• Honda Civic - 100,000 miles 29 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Prompted by the thread "How much oil does your high miler use". My trusty '96 1.5 lsi auto is about to hit the 100k miles mark. I have driven 83k of them during my ownership since 2002, all on the motorway. During this time I have looked after it with oil changes at least every 6k, usually 5k

  2002 corsa failed just over the limit on 2nd lambda reading, have changed both sensors, spark plugs, air filter, oil change, temp sensor, oil filter, repaired small hole in exhaust, cleaned throttle block, etc. Even had a camera put into the CAT and shows no breaks or anything. Still just over
• BMW E36 old age care! 10 Sep 2017 (Forum)
  Picked up a nice tidy 316i Compact, a 97 R plater on 123k. Serviced every year and garaged most of its life, and generally in nice nick all over. I'm interested though in any prudent care that's worthwhile on these once into high mileage, aside from the obvious oil changes and routine servicing

• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 2001 1.6LX Seems less 'nippier' since a service 21 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  Hi All, Its just over a month since I got my 1st car. So far it had the engine oil, oil filter, air filter and the spark plugs changed. Concern: It now seems less "nippier", e.g. when I'm trying to get away at the lights, seems to take slightly longer to speed up. People say its not the car, its
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 2004 TDCi 130 - Vapour/Haze 12 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  to improve system pressure. There is a leak on the oil pressure switch (needs changing at next service). It is not possible to see the source of the leak, but it is front of engine rising vertically just left of the centre of the engine. No real smell to the vapour. It is not constant and is most noticeable
• Citroen Berlingo Service Indicator 12 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  upset about the lack of service history when purchased but I suspect it may never have been looked at. It is coming up to a year old which is probably why the indicator is on despite the mileage but I'll be changing it's oil tomorrow and don't plan on getting a dealer service to honour the warranty

• Fiat Punto diesel 6 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  I have just bought one for daughter. I know they aren't the best diesels, but the price seemed OK for its condition & many new parts and year, even allowing for the previous owner only changing the oil annually/10K using semisynthetic instead of 4½K. To be honest, I think the colour and microdisc
• Smart Forfour - Automatic gearbox problems 25 Jul 2015 (Forum)
  at a similar speed, the automatic and unexpected changing down at speed is quite fierce. Shifting to manual mode will obviously stop this happening.  Is there something that can be done?  Will a gearbox oil change help, or is it the gearbox on it's way out and in need
• Mazda 3 1.6 TDCI - After engine change - immobiliser on. 8 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  I recently changed the engine in my 2005 Mazda 3 1.6 tdci. The old engine had run on its own oil and was shot. I bought a 2008 fiesta 1.6 engine, swapped my loom and ecu, clutch, starter and sensors over but left the fiesta injector pump on it as it has much lower mileage. After
