• Mondeo ABS 4 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  My '97 Mondeo estate (80,000 miles) has taken to veering mildly to the left on braking. This turns out to be a failure of the Fr RHS brake to operate properly, and it seems that the difference between the 2 front brake would lead to an MoT failure. After checking out the system, it seems

• Renault Avantime 9 Jun 2002 (Forum)
  the new Avantime for 30 mins. What a strange car! Still not sure if it was any good, but I've never been stared at so much. The styling grew on me and in dark colours it looks particularly good. However, I've got a sneaky suspicion this is going to be a residual lead balloon when it comes to trade
• Rover Sterling 827 2 Jun 2002 (Forum)
  Can anybody give advice why my heater of my 1993 Rover 827 Sterling (V6 Honda engine) does not emit hot air. One day, the hot air failed to work, cold air OK. Engine gets to normal working temp. We flushed out the inlet/outlet pipes leading to the heater matrix and the matrix itself - all clear

  .. There is a bit of hesitation at low revs, and light throttle, though have put this down to a damaged spark lead, as can see arcing in the vicinity from time to time. Anyone any ideas, I was thinking as the engine is covered in oil crankshaft position sensor or the like is may be playing up.
• De-icing test. 16 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  Had to use SWMBO's BX Estate today. This car stands out and, due to a high moisture level inside from muddy wellingtons/wet mats the ice is as much inside as out. Thought I'd try the mains fan heater trick as mentioned in previous threads. Absolutely brilliant! Popped the extension lead out from
• Rover flywheel wear 4 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  & there appears to be some wear on the teeth in the four areas the flywheel comes to rest. This is annoying because two years ago I replaced the flywheel as the old one had severe wear on the teeth. At that time the starter jammed & refused to operate at all, leading to several AA call outs. Has anyone

  with it... Initially the starter motor gave up so I reconditioned it - end of probs (so I thought) once the cold/wet weather began the car struggled to start but once it had then it was ok for the rest of the day. I duly replaced the coil-pack, HT leads, plugs, dizzy cap and rotor (there was evidence of arcking

• Four legged rather than 4 wheel drives - Horses plus accidents 10 Feb 2024 (Forum)
  ; it is tricky enough to control one horse, but they should not be holding or controlling riderless horse/pony. Even more so when leading 2,3 or 4 others. This should be made illegal. I wonder how they would come off if an accident occurs as they are very definitely not in control. Are they insured

  there are deals to be done on those diesels.  The Ateca i test drove in 190bhp 2.0 DSG form was really very good.  Is buying a 2018 model diesel such a bad thing?  Will it be an unsellable anchor in a few years time,  are they now clean as we are lead to believe?  What's the view.
