• Ford Explorer automatic gearbox fault 31 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  A Ford Explorer, that is may be 10 or so years old, has just had it's faulty automatic gearbox replaced with a brand new one. On a test drive it worked fine until the box got warmed up and then it stayed in drive and had to be braked to a halt juddering. Next day, it did the same again
• vectra di power loss 9 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  I have a 1997 Vectra 2l di 130k, the problem is that lately the brakes have gone spongey at the pedal, feeling very vague, and after a few seconds slowly head for the floor,as if i am loosing fluid or have a knackered servo, but have no fluid loss,at the same time the engine is as dead as a door

• LPG runs faster ! Ford Transit. 2 litre 14 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  drop back fully to tickover which means a bit more braking ! If I switch off the gas the revs drop to normal as soon as the petrol takes over. The throttle linkage is OK - its a gas thing I think. Anybody had a similar problem or any ideas please?
• Waiting for the impact 7 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  was also at a standstill but would anyone let me out! Lights changed to green, all sprint forward up to the stationary traffic which appeared to be invisible to the sprinters as there was a lot of sharp braking going on. I thought, any second now... Sure enough, on the less than grippy surface, bang
• Car Servicing 31 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  I would like advice about car services. I have a Micra year 2000, which I have had for 2 years. I have always just got 6 monthly oil changes, replaced the air filter and spark plugs myself, carried out the rest of the basic checks and had things like brake fluid and coolant changed when required
• One less reason to be upset... 18 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  That VW transporter illuded me a few weeks ago but never mind... The Trafic only cost a total of £133 for its MOT (including the fee). Not bad for a van that cost £750 Christmas 2002 Problems were: Rear brakes - Compensator needed adjusting Rear bumper sharp edges - tidied up and sharp edges now
• Fiesta wobbly steering 3 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  there but the frequency is much faster so, practically speaking, its less noticeable. In all other respects the handling seems quite normal, no pulling to one side or any vibration and self centres normally and brakes in a straight line. Checked tyres (even looking for a bulge in the tread which once happened to me) done
• Mazda MX6 Auto cutting out 11 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  the loss of brakes and power steering is disconcerting. The only evidence of a fault I could see was the HOLD light flashed on the console. The manufacturers hand book helpfully explains this is an electrical issue in the Auto transmission. Does anyone know if this is a simple sensor issue or something far
• Golf MkIV, losing power 1 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  Had a strange event with my (14 month old) Golf MkIV. I was coming around a busy roundabout, in 2nd and gently accelerating, when suddenly the battery warning light came on (no other warning lights) and I lost all power to the steering (and, I guess, to the assisted brakes, but it was a bit
• K10 Micra worry 7 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  it until i know where the asbesos is on the car. I have rang Nissan and they couldn't tell me where the asbestos is. I understand it could be one of three places perhaps. The clutch, brakes pads or the bulkhead. Could you please tell me where the asbestos is so i can crack on with sorting this car out? Any
• civic warped discs 4 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  i have a 94 Honda civic LSI thats done 100,000 miles. Shes a lovely little runner but I am getting through more brake discs than petrol. I had none Honda ones on there that lasted 3 months before they warped. I got a new set and they lasted 3 months before again it was stopping like a shaky set
• Trooper Front Hub 6 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Hi Folks, Has anyone done a 3.1 Trooper front brake disc change? I can't seem to get past the automatic diff lock assembly which, I surmise, hides a large nut which keeps the hub on the half-shaft splines. Or does it? Do I need a truck-size puller? The workshop manual for this vehicle costs
• What difference do Tyre Pressures make 2 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  to the handling 3. Would the tyres wear quicker 4. Would it make a difference on the economy The Manufacturers seem to be pretty exact on what pressure they specify ? Does it really make all the difference, especially once the tyres are worn and the shockers, brakes etc are no longer new. Any advice
• Bora rear fogs 19 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  loom is set up for twin rear fogs? I appreciate the safety aspect in that it is sometimes easier to see stop lights when you have only one rear fog light but with more cars having high level brake lights that seems to be less of a problem. Any help would be appreciated. Claybuster
• Vibrating steering wheel. 26 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  I have a 480 volvo that has just been lowered with Leda adjustable suspension, 'new' larger front brakes and 'new' rims with 4 brand new BF goodrich tyres. I now have a vibrating steering wheel at over 50 mph (well it wiggles very subtlely). I suspect that the tyres were not balanced (long story

• Saxo-106 Fuel filter 4 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  the strap into position. If this is the case is there a recognised short cut or alternative. The chap in the parts dept said they usually refit the filter with cable ties. I don,t like the sound of this because I could only see brake or petrol pipes to secure them to. The plastic strap looks so fragile
