• Mondeo diesel running roughly 30 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Friend's S reg 1998 Mondeo diesel: The engine has started to run very roughly. Took it in to Ford dealer, they checked ECU etc. I suspected a slight blockage in the injection - so have put detergents in and given it an Italian tune up (ie revved it lots in driving). No joy - if anything
• LED brake lights 25 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  I sat behind a recent Merc S-Class the other day which had LED lights. We were in stop-start traffic in broad daylight and he was using his foot brake nearly constantly. The effect on my eyes was not pleasant. It was almost painful. Perhaps Mercedes, BMW, Range Rover etc should investigate better

• Ford Ka - gearbox or clutch problem 6 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  I have recentally (yesterday) found that my gearbox seems to have changed - It will go into a gear but it is either tough or I need to do it slowly. It seems to be the same for all changes but I am not sure what to do. The car is a S plate Ka and not very expensive and therefore dont want to pay

  Right have just bought beautiful 3 door 1998 Saab 900 s 2 litre from my neighbour. He can't tell me about the last timing best change (the car has 98000 miles). Methinks I read somewhere that this engine has a timing chain. Was it cheap at £1000? One owner, alloys etc

  Anybody changed the heater balance resistor/ control pack as it may be known. Suspect it's gone U/S as the fan now only works on selection 4. It's a known common fault,but just want to make sure that the improved resistor pack Ford now offer is compatable with my 1997 model in terms of wiring

• Safety idea for motoring - patents? 3 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  I believe that I have had an idea which would save 1000's of lives every year and wish to submit it to the motor manufacturers. Can I patent an idea? Or do I actually have to find a way of constructing a prototype and patenting that? Obviously I'm totally in the dark as to this (no that's

• Repairing scuffed alloys 1 May 2005 (Forum)
  My wife has just kerbed her 206cc and put a couple of nasty scuffs in the F/N/S alloy - they're not deep but a bit unsightly as they're on the face rather than the rim. I've found loads of places which will repair them but is there anything I can do myself? Appologies if this has been asked

  I've recently had my car laser checked which has revealed that my n/s/r wheel is out of alignment- the car has a slight pull to the left which is most noticable under braking. Is the rear alignment adjustable and if so is this a Honda dealer job or could I expect to find an independent to carry
