• Ford Mondeo Clutch 28 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, Can anyone tell me how the slave cylinder on a mondeo gets its feed for the fluid? I can only find one pipe and that goes directly from the slave cylinder to the clutch housing so that must be the feed to the clutch. Also there is only one master cylinder so does this feed both the brakes

  . Boring I know, but how many people think about these situations in advance - if we had not I think I would not be here as instinct is to brake.
• 98 Mondeo air-con smell. 22 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  My 1998 v6 Mondeo has developed a nasty smell when switched on (not all the time though). The nearest thing i can describe what it is like is a burning clutch or binding brakes. It's still getting as cold as it should be so it's working ok ,also i've had a good sniff under the bonnet and can't
• Spillage in car 16 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  A litre and a half of red wine, all over the carpet underneath the front seats of my Passat. Someone coming the other way too fast on a country lane forced me to brake really hard and two bottles came off the back seat before smashing on the metal of the seat runners. Any suggestions
• Motorway miles. 20 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Always confused when I read an ad. that states high mileage but motorway miles. What does this mean? Are they incinuating less wear and tear? The engine still runs when you drive on a motorway, you still brake. what about in heavy traffic? The clutch gets a hammering here too? And how do you get

  Hi, can anyone help me to solve a problem I\'ve encountered wiring up my new towbar. I\'ve followed the instructions for wiring the 7 pin plug up, and everything seems fine till I connect the tow board and only 1 brake light works on the board. Should I put a bridge across the other connector

• lost adapter for anti theft wheel bolt 8 May 2004 (Forum)
  I have lost the adapter for my anti-theft wheel bolts. I beleive that the garage may have it still as they changed my brake disks and pads and disks 2 days ago. I am going to ring them tomorrow. If they say that they don't have it what options do i have ? (i'm afraid i do not have the code card
• VW New Beetle knocking rear noise 16 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  1.6 New Beetle, there is an odd knocking noise from the rear, noticeable during acceleration (engine past about 2,000 rpm), or during braking, or over rough surfaces ? Had a mechanic check the exhust, which was OK - I\'m wondering if the exhaust is out of alignment and knocking on the suspension

  Hello I have 5yr old 145 cloverleaf, 48k, and recently when I accelerate and more recently when I brake the handbrake light comes on.....any thoughts what this could be?? The handbrake is definately not engaged. Also, at very low speed if I turn wheel slightly to left and slightly to right

• Iveco Daily 35-12 lwb 23 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Yes, I know it's not a car! It's a motorhome & some of you guys may have tinkered with 'em..... 1997, rear disc brakes, & I am assuming "drum in hat" for the handbrake? What is the correct way to strip it all down? The n/s handbrake does not work, & it's not the cable-for once. OR, dare I ask
• 406 discs 1 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  My friend owns a pug 406glx 2.0 auto and is getting through a set of front discs every 10,000mls. His wife uses the car most and does short journeys but she is a typical woman driver and never brakes hard ( unless in an emergency ). He is getting a little fed up with having to have the front discs
