• P11 Primera pollen filter 12 May 2005 (Forum)
  Hi, I wonder if P11 Primera has pollen filter ? It does seem to be mentioned on various news groups occasionally, but the car manual doesn't mention it, neither does Haynes manual. Nor does dealer's service schedule include changing one. This leads me to beleive that if it does exist it has never

• Squeeky Laguna 17 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  1999 'T' Laguna 1.8 RTE Problem being is that when the engine is running there seems to be a squeel similar to a chirping bird coming from the engine. When the car revs faster, the louder and quicker the squeel which leads me to that it is either a belt problem or a bearing that has run dry
• Peugeot 406 1.8 cam lifters 17 May 2003 (Forum)
  A while ago my dealer replaced all 16 cam lifters suggesting they were worn and clearly that was not the case. I think they had become aerated and failed to open the valves leading to non starting. I have seen similar problems reported with Rover 800 and Mondeo engines. Not much on Peugeots though

• Toyota RAV4 - What is this hanging from the front of my car?? 13 Jul 2022 (Forum)
  Hello, I've just noticed a little black box attached to a lead, hanging from the front grille of my car. It's about the size and shape of a medium padlock and looks like something electrical. Would anyone know what it is?  And is it okay if I push it back through the grille

• Honda Jazz 2008 EX - Changing battery 25 Apr 2016 (Forum)
  I am confused.  I have rung a couple of places for battery prices and some tell me that I will need to set up a 'trickle charge' to the leads as I change the battery as it will mess with the ECU, radio and clock settings - the clock and the radio I am fine with the ECU
• BMW 5 Series Touring E61 - air con failure due to stone damage 4 May 2015 (Forum)
  My air con has failed due to stone damage leading to a repair bill of just shy of £800. Since the failure is due to stone damage surely this a design fault due to insufficient shielding.  Is BMW liable due to design failure for any of the repair bill?
