• Premium SE - Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid After 16 Months. 25 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  Hi all, though I would write with my thoughts on this great little car that I took delivery of at the end of March last year. Well, it's just come back from its 40,000 miles service today. It's brake pads are only 10% worn, and the original tyres on the front are still at 3.7mm. I have refuelled
• Citroen C2 - General help with separating a bottom ball joint 7 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  have studied the joint and dont really know where to start.  Do I need to jack up part of suspension/brake hub in order to counteract the weight? I bought a scissor style seperating tool as I read they were the best type, but it looks like this wont fit on the bottom ball joint

  I am a car dealer and one of my 1st and best customers have came back to me with an issue that is frustrating us. The rear window opens seperatly to the boot but does not de-mist and the rear wiper does not work. Possible a seperate issue (bulb may need changing) but the 3rd brake light also
• Getting incorrect MOT advisories deleted 26 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  last MOT I got an advisory "Front brake pad(s) wearing thin" which did surprise me as I check them when I rotate the tyres every 10K and I’m not a heavy braker – so, against my instinct, I trusted the tester's discretion and bought a set of pads (Eurocarparts 50% off sale - woohoo!) and set
• Ford Focus - How many reverse lights does a Ford Focus Mk2 have 2 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  as, depending on where you stand, you wouldn't be able to see it. Now either side of the rear windscreen you have a red piece of plastic (I presume the brake lights) and a clear piece of plastic which are the indicators. I haven't looked but should this clear plastic house the reverse lights too (so

• 2011 Focus 1.8 Duratec - Mk2.5 Focus acceleration/throttle issues? 17 Oct 2017 (Forum)
  the car is braking gently, only slightly perceptable and almost like hitting a wall of air. Aftef 10-20 minutes of this the "i" light comes on displaying engine malfunction and then goes into reduced speed mode.  Restarting the car fixes the problem and thus far I have been unable to diagnose

  as expected. Steering and Brakes fine, fitted 4 new AVOn ZV5  just around 19000 miles as wanted plenty of tread before the alleged harsh winter that might be coming. Roomy and comfortable enough, but a pit stop needed on long jouneys, but no complaints on day to day driving. Still almost 3

  not going to fire up. This feels like a write-off but it is beyond my experience... i generally get my old cars through the MOTs but only go as far as welding/ suspention/ brakes, that kind of stuff... If anyone can give a hint as to where to start looking or if I should just tow

• Lost control on roundabout, part ducks, Kumho tyre 5 Jun 2015 (Forum)
  tyres, they are dangerous. Straight line braking is fine, transverse grip is poor. Ever since they were fitted, a month ago, I've sensed a hard to define lack of grip when cornering, and today just confirms that suspicion. So, avoid Kumho tyres is my advice. Now I need to fit some proper
• Passat/Golf/Octavia - Used car for around £3k 24 Feb 2015 (Forum)
  this is when Volks will start to brake. Alternatively, there is an Octavia 2.0TDI with only 80k on the clock, but it has got a DSG, which I am worried about. It's meant to be great, but when breaks down it costs a fortune to repair/replace. Then there is a golf with under 50k with SDI, which are great

• Carelessness equals carlessness 12 Nov 2013 (Forum)
  through the Police road-block about 07:15 am here was definitely ice on the road in parts because when I braked to slow down on a hill the ABS came into operation momentarily.  Whether the accident was caused by ice or carelessness I don’t know, but the car had rolled, perhaps several times
• BMW 3 Series Compact E46 - Old Car Electrics 7 Nov 2013 (Forum)
  of the dashboard lights were on as were the brake lights and the central locking did not work either. Surprisingly the car started and ran OK with all the lights out but removing the key left all the lights etc still on. Disconnecting the battery turned everything off but reconnecting lit it all up again
