went through the MOT with this problem so assuming its nothing loose in the steering rack etc. Had an issue lately with the brakes as the drivers side caliper had shed its bolts and garage said it must have been due to vibration
