• Sleepless night for this guy 6 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  I was delivering goods on a fairly run down estate today and there was a young guy lying under a Corsa doing some welding with an arc welder. During the fifteen or so minutes I was there he was working away quite happily, taking great care with his efforts. No eye protection whatsoever, not even

  Hey Can anyone tell me what I can do with my oil burner for performance??? I've seen one running at 150BHP so I know it's possible but how do I start?? I've ordered an exhaust and induction kit which should take it past the 105BHP mark but then I'm stuck. Help appreciated Cheers

• Fiat Brava stalling 6 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  My son's 1.6 litre petrol Brava has taken to cutting out from time to time when the accelerator pedal is released. This will happen intermittently, perhaps every few minutes. It can be restarted with no problem. A clue to the problem might lie in the fact that it runs roughly and surges when

• Vectra trouble codes 4 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  My X25XE-engined Vectra often exhibits ecu trouble very briefly, without running problems, but I am unable to make sense of the codes which are usually "10-1-10-10" or "10-3-3-5". These do not comply with the format indicated in the Haynes fault codes manual or the "OBD-II" universal codes. Where
• Mazda 323 97 12 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  What do people think of this car? I like the lines, but it's an old model with what HJ calls a high death rate (worrying). I imagine, being a Mazda it's reliable and though I couldn't afford to run the the V6, I've been offered a 1.8 Executive with 79,000 miles for £1500. What can expect
• Premium diesel + cleaners 8 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  Just finished a test on my car after running the Redex Gold diesel injector treatment through it. With 40 litres of cheap 'n' nasty Esso diesel in followed by 20 litres of BP Ultimate, the fuel economy went from 44 to 51mpg. I was exceptionally sceptical so am continuing to test with cheap diesel
• Highways Agency Patrols 23 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  Who are these people who have suddenly appeared in traffic-cop style Range-Rovers? Can they prosecute and arrest people? What do they do all day when the motorway is running smoothly, or when a disruption is not something they can solve with their high-visability jackets and a 4WD full of cones
• Nissan Primera Squealing Noise 5 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  My 1998 Primera GT has developed an intermittent squealing noise. Audible from inside the car - louder from the outside. Doesn't happen at all on short runs, only after driving steadily for 30 mins. or so. Seems to be unconnected to road speed and engine revs. The noise goes away temporarily if I

• Toyota RAV4 extended warranty 20 Feb 2006 (Forum)

• Audi Avant A6 2.5TDI auto-starting probl 3 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  My Audi A6 2.5 TDI will start each morning but after a run and 3 hours or so standing it takes 10 or more turns to fire. The glowplugs are fine so it is probably some engine management sensor. My garage has not been able to pinpoint the problem. Has anyone suggestions as to what it might be?

• PAS Pump Failed - Opel Combo van 26 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  The Opel Combo van has a problem - the pipes serving the PAS pump have corroded and therefore fluid has run out. Mechanic has checked it out and said OK to drive - but not for long distances. My question is - if its ok to drive for short trips, why not longer trips? I realise steering

  G'Day, got a '03 plate TDi 130 quattro, done 20k miles. Computer says I'm getting average 40 on local journeys, 43-44 on longer runs. Is this about right? I canna find Audi's official figures. T'is great car and consumption seems pretty good (particularly as quattro must add weight). Anyone
