• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - fuel system sensors 1 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  purchased it at 6 months old, even with resonable revs - The head-honcho at our Ford dealership merely says that they are prone to this! Any thoughts? {Post reformatted to remove all the >>>'s - DD}
• PT Cruise replacement 22 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  suggestions are: ? Citroen C4 Picasso or, original Xsara Picasso. ? Ford C-Max, possibly S-Max ? Maybe, a SEAT Altea (XL) not sure if it is raised enough. ? VW Touran ? Nissan Cashcow ? At a push a Renault Scenic or Vauxhall Zafira though, he may not remain a friend if I recommend either of these. Possibly

• 'clocking' dilemma, how to sell 26 May 2007 (Forum)
  then meant i knew the car was clocked. I'd only ever intended on keeping it as a temp measure as a man in his 20's didn't really want a Volvo 240.....but how to get rid? I didn't want to lie to anyone or do anything dodgy, but neither did i want to lose too much on the car either. So in the end i let
• Recommend a used supermini/small fam. 30 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  of the current Fiesta, but they don't have much room. As my wife complains about lack of bootspace and the girls aren't getting any smaller, I am at a loss as to why she wants another Fiesta and I started looking at 206's, Fabias and Clios before realising that they are (apart from perhaps the Fabia) equally
• Where's the feedback loop 30 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  , there is often an investigation where they trace back to the root cause(s) of the problem and attempt to fix them. We're (quite rightly) outraged when a similar incident occurs. Yet we're all making the same mistakes time after time on the roads - It seems to me that we're missing that vital feedback loop
• Advice needed please 29 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  I recently took a mk3 mondeo out for a test drive from a small independent dealer. On inspection, I found that the 4 doors needed replacing due to the well know corrosion problem that many early mk3's had. I agreed with the dealer that I would take the car and put a deposit down on the 18th March
• Whose responsibility? 29 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  with a third party warranty when I bought it. They have told me that they will only pay £64 ph for labour, and if it costs more, tough!!? Or is this how third party warranties work? The Renault dealer charges 70 ph, and they want the car for 2 days (for now), so it could get pricey. Questions: Who?s (legal
• Insurance Company refuses to pay up. 29 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  recommend I ask to carry out the work? If the tyre was illegal, can my insurance company refuse to pay out completely? I have always considered tyres a very important part of my maintenance regime and have never scrimped when replacing them, so it 's ironic that this should happen. If the tyre was indeed
• C`Rail misfueling Engineers solutions? 18 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Question, What is a global solution to common rail diesels being misfueled? (With emphasis to elegant mechanical/electrical engineering rather than ( for example) a triangular *cat flap* on the filler neck and matching pump, oh, and with just a nod to occam`s razor :) Some suggested parameters

• I felt sorry for a Ferrari driver! 21 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Coming back south from "oop North" today I joined the M62 newar Howden, S Yorks. Rather peculiar junction, you go over the motorway to a roundabout, double back on yourself to the only exit from roundabout onto a downhill slip road. Near top of slip road was a police car, half on a very narrow hard
• Renault 21 Savanna - Problem with lights 3 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  Hello this is my first post to this forum and I apologise for the length, I am having a nightmare with the lights on the car and was wondering if anybody had any ideas of what the problem(s) might be! 1. The front fog lights are on all the time. This is wether or not the fog light switch

The car usually performed better before the water reached normal temperature. The oil reaches "urban" temperature a few miles later. (C5's have oil and water temp guages). I

  which, apparently, is refundable, if I don't like the car. To which I would ask, why ask for the £200 then? I don't want to get into an argument about why I don't want the car, so I am not risking losing £200. We went to see one a 3 door S model, at a local specialist in ex motability cars
• Oil Temperature and wear 9 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  needs to be at operating temperature before I push hard, I go the long way out of my estate which means that the engine is at about 70C when I enter the spine road (which must be better than going with a stone cold engine?). However, that?s the water temperature, but how long does it take engine oil
