• Rover 400 (1995 - 1999) - 99 2.0 TD poor running, won't rev? 26 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  an favourable descripotion, seemed ok but should've been more cautious. The car drives OK, it's possibly a little sluggish and definielty smokey on much throttle. The most obvious fault is that the car won't rev beyond 3200rpm when hot. When cold it'll happily rev (very smokily) but after running for 20

  In the Honest John review of the mark 2 focus they mention the rain runoff from the edge seam of the hatchback glass are there any fixes, symptom after rain if you open and lift the tailgate hatch , water held in the open seam of where the tailgate glass is bonded to the tailgate runs off
• Media used to influence holiday traffic flow? 25 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  Having read an article in one of todays broadsheets regarding the expected Bank Holiday road chaos, it was with much trepidation I set off on the Suffolk to Wiltshire run home this afternoon. This involves the A12, M25 (northern section) and the M4 so I was expecting there to be very heavy traffic
• Citroen AX (1987 -1997) - '95 1.0 Dimension, cold start problems. 3 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  up it runs well. There was a slight burning smell whilst trying to run it cold and some smoke around the exhaust pipe (not coming out of it) I thought it was the autochoke needing adjusting or sticking, but the engine has a Bosch monopoint fuel injection system, so no choke. Have a receipt from 1
• Vauxhall Astra F (1991 - 1998) - 1997 TDS (isuzu) - rev counter 3 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  Some very wet roads on Friday night seem to have gotten to the alternator, first sign of which was the rev counter dropping to Zero as I believe thats how the revcounter is driven. Measured the voltage across the battery with the engine running and it was struggling to get much above 12.5 volts
• Vauxhall Vectra C (2002 - 2008) - Diesel Fuel Quality 30 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  For the last few weeks I had been running my Vectra CDTi1.9 on Shell V diesel to see what difference it made to the economy and performance to justify the extra cost. Over 2500 miles I found that it did accelerate better but the engine didnt seem to run quite as smoothly as it had on ordinary
• Daewoo Matiz, EGR valve fault 28 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Hi - I hope someone can help. My 2001 Matiz 800 started displaying a engine management system fault light recently. After struggling to find anywhere in the immediate vicinity that could run a diagnostic test, I ended up at a nice Chevrolet dealership who did a complimentary diagnostic, and came
• MK1 Mondeo TD Running Fault... 9 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  DOES start, runs for 2-3 seconds, then dies (revving does not save it). Once it has dies, it normally takes a pump or two on the primer to get it restarted. But it does seem pretty random. Today I started to play around with the fuel lines, and worked my way backwards down the line, and it would
• Bentley Running Costs 10 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  I am trying to find out the cost of running a used Bentley. Obviously I would expect my fuel bill to just about double, based on getting around 30-35 MPG at present. Insurance would also be a bit more. What I'm interested in are the servicing costs more than anything. As an example, a 1992
• petril versus diesel 24 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Hello All, I'm having trouble costing out the difference between running diesel and petrol cars. I've run diesels for quite a long time and have always been happy with the mpg. However, some time ago I bought the wife a used Nissan Almera 1.4 petrol. She's a gentle driver and regularly gets
• ZX 1.4 head gasket?? 29 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, Having had no luck from an earlier thread on the hot running of my brothers 1997 ZX 1.4i (60k miles)I have another concern. The original problem was that it ran between 90 - 100 degrees all the time (nearer 100 on motorway). The owners manual says this is correct, and indeed the fan cuts
• Ford Fiesta 1.0 H Reg (Oil using) 2 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Hi folks, I am pretty clueless when it comes to cars I'm afraid. I finished Uni last year and bought a Ford Fiesta 1.0 from a local garage (H reg). It is in great condition and has been a very good runner so far. I bought it as a little run-around, but then I got a job that involves a far bit
• VW TDI Starting noise 20 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  from the engine bay which actually stops the engine running as soon as it fires up. This only happens about once in every 12 starts and on trying to start the engine again everything is fine. When this problem occurs, there is a large amount of smoke from the exhaust. The car runs fine other than
• Running costs 26 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  backroomers cars / published data. I had always thought that depreciation was the biggest cost of motoring but looking at the figures it is a reasonably close run thing with fuel. If the fuel economy had been 25mpg it would have equalled depreciation costs. This for a car that has depreciated a lot. Have I
