• Hyundai dealer report 23 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Our Trajet has started knocking from the front when braking and steering at low speeds. We took it into our local Hyundai dealer (at a time to suit us) and they offered us a courtesy car at no cost other than a £15 insurance charge and will have it repaired within 48 hours. Seems like good

• Mk 4 Fiesta - clutch position switch? 20 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  Whilst doing a job on my 1996 Fiesta the other day I noticed a pressure switch (like a brake pedal / light switch) above the clutch pedal. I looked in my Haines manual and it says it is a clutch position switch, but doesn't say what it does. Could anyone elighten me as to what this little bit
• The Top Gear Thread - Vol 19 28 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  . It was all fantastic, especially James May racing the guy on the downhill bike, and Ellen Macarther. Also liked the whole Italian supercar thing, though think it was a tad irresponsible for Clarkson to drive knowing he had no brakes.
• Who are the bad drivers? 23 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  I have read the Honest John Backroom off and on for a few years and am struck by the generally responsible attitude of its contributors. No one here ever drives with fog lights on unnecessarily, or holds a mobile phone whilst driving, or drink-drives, or sits in traffic with their brake lights

• Golf Mk4 Clock & Odometer Not Working 3 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  I have a GOLF MK4 and the 2 lcd's (clock,odometer) are not working after a water leak that i had from the sunroof. I don't think that the water drops reached the dashboard, i am sure about that. But the carpet was wet near the brakes. The water moved across the drivers column and down. Do you
• Confess - how many of you do this? 4 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  Driving to work this morning a car lurched across the road at me at a relatively slow speed. As I braked hard, I noticed that the cause was the driver putting his seat belt on after the car was in motion. It something I've often observed and I can't understand why people can't put their belt
• Rear wheel alignment 2001 - Honda Accord 23 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  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
• VW Passat 1.8 20V ABS light 15 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  For about 3 weeks now the ABS light has been coming on, along with the red ignition light (i). The 2 lights come on and a buzzer sounds. the ABS stays on permanent and the ignition light flashes. i first thought it might of been a brake pad indicator, but i changed the pads at the week end
• Micra load sensing valve 8 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  Our 1996 Micra failed its MOT with poor near side rear brake pressure. Leaking cylinder replaced at reasonable £13. Still failed with faulty load sensing valve diagonosed (stops rear wheels locking up). Dealer wants THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY quid for a new valve!! Any ideas - can the old one
• Torque and BHP 23 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  I understand that torque is measuring the ability to turn or twist something about an axis (ie. the driveshaft of a car), but how does that relate in the real world to car engines, in comparison to the brake horse power of an engine? Basically, what's the difference, in layman's terms? For example
• 1998 AMG E55 12 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, I've seen a 98 S reg AMG E55 at a local dealers priced at 15995 with 90k on the clock... looks mint outside and in, and has full MB history. Any opinions? I know servicing, types brakes etc will be expensive for this sort of car, but are there too many miles on the clock

  I need to change the oil, coolant and brake fluid in my 150k 306 diesel which I bought six months ago. After I've bought all the fluids and spent hours reading my haynes manual to find bleed valves and things, is it worth it? How big a job is it and how much time/labour would it take a garage
