McLaren T25 City car - Revolutionary - or roll over? 12 Jul 2010 (Forum)
Just what we need for crowded roads, perhaps. But a couple of lads returning from a night out drinking would seem to be able to roll this on it`s side. I can beat 74 mpg in the Punto van too - despite it being twice the weight. Will it catch on though? And perhaps even more -
Ford Fusion - Tyre Pressure For 175/65 R14 Tyres 9 Jul 2010 (Forum)
A relation recently gifted me a set of old 14inch alloys, my steel wheels were 15inch. I'm glad to have gone down a size because I've always felt that the 15inch steel wheels and 195/60 r15's were too close to the wheel arch. Anyway the 14inch wheels have been fitted with 175/65 -
1.8 nissan almera auto 2002 - new exhaust now engine management light on 6 Jul 2010 (Forum)
. No luck. Going to take it back to KwikFit - they caused the problem after all. What should I be asking them to do? Is this a new sensor(s) issue? Different CAT? Really inconvenient for me so need to get it sorted & not just re-set again. Thanks for any advice. JM -

Hello, Recently the temperature guage on my 1.6Zetec S Fiesta (51 plate) has fluctuated quite a lot. For example on a normal 20minute drive the guage would start normal, then go into the red, then back to the middle, then higher, then lower etc. Yesterday when I returned home -

Distinctive motoring `sniffs` 10 Apr 2010 (Forum)
Well you do sniff at some motoring things, don`t you? ;-) Duckhams Q20/50 stood out as really different to other motor oils at the time I had a Mini van in 68. Not just in it`s green colour but it also smelt great. Wonder why? - I certainly don`t notice anything attractive about the smell -

Renault Megane (1999 - 2002) - 01 1.4 Lumpy Tickover 21 Feb 2010 (Forum)
''. Starting the engine at home from cold the engine misses slightly on the quarter mile steep incline. Once warm the engine runs reasonably well but at idle it deviates by around 200rpm. The stepper motor and map sensor have both been replaced with s/h but working units. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. -

a realistic MPG for the 1.6 petrol? I had one as a courtesy car for 3 days and was impressed, the spec seemed good even for the 1.6 S variant and the prices seem to be around Ford Focus level as well ( I know the S40 is based on the Focus chassis so the handling is pretty good) -

I had the cambelt changed on my 1997 1.25 16v Zetec engined Fiesta by a small local French garage, billed for 2.5 hrs labour (total 110?). Has anybody got the book time? I thought that the book time was 3.5 hrs (with P/S), or is my memory failing? Rhetorical question, I know it is! A good -
