• Error codes - why not display directly? 31 May 2007 (Forum)
  Instead of pushing consumers to dealers every time a warning light comes up (for fault diagnosys), why can't the cars display error code directly on dashboard?? Is it another way of extracting money from drivers?? I think in BMW X5, dash displayes message like "Check brake light" etc. I think
• Kwik Fit + pads and discs 10 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Advert in one of today's tabloids in which Kwik Fit are saying that if they fit you new brake discs and pads you will never pay for replacements so long as you own the car (Terms and conditions apply). When I asked them about replacements some weeks ago they were the same price as the Main Agent

  Surely should have more go than this?! Was being overtaken uphill by lorries on the A23, having to change down just to make it up some of 'em... Had a quick look to make sure brakes aren't binding or incorrectly adjusted, nothing hot or obviously amiss. Belongs to girlfriend, 24,000 miles, been

• Clio slow speed squeak 9 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  At very low speeds (i.e. crawling in traffic in first gear) my Clio squeaks. This happens when the brakes are not in use. The car is 3 years old and has done 33k. I thought that it could be the wheel bearings. Perhaps it is too early for these to become worn and the noise is much more a squeak
• Auto Transmission problem - Mondeo 1997 3 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  My 1997 2L mondeo has a problem with its auto transmission. It doesn't change to 2nd or 4th gear and the O/D light flashes. The garage told me that the 2nd and 4th brake band needs changing. My warranty should cover this but wear and tear is excluded. Can you tell me if this should be classed
• Inspired by biofuel? 2 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  My local paper reports this week the case of a man driving with vegetable oil instead of hydraulic fluid in his brake system. He used it ?by mistake?. Two garages had told him the car was a death trap, but he drove on. The police caught up with him when he was driving with four kids in the car. He
• Micra 3 door K11 5800 mls -- how much? 29 May 2006 (Forum)
  I have an October 2001 Micra that has done less that 6k miles. Well maintained, such as is needed for such low milage -- oil changed, antifreeze changed at 3 years, brake fluid at 2 years. Have to look very hard to see any blemish. What is a realistic price to ask for it in a weekly rag

• Ford Mondeo Clutch 28 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, Can anyone tell me how the slave cylinder on a mondeo gets its feed for the fluid? I can only find one pipe and that goes directly from the slave cylinder to the clutch housing so that must be the feed to the clutch. Also there is only one master cylinder so does this feed both the brakes

  . Boring I know, but how many people think about these situations in advance - if we had not I think I would not be here as instinct is to brake.
• 98 Mondeo air-con smell. 22 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  My 1998 v6 Mondeo has developed a nasty smell when switched on (not all the time though). The nearest thing i can describe what it is like is a burning clutch or binding brakes. It's still getting as cold as it should be so it's working ok ,also i've had a good sniff under the bonnet and can't
• Spillage in car 16 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  A litre and a half of red wine, all over the carpet underneath the front seats of my Passat. Someone coming the other way too fast on a country lane forced me to brake really hard and two bottles came off the back seat before smashing on the metal of the seat runners. Any suggestions
• Motorway miles. 20 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Always confused when I read an ad. that states high mileage but motorway miles. What does this mean? Are they incinuating less wear and tear? The engine still runs when you drive on a motorway, you still brake. what about in heavy traffic? The clutch gets a hammering here too? And how do you get
