  is a problem - we pulled out all the fuses, and checked cooling fan relays but it wasn't there.

• non-fault accident - classic car policy 25 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  I was recently (Friday) hit from the rear in my 1982 Citroen Dyane. I was sat in a traffic jam, driver behind was tending to her child in the rear seat and hit the o/s/r corner of my car. Upshot of this is that the car is probably an insurance write-off. I have notified my insurance company
• What happened here then? 28 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  the strainer? In any case, I?m surprised the rest of the engine didn?t suffer, but since the its now done best part of 110,000 miles, I can?t say that?s the case.
• Buying Used - "attitude indicators" 14 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  of the owner's driving style / other car(s)- I suppose this could be easily moderated for the test drive? Finally, do you reckon there's any mileage in "one lady owner" cars? Assuming that they are indeed one lady owner (and not "plus one 17 year old son" is the car likely to be in better nick? I guess I'm

• New Car ? Replacement Interval? 26 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  rebuilds of engine, transmission and suspension were routine after only 30-50,000 miles. What?s the optimum time to keep a new car now?

• 'Excessive' brake pedal travel (Polo) 22 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  that, the brakes would always lock. Now, the pedal travels about 1.5 inches (or at least that?s what it seems like) before the brakes work properly, retaining the same feels as they did before, just lower down to the floor. You can press them as hard as you like and the pedal is still well away from the floor
