• Ford S-MAX - Heater Fan Speed 13 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  I have a 2011 2l tdci which has had an annoying fault since new. The heater /aircon fan works fine when you set the temperature at 18 or above and regulates its speed according to the internal temperature required. However once set to 17 or 16 the fan runs at a constant 80-90% full speed

• Scottish Ferry Road Equivalent Tariff (RET) 26 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  /journey, the RET rate/mile is out of all proportion to HMRC's rate/mile and equally out of proportion to the actual cost of running a car . In my book, the RET mileage rate is over 3 times the actual cost of running a car and still
• Kia Sportage 2006 CRDI - Odd coolant leak 15 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  noticed the following: - The cap seems to work, as when you release it you get some pressure release (much less when fully cold) - When the engine is running and hot, I can't see any coolant leaking - An hour or so later, there is a little bit of coolant showing in the overflow pipe

• Volkswagen Golf GT TDi IV Mk 4 - Rough Idle? 1 Jun 2012 (Forum)
  damage to the car. A local garage tried running a electronic diagnostics tool but said he couldn't find the variant of my car on the tool. It didn't help that at the time the car was running properly so he said he wasn't sure what's wrong. Could it be the fuel injectors being faulty? I always get fuel

• Renault Scenic '53 reg. 1600 petrol - Engine cutting out 5 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  I've had an ongoing problem with the dephaser pulley on my car - I believe it's a fairly common fault with these Renaults. I've not done anything about it because it hasn't been too much of a problem - it just takes 2 or 3 attempts to start from cold, but other than that the car runs ok

• Vauxhall Astra - Tyres deflating 14 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  the potholes on the school run would cause my tyres to deflate, but surely I wouldn't be the only person on the school run to suffer from this problem.  The neighbour who told me this, by the way, has always been very 'keeping up with the Jones's' and tried to pick fault with every aspect of my car
