  Hey guys, Right my car starts fine and seems to idle and run ok until she starts warming up (roughly around the end of the red bar), when she seems a little down on power but also starts smoking from the exhaust. Upon parking up, she spits out plenty of smoke and even some petrol
• Do insurers pass claims details on? 22 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Last summer whilst I was parked at our local hospital, the car in front reversed into me as he was about to leave. We exchanged details and I had my car checked the following day but other than a small mark on the bumper it was fine and I was happy to leave it. The other guy had already contacted

• Ford KA, KA2, KA3 (1996 - 2008) - 03 1.3 Steering Pump noise & shaft end float 29 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  53,000miles. Noise developed from what I thought was the steering pump, mostly a moan. Not silly loud but it developed over about a fortnight. It's most pronouced when stopped-parked- and revved, though when driving it would be masked by other noises anyway. I removed the serpentine belt

• Cutting congestion 26 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  something which seems to be getting less common - walk ! Given the amount of whingeing people do about the price of petrol, parking costs/fines etc. I really can't understand why people who live in areas like mine don't walk or even take the bus more often. For some it seems to be a question of image
• Post-delivery discover engine duff any recourse? 3 Nov 2018 (Forum)
  decided to risk it. We agreed he would deliver the car to me, which he did (albeit several hours later than planned so it was dark by the time he arrived). Anyway, it started fine, we drove it off the truck and parked it up in my street- it ran fine for a few minutes with no obvious problem. We
• Selling a cosmetically challenged car 19 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  I had always intended to just keep it until it fell apart, and had no plans that I would ever sell it, I haven't bothered to keep it in good nick cosmetically. I don't particularly care what my car looks like, and in fact I kinda like it looking rubbish, as then I'm never worried about parking

• Ford S-MAX - Heater Fan Speed 13 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  I have a 2011 2l tdci which has had an annoying fault since new. The heater /aircon fan works fine when you set the temperature at 18 or above and regulates its speed according to the internal temperature required. However once set to 17 or 16 the fan runs at a constant 80-90% full speed

• Citroen ZX wont start. Help! 2 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  Hi everyone, I'm after some advice... I've a problem with my Citroen ZX (92J 1360 (carb)) that's got me a bit flummoxed. The problem began when I pulled into a parking space - it stalled suddenly just before I stopped. After that it hasn't run at all. I've checked the ignition and it seems
• More drivers use mobile phone since penalty change 13 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  it seems to me that the likelihood of a penalty changing behaviour is proportional to both the chance and the cost of being caught. So, if they really do believe that using phones is a menace, they need to either start catching more people (if they parked an unmarked car near me, then could get literally

  Experiencing strange behavior with my 320D. Was running fine until Sunday when I stopped the car. When I came back and tried to start it again no joy. It was turning over but just not starting. My initial reaction was that it must be the battery. I got a set of jump leads and the car started
• Three bulbs blown within 48 hours? Haunted car? 11 May 2009 (Forum)
  Never had any trouble with bulbs in this car, yesterday I asked my dad to move his car up so I could park behind him and noticed one of his rear tail lights was out. My dad the next day went and got a replacement and fitted it himself after showing him what to do the day before. He was very proud
• Peugeot 806 MPV (1995 - 2003) - 2002 2.0 HDi 16v Engine cuts out 17 Mar 2009 (Forum)
