    and then smaller ones after that but still very black. This left a visible black mark on the wet floor under my exhaust. It has also developed a bad sounding rattle that comes and goes.

  • BMW 1 Series E81/E87 (2004 - ) - 120D SE : 6000 mile ownership report 20 Oct 2007 (Forum)
    . It took two visits to the dealer to have it fixed under warranty, however, which was somewhat irritating. AM radio reception is also poor, but that is the norm for BMWs in my experience.

  • Ford Focus Saloon - Ford Focus TDCI 55 Plate Rain/Electrical issue? 15 Feb 2014 (Forum)
    , no radio display, nothing. Car stalls and we coast into a layby. Again the battery is ready 4.7ish volts, slightly erracitcally so I guess the battery is naff. I figure that if there is a drain on the battery it should show a slightly higher reading when the positive lead is disconnected so I take

  • Car Supermarkets, £8k Midlands 4 Apr 2007 (Forum)
    it started for me to check the other electrics (radio, mirrors, wipers etc). But I did think this was the bargain of the day, even though I've not driven - can't be that diff from Clio I imagine.
