• Citroen C3 (2002 - 2009) - Thinking of selling my C3 18 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  mode about 6 times, all of which have lead to them not knowing what has caused it because the code it comes up with is not recognised. Power steering going all of a sudden, then coming back with no logical reason. Then one by one things going wrong - I've had to call RAC out 4 times in just over
• BMW 5-Series E39 (1996 - 2003) - 1999 5.0 V8 M5 - Throttle Problems 8 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  the car since last August!!!!(I have had it returned to me several times with the fault still occurring)!! They say there is nothing showing on the diagnostic machine or in the history? They have changed Both air flow sensors All the spark modules (spark leads) All spark plugs Some form
• Which car to buy? 18 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  the spec on these following the facelift and I think they're pretty comfortable, tyres should wear slower than the MG, parts will never be a problem but I've heard tales of MAF, EGR and injector problems. Jag X Type 2.0d Sport - As per the Mondeo really, also concerned at possible discontinuation leading
• NIP - who was driving? 11 May 2007 (Forum)
  they can check if the photographic evidence can be of assistance in identifying the driver, will this automatically lead to the Conditional Offer being voided and therefore a court hearing as the leaflet "Speed and Red Light Detection ............" seems to indicate? Any thoughts on this would be much
• Cyclists - psychopaths? 12 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  dogs not on leads? Or little children? All had helmets and lycra so must have been serious about the 'sport'. Over the past few years I've twice been scared witless by a cyclist going at full tilt on the pavement and passing me from behind so I was unaware of their presence until I felt the whoosh
• Help Please. Major Pug 206 Problems 22 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  of the day. Yesterday, with the extreme cold weather, it failed to start despite me trying to using/pumping the fuel primer. I called the AA out who attached plug leads to the battery which did not seem to help, but after several minutes eventually did tick over. So I took the car to the dealer who said
• Engine failure just prior to trading in. 23 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  , and I guess I would have noticed hitting a deep pool of standing water! The dealership and Saab UK insist that it's water ingestion and the only other thing I could think of was cambelt failure leading to a cracked head and coolant being sucked in and then out the airintake, thus making it wet
• Cars easier to service, DIY declining 16 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  /HT leads/distributercap/dealing with structural rust), are no longer part of the regular DIY of contemporary cars Some current car *engines* are only oil and filter changes (Servicing for the actual engine at routine services) . OK I`m refering to the Fiats Multjet here as I`m familiar
• VW Golf Mk3 poor pick-up from idling 4 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  dealer was quoting £300 of labour to replace the throttle body and investigate the problem. Hardly sounds like the diagnostic process is time-efficient, that?s 4 hours? The engine type is ABD and the fuel injection is Bosch mono-motronic. Recent repairs have been new HT leads and new plugs, and a new
• Peugeot 406 TD knocking sound 15 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  or going over bumps, but again this doesn?t happen all the time. It is really hard to pin point exactly, I have had my father holding the shock absorber while I start up and when it does make the knocking sound he couldn?t really feel any vibration in the shock itself, which leads me to think it's more
• Modern Signs Are Rubbish! 19 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  with journey information, the RAC Foundation has warned. A clutter of contradictory signs cause confusion that can lead to crashes, executive director Edmund King will tell a London transport conference. The popularity of in-car devices adds to this "overload", he will say. The foundation is calling
• EC Proposes to end Car Registration Tax 8 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  I noticed that the EC is making proposals to end car registration tax throughout the Union. More money out of our pockets? See below. "The EU executive Commission is proposing a restructure of EU car tax systems which would lead to the eventual abolition of car registration tax in the European
• Half dead cat? 1993 vw polo 8 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  and poor HT leads. The question is (finally), what to do? For the past few years, emissions have been borderline on CO, but Lambda and Hydrocarbons are still well within the tolerances. Do I change it now or could it be something else entirely? I was thinking about getting the opinion of my local VAG
• Thoughts on replacing Polo 22 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Yes, I know, I thought this time would never come... I may need counselling. :( New job's going well, living back with the parents after nearly 4 years away is "interesting", and the first pay cheque has arrived, which of course leads to thought on where to spend it! Polo was only ever intended
• Legal problem - can anyone help? 11 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  that the turn signal was flashing in the second leading up to the accident. However, the local constabulary have just written to her saying that they intend to prosecute her for careless driving but if she wants to to spend 145 pounds she can take a retraining programme with the county council and then they won
• Collating BR FAQ on TDi chip upgrades 11 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  it is that chipping may lead to problems with any of the above. Any corrections or additions to the list are welcome - the idea is to share knowledge and experience. Also, it seems that there are a number of people who have gone ahead and chipped their turbodiesel with excellent results. It would be interesting
• Pug 405 Oil Leak from engine mount 22 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  drip from the lowest corner of the sump, leading me to think either the sump oil seal (Instant Gasket or equivalent), or the rubber rocker cover gasket had let go. Closer inspection suggested the latter. The leak got worse, so I consequently replaced the rocker cover gasket, and found only a minor
• Letter from Lagos 17 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  and Toyota Landcruisers. I was standing pitchside with camera, and he made a point of walking up and saying hello, and having a chat. (I was the only white bloke in the stadium!) The game was pretty good, with Enyimba leading 3-0, due to a succession of goalkeeping errors, when disaster struck

  the stationary queue in lanes 1 and 2 This leads to all three lanes being blocked or at best moving very slowly.

• Ferrari 1 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  on it. Whilst I am not intending to sell it again in the forseeable future, neither do I want it to be worthless. Which also leads to the point that if I put 8000 miles a year on it, it will be, within two years, a *very* high mileage Ferrari. Again, not from a value point of view, but from a maintenance
