  for really no work. I'm reasonably handy DIY and can change oil, plugs, filters, brakes etc, as such I intend doing my own service every 6 months. I will need something to reset the service indicator light, EBAY has lots of tools like this U581 code reader which claims to work on FIAT digital CAN systems

• Making an offer on a scooter (Kymco) 1 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  fair? Can anyone give me an idea of how much lower I can bargain this price down to. 2. Since the scooter has been in the showroom for one year +, should the engine oil, gear oil, coolant and brake fluid be changed as it may have deteriorated within this time. 3. The scooter was taken in and out

  tried: New Cat, Lambda Sensor, New Oil Filter (and Oil Change), Air Filter, Petrol Filter, New Spark Plugs and Leads, New Distributor Cap, and I have put Wynns Injector Cleaner in my Petrol.

• Tesla Motors electric car 0-60 in 4 sec! 7 May 2007 (Forum)
  Please excuse me if this has been brought up recently - I admit to not having frequented the backroom much recently. I find this interesting and thought some of you would, too. It's the Tesla Motors new sports car. A straight electric with regenerative braking and a 250hp motor, I think it heralds
• Seicento - mistake? 24 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  was sitting very high - is this normal or is it adjustable as it was arkward coming back onto the gas after braking?

• Does Mk3 1.6 Golf have a pierberg carb? 21 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  to consult the C by C section. No history, so probably wants a cambelt & water pump, is the screen price of £2.4 too high assuming I could knock off £200/£300 to allow for the cambelt change and sundry brake work? ---------------------------------------------- One mans junk is another mans treasure
• Clunky suspension Audi 80 3 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  for any looseness within the strut and drive shafts. Also get a vibrating when on motorway and braking at motorway speeds, new discs and pads, new tyres and balancing made no difference.

  Hello All, Got a little problem with my 97 A4 2.4 V6, when cold the engine etc is fine and smooth but after a minute of driving the engine idle bounces for a while and sometimes stalls when using the steering and brakes at low speeds. It is like it is trying to find the correct idle speed

  and restart which clears the warning lights. This version of safe mode doesn't let you do 40 mph or anything near that, it maintains idle speed which is enough to ensure that brake and steering assistance is not lost.
