• Subaru Forester - Winter Warmer 1 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  into the mains, that runs on a timer, which will kick in at a preset time and warm the cars interior before the school run. Therefore getting all the frost/ice melted off, hopefully freeing up the doors that little bit too. Any ideas? I can only find things that run off the 12v socket as supplementary heaters

• Skoda Fabia (2000 - 2007) - 00 1.4 Very rough running & no power on cold start 28 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  Hi everyone, My Fabia has a big problem after starting from cold, particularly when it's damp. The engine runs extremely roughly and the whole car vibrates, with a strong smell of petrol. Give it even a bit of gas and the engine struggles to keep going. Try to drive anywhere and there's a lot
• Mercedes Benz E-Class W124 (1985 - 2000) - 92 2.3 auto erratic tickover 11 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  1992, 2.3 automatic, 142,000 miles Normally runs very well but lately the idle tickover is a bit eratic and rough. It normally runs at about 750-800 revs and is very smooth. Now, it sometimes runs at 550 revs and seems to be nearly going to stall. Starts fine, hot or cold, and the economy
• Pug 406 2.1TD Bad Running 13 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  this for a couple of minutes before the cutting out but will restart and run the same again. All the time it's running it's really rattly as though the pump timing is out, also it blows a bit of white smoke and smells of unburnt diesel from the exhaust I've checked all electrical connections and tried
• Jaguar mystery 31 May 2006 (Forum)
  The independent engineer who does my car was scratching his head over a not very old, 4-litre I think, Jaguar XJ6 the other day. He said it 'wasn't running right' and would also run with three of the plug leads disconnected. He demonstrated. The engine idled very quietly and was clearly
• Xantia 1.9TYD engine run on 6 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, My Xantia 1.9TD engine has just started running on after I sprung an LHM leak fron a hydraulic pipe and it covered the engine bay. I've fixed the pipe but it runs on every time now for quite a while before I can stop it, so it's possible that the cutoff solenoid is being shorted by fluid

  Mine is a 95 M, 170,000 miles. The car has been serviced regularly, and has always run well. The other day it suddenly began to run roughly, no mechanical noises or bangs. Now it is difficult to start, and runs on 3 as far as I can tell. White smoke from the exhaust, and a plume of ditto if you

• Hyundai Getz 1.5CRTD uneven running 23 Mar 2013 (Forum)
  I have a Hyundai Getz which has developed the strangest fault. If the engine is started when completely cold, it starts and runs fine. Similarly, if started when completely warmed up, it starts and runs fine. The problem occurs when you try to restart the car when the engine has not fully warmed up
• Ford Escort (1993 - 2000) - 93 1.4 Overcooling - thermostat problems? 21 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Had this petrol car for about 3 years now. When I got it it was running cold all the time according to the gauge and heater output, top hose getting warm very quickly, so I replaced the thermostat. It improved markedly for just a few months and went downhill again gradually. So about a year later

• Super-saloon - realistic running costs? 5 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  I won't be trading the Boxster for a while, so this is more out of interest than intent, but having spent an afternoon looking at moters on the trader website I saw some tasty 15k-ish motors: * E39 M5 * E46 M3 * CLK 500 * Audi S4 Do these motors realistically cost more to run than a Boxster
