• Ford focus 02 1.6 Zetec - Loosing power steering fluid after MOT 10 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  for some ford P/S fluid, (MC2 195-A, £20 a bottle, if you're wondering) I've filled it up and run it for a few minutes and the poorly sounding pump sounds a lot happier.     However, when the engine is running, the fluid leaks with 1 drip every second or so from underneath

  of the mind that the ECU relay may be at fault having scrolled thru' annuls of forums but a) where is the ECU relay - unable to locate near fuse box under dashboard on o/s and b) are there any other faults that could be occurring?

• Done 2000 miles in my car now 24 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  very rare to find a 16v late 90's supermini which is also cheaper to insure than slower 8vs. In the mean time I have been spending a bit of money on my other hobbies, HIFI and photography (photography costs is my excuse to visit different cities!).
• Ford Fiesta (2002 - 2008) - 03 1.4 Overheating - now problems 27 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  symptoms or fault codes. I have changed the plugs to no avail, coil pack and leads changed last summer. Can anyone offer any insight here before I go wasting money replacing random parts? I?m looking for a cheapish fix if possible! Also (it?s a digital dash display for temp) why didn?t my gauge show
• Minor Bump, Major Incident 3 May 2009 (Forum)
  details and everyone would been on their way within 10 minutes or so. Not nowadays, the Sharon driver gets out but the Astra occupants stay put. To cut a long story short, the bomberos are called to cut the roof off. All Astra occupants must have apparently suffered '£££whiplash£££'s' So, a minor bump
• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - Focus 20000 mile report 29 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  and torquey 1.6 engine. Allow the revs to climb to about 3500 and the valve timing changes ? you can feel the extra surge. Great for overtaking. Great gearchange and clutch, brilliant steering and handling. A driver?s treat. But it achieves this by still offering a good supple ride. Comfortable seats
• Engines - big and lazy or small and highly-strung? 29 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  At RTJ70's suggestion, let's not confuse a general, though interesting, issue with Oldgit's original question specific to the VW Golf 1.4 TSI. The more general issue - which some people have commented on already in the other thread - is "is there a risk of early failure in a small, highly tuned
• Citroen C4 Picasso 5-st (2007 - ) - Seduced by Picasso 23 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  time my wife has actually enthused over a test drive, rather than say "it's a car in'it"? I had a C4 hatchback before the Saab and was very pleased with it, so.....why am I waking up in a cold sweat each day? I have read the reviews about it not being as sharp to drive as the S-Max or the Scenic

  So yeah the other night I used the M25 for only the second time and??roadworks. I didn?t get flashed, im assuming I?d have seen it as im told its very bright right? Camera wise all that?s bothering me is those average speed ones. A couple of times I had issues with speed limits. I try
• Peugeot 407 (2004 - ) - 2004 2.0 HDI 136 Fuel Economy 9 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  something wrong or the economy on these Pugs is pathetic. Are there any things to go to the dealer armed with, any possible explanations? From what they said when I booked it in they think it is not that far removed from normal but the economy figures quoted everywhere are identical to the Mondeo`s
• How dopey...? 28 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  . Unremarkable, except that I know a bit about the S60 and not only does it have two bulbs for each tail light, but the computer (even the bare-bones one in my S model) gives you an unmissable and specific warning when one of them fails. So this driver (youngish, male, didn't look dim or impoverished) had been
• Peugeot 307 SW (2002 - 2008) - 04 1.6 Worse than expected 1.6 HDI Economy 25 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  to get the best economy possible. The 307's computer tells me I'm averaging 56-57MPG & I'd be very happy with that, but on measuring what I'm putting in the tank, it's only 48! Exactly the same driving profile as the 306. I tried driving extra-economically on a long round trip of 1700 miles & whereas
