• omega clunk 5 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  Hi all, car is a 2.oL 16v omega auto box. 89K on clock. When I slow down I get a mechanical clunk sound. It's either when changing from 3rd to 2nd, or from 2nd to 1st during braking. Access is dismal underneath, even so I wouldn't know what to check 1st. Anyone any ideas? Hope I don't need a new
• Pulling to the Left 18 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  My old non-power-steering Volvo 440 ('G' reg) pulls to the left, it's not violent and it seems to be the same whether under braking or not. If you take your hands off the wheel it'll run into kerb within 3-4 seconds. Have checked tyre pressures and they're OK, it passed its MOT so I presume

• RAV4 (00-) - Alloy corrosion 13 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  For those of you who bought one of the first RAV4's in the new shape, have you noticed a certain blackening on your alloys, more so on the front? You may want to check the surface finish next time you're cleaning the brake dust off. It should really be lacquered... We advised the Toyota franchise
• Air flow when TB is closed? 21 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  How does an engine get its air when you take your foot off the throttle but leave it in gear (engine braking). I am assuming that the engine is not actually firing and is creating a near total vacuum inside as the idle bypass could not possibly provide enough air flow to keep 5k revs happy. Please
• M25 Ripple effect ? 12 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  The M25 has always seemed to suffer from a ripple effect - hold ups which suddenly appear then disappear for no apparent reason. I've hear it is due to the combination of high volumes of traffic and the erratic braking of some drivers. If this is so, why havn't I ever come across the ripple

  Its time to change my 95 306 xrtd cam belt , last time I did this task the most awkward bit was getting cam belt top rear cover removed. The brake resevoir gets in the way, I ended up lifting the resevoir out of the way which of course dumped the fluid all over the bulkhead. Any suggestions?

• Ford Fiesta mk5 1.3 Endura - Grinding noise from mk5 fiesta in traffic 11 Jun 2012 (Forum)
  . It starts off sounding similar to a rubbing brake (in so much as it happens regularly, like it's happening every revolution "of something") then progressively gets louder and for a "longer" duration until there's a grinding sound all the time, akin to duff bearing (ie there all the time). I've done some
• Peugeot 306 - small list of problems..... 7 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  it be something else?  Another problem is with hard braking there is a speed related knocking from the rear of the car. It is NOT the exhaust. The brakes aren't too clever though so would it be possible that the rear brakes are siezed? i cant get the rear drum off to look
• Merc C200 24 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  . I was very nice to drive, being larger than any car I have driven before.  The seats for me and Herself were very comfortable, and the engine was barely audible.  To my disappointment though the road / tyre noise at certain speeds (90-120kph) was quite loud. The parking brake

• MK8 Civic 2.2 - Horn Relay? 30 Mar 2022 (Forum)
  Horn stopped working yesterday. Brake lights work,  so assume fuse # 21 is OK. I can hear clicking under steering wheel when pressing the horn switch so also assume "relay" - if there is one (?) is also working properly. Is there anything else to try before pulling the front bumper ( why do
