• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - Estate options for 5k 2 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  unit and performance would be adequate, but wouldn't say no to the 1.8 or 2.0; the extra fuel/insurance isn't a major issue. Must have air con. Do the Zetecs have sportier suspension than the others, or is it just cosmetic? I'm reasonably happy I've made the right choice (ok, it might be an idea

  You know the good weather's here once more when the rash of air con problems surface! Guilty as charged, m'lud. We own a Renault Megan Scenic 1997, and have had it since birth.

  a Renault but Vauxhall seem to be making buying a new Vivaro as difficult as possible with currently a 2 month wait for factory orders whereas apparently Renaults Trafics are sitting at the docks with electric packs and air con almost thrown in with the price. Any views?

  and has a full set of extras including sat nav, air con, keyless entry and igntion and lots of other toys.

  I've never done a cambelt change before but I thought I'd give it a go on my 1994 MK3 Golf Driver (1.8 8V SPI petrol, code ABS, power steering, no air con). However..... Actually everything went well except for the first time I think I got the intermediate shaft one tooth out so it ran badly. I
• Oil Leak - Rover 220 Turbo (T-Series) 24 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  could on the weekend - got the bottom pretty clean but access to the top is terrible (rigid air con pipes in the way). Did my best anyway. Made sure the area around the block/head join just below the distributor was clean and dry. Ran for a bit and there was plenty of oil runing off the gearbox

• renault espace mk 3 2.2dci - clutch problem 21 Jun 2020 (Forum)
  with a couple brews in to boot. This job is quick and easy.... apart fron the rubber bung because if you get giddy poking it in with a scewdriver you could rupture an air con pipe attached to the bulkhead (renault technicians have done this, I didnt but I did have to take the dash out again to do it better
• Which car? 3 Apr 2024 (Forum)
  .  My current Hyundai i10 is sooooo basic that the windscreen wipers are either on or off, no electric side mirrors so I have to clamber over the passenger seat if i need to adjust it! So I am now after a 5 door hatchback (petrol) with a few extras like the entertainment/sat nav display, air-con
