• Nissan Leaf - Leafing my wallet alone! 1 Nov 2024 (Forum)
  however see the economic argument of what we have here. A good used Nissan Leaf at under £15,000 can make for an excellent commuter car or taxi. It costs buttons to run, the fuel is (currently) free and there’s hardly any moving parts to go wrong. The only service item listed by Nissan is the brake

• Vauxhall Vectra C - Vauxhall Vectra C - clutch problems 31 Aug 2016 (Forum)
  . Ignorance is bliss, and all that! I had fitted new brakes, and bled the brake system, around the time the clutch issue disappeared, so with hindsight I'm guessing that was linked due to sharing some of the hydraulics (if I understand it correctly). Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago

  lane of the dual carriageway. They had their driving lights on, but no hazards, indicators or brake lights, so it wasn't obvious that she was stationary initally.. I tried to pull into the outside lane to avoid hitting her, but there was a car travelling at speed in the outside lane, so I ended

  earning money again. I have done this since owning the car, fill up at exactly the same point every time by 2 gallons and reset fuel gauge. I consistently return 30mpg and I do this usually about twice a week. The rear brakes were fixed recently and didn't make a bit of difference, but at least we can

  'signal, manouevre, mirror' despite not being that close to the vehicle it wanted to overtake (thus not giving me much of a chance to realise it was a possibility) and when he realised i was having to brake quite well, swerved back into the nearside lane, then gave me a load of main beam once i'd gone

  with practice. Not so the push-button parking brake ? truly horrible and you?ll see a lot of C4Ps with brake lights on at traffic lights; Worst ? and this probably knocks the C4P on the head for me ? I couldn?t find a comfortable position for my redundant left foot. There is a footrest but it just gets
• Peugeot 205 record? 1 Nov 2000 (Forum)
  after the originals nearly caught fire on the first event. Smoke and smell everywhere and no brakes: quite exciting really! Oil and filters have been changed every 6,000 miles and it certainly paid dividends. I stripped down the engine after 230,000 miles and the machine shop refused to believe me

• Peugeot 508 - Peugeot 508 2019 engine and clutch failure 2 Nov 2023 (Forum)
  My 2019 Peugeot 508 Blue HDI 1.5 has been horrendously unreliable this year despite only just reaching 48,000 miles. It has had two rear suspension arms replaced and brake pads plus discs replaced at 40,000 miles. Then in September 2023 when exiting a roundabout, the car totally cut out with what
• New tyres/bust tyres on the back 24 Jun 2023 (Forum)
  that this refers to somewhere wet, so that “best” can reasonably be taken to mean newest, with most tread. Although this seemed to be discounted by all other posters in the thread, I find this advice convincing, having “lost the back end” of a couple of FWD cars due, I THINK, to lift off engine braking

• Hot smell from rear wheel post service. 17 May 2020 (Forum)
  smell. Investigation revealed the o/s rear wheel was hot. Now to my untrained mind, this suggested a binding brake. But, while i have not had the opportunity to jack up the rear to try and spin the offending wheel, it certainly doesn't feel like it is binding. The driveway on which i was parked
• Ford Focus Estate 2009 1.6TDCi 110, 120k miles - Focus 1.6TDCi Power loss 9 Dec 2019 (Forum)
  Hi All, Some advice please. My car has been and is suffering from power loss. This can be anything from a small but noticeable blip when using cruise control at 70mph on the motorway, to a more noticeable drop when accelerating, which is similar to tapping the brakes. At it's worst

  a month now and he just can’t figure out what/where the noise is coming from, he’s a pretty cautious mechanic and is reluctant to ‘throw parts’ at an ‘old car’. So far he has: - checked and greased the cv boots - cleaned off the brakes and checked everything to do with those - replaced the wheel
