• Peugeot autosleeper - Buying second hand campervan with 'fixed' rust 22 Jun 2019 (Forum)

The failing items have then disappeared, assuming fixed, and as they haven't

  by Speed Cameras,  The result is the inevitable sharp braking to avoid a ticket and the knock on effect behind and miles yes miles of queues forming most of the day. Smart motorway it is not. Now it seems to me the best solution would be to increase the speed of flow
• Peugeot 108 - Servicing worth paying a main dealer ? 9 Jan 2019 (Forum)
  I have no problem paying a main dealer to service my wife's car and could not fault the service we received whilst under warranty. The issue is I believe I can service my cars to a higher standard because I have all the time in the world. I.e. once a year I strip the brakes completely
• MAZDA CX3 - SERVICE PLANS-PROS AND CONS 17 Jul 2018 (Forum)
  a sneeky feeling the deal might not even include the oil change( anyone know?), hence my obvious question--what's included/what's not? I'm pretty sure that stuff like brake shoes( if needed in year 3!) are not included,suggesting that anything with a flavour of wear and tear ain't either
• Citroen C3 2005 - ABS warning light and no OBD codes 19 May 2018 (Forum)
  the brakes or wheels recently so I don't think I've knocked a sensor or anything.. The last work done on the car was a new clutch a few weeks ago, but I didn't have this warning light appear until the last few days. There's been no change in noises etc that I've been able to detect. I've connected

• Skoda Octavia - Dual Mass Flywheel 30 Apr 2017 (Forum)
  on the road cheaply by simply changing the clutch and slave cylinder. So this is what I did..  My skoda (has 142k miles) and now requires a new cam belt, full service brakes & discs, totally around £1000. If I changed the dmf this will shoot the price up by around another £600
• FIAT Panda 1.2 Dynamic - Odd knocking noise with road speed 18 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  up what the problem was, thinking it could have been a driveshaft, CV joint, suspension, brakes, or something like that, however it passed the MOT with no advisories. I can't see anything out of place, so am at a real loss as to why this noise should be happening. I have done a bit

  class.  When bought the car there was SRS warning, brake light warning and display error warning. I have a maxidiag 802 which can read almost all the cars up to 2015. The A class previously had SRS warning which I did reset using the same machine. But this time I could not communicate

  the fluids replaced, filters, plugs included and brakes given a thorough check over.  It appears to be rust free and everything works! Slight leak on the head breather pipe which will be replaced.  There is so much room under the bonnet! Only issue I have found is that the headlights

  I have what has been up to now a very reliable Citroen Xsara Picasso - Deisel (milage 108890) - It now has a few issues, EGR valve (been cleaned once already), Clutch is high and going, NS Hbrake caliper need renewing as does back brakes, and the timing belt will be due at 150000. The MOT is due
• Peugeot 308 - ABS light permanently on. 25 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  or whatever so put in some Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaner and took it on motorway for about 15 miles. This seemed to do the trick and message disappeared. I now have a ABS brake fault displayed permanently. I have taken it to my mechanic who says that it's a specialist job. The diagnostics state

  Hi Wondering if anyone could advise. Last week my 207 gave me a 'low screen wash' warning, so I topped up and it was fine.

• Peugeot 308 SW, ford focus - can't decide between 308sw and focus estate. 16 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  a bit sceptical about 170Nm. for the same price,  peugeot has bigger and better finished boot,  much more toys (sat-nav,  front sensors,  rear camera,  full LED,  electric park brake,  etc) and (on paper) punchier engine but ford has (in my opinion)  better
• invisible indicators, grrr 23 Jul 2015 (Forum)
  popular where I live and, strangely, they all seem to have ended up with clear rear indicator bulbs. The placing of indicators so close to bright DRLs (the Qashqai is one example of many) renders them all but invisible and, at the rear, the adjacent LED brake lights on some cars (Audi Q7, I'm looking

  Hello Following some excellent advice regarding engines etc, I have a further query regarding the running in period for new cars. I understand that there needs to be a period of time where you treat the car very carefully interms of revs, speed, acceleration, braking etc to allow

  Hi, What's the best course of action....... A while ago my car had water leak into the wiring loom. Ford replaced this and all was well other than a brake light which sometimes worked and sometimes did not. However in the recent hot spell I noticed that my Air Con wasn't working. I was going
