• The Fast And The Furious 15 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  If you're stuck inside this weekend and don't fancy any of the dross on the telly, I recommend you nip out and rent this on DVD or Video. It's set in California, the lead is played by Vin Diesel, it's shot like a video game and the cars are something else. Tricked up RX7s, Integras, Supras (Tomo
• Help! Gottaprob! 21 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  but there's so little of it used that it won't make any difference". Being a trusting fool I believed that, and sprayed a small area, only to find that it DID, and area now looks far worse than it did before. It transpires that the reason the ingredient wasn't in stock was that it's lead based. Shop is now
• Volvo Tyre Tolerances 22 Feb 2001 (Forum)
  tyre should be within 2mm of each other.Therefore the rolling circumference of each wheel would be the same.Failure to adhere to this could lead to transmission failure. I can see the logic that different circumferences would mean that each wheel would be rotating at a different speed thus maybe
• Honda Accord 2.0 SE Vtec (1999) (auto) - Engine Management light issues 12 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  and typically light went off before I got there!! However, diagnostics showed engine misfire, he checked connections etc and had a look at leads/plugs and they were fine, but thought it could simply be because it had been sat for a while, and did say it was a good tidy car. Take it away, drive for a bit
• Two Linux installations - Windows and Symbian S60 31 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  Windows? No need for Antivirus, anti spyware, defrag or reg cleaners. No pop up `nag boxes` either. Will Linux ever take over from Windows, given that Linux is free and an `open` operating system? Here`s where Symbian S60, one of  the worlds leading smartphone operating systems
• Ford Mondeo II (1996 - 2000) - 01 1.8 Running very rough - electrical issue? 22 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  electrical. I've bought HT leads but not yet fitted them due to only ever remembering mid journey. When it's really stuttering, it interferes with the radio, again leading me to believe it's an electrical fault or a short somewhere. Someone suggested it may be the ignition coil pack. I can get a new one
• Renault Clio 1 Petrol (1991 - 1998) - 94 1.4 Emissions Test Failure Causes 19 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  lead connection, caused by water. This may or may not have anything to do with the car, just after starting (i.e. cold) having a tendency to bog down when accelerating. That is presumably a result of a weak/non-existent spark or something. I had read somewhere that this can contribute to emissions
• Ford Escort (1993 - 2000) - '97 1.8 Seatbelt pretensioner wiring- Airbag light 3 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  snipped cable ties underneath the seat cushion which must have previously held this cable on. The wiring which pokes through the carpet is only long enough to reach halfway across the underside of the seat base so I assume the yellow connector lead has been removed. The 4 wires which hang loose

• Any - How long does an exhaust pipe last? 7 Oct 2023 (Forum)
  years. Are exhausts just made from more durable metal now, or do more stringent emissions regulations and the phasing out of leaded petrol mean that the gases passing through the exhaust are less corrosive?
• New car advice - downsizing 6 Feb 2023 (Forum)
  , let's say sub 9 secs on the 0-60 dash. Whilst cost is not a huge factor, I'm looking this time not to spend on premium brands, given I'm in the market for a small car. Higher spec models would be more desirable, and I recognise that certain brands have extremely long lead times
• Vauxhall Frontera sports - Alarm immobilizer thatcham vauxhall Frontera sport 20 Apr 2020 (Forum)
  the engine turns but alarm immobilizer stops it from working. I have to keep unlocking and relocking drivers door and wait and try again until it starts. Failing that I disconnect one lead and try again, then the other. Sometimes both and leave it sitting for some time. Then it starts or it doesn't. I go
• Land Rover Discovery 3 TDi - Discovery ice problem 15 Apr 2020 (Forum)
  sucked flat. Pulled it off to allow air in. Started fine. Left idling for 2 hours and engine heat melted ice and all OK. Q. Why on earth do LR rely on air bubbling through water, in the pipe leading up to the manifold, to dry. Cure. Either suck air in from inside the engine compartment instead
• immobilize immobilizer? (Car won't start... blinki 24 Jun 2019 (Forum)
  . I've tried the following: - disconnect the battery and touch the leads together for 20 seconds - open all doors (hood and trunk), close them all, reactivate the alarm - try several keys (I have three keys that have been "paired" to this car) - insert key in door lock, turn to left

  them however the socket I also bought snapped in half under the slightest twist so back to square one. I'm going to buy a new socket from Halfords tonight, however I've also just called a garage at the end of my road (who I don't really trust) and they've told me the coil pack and leads will also need
• Ford Galaxy - 2016 Galaxy - major air con issue, no parts avail! 26 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  for this, so there must be some available somewhere!! Is this a known problem on the new generation Galaxy/SMax? Guessing it must be if parts are that unavailable and on such a long lead time. Thanks Andy
• Any - Cheap Reliable People Carrier 16 Aug 2017 (Forum)
  an expensive year (injectors and other issues after the relatively short warranty expired) it is another non-runner. The engine shakes more than the Austin Cambridge I owned forty years ago did after a plug lead fell off! Also, purely executed previous bodywork repairs are showing through. They still insist
• Ford Galaxy (2006 - ) - 2005 1.9TD Fuse box burning out 21 Nov 2015 (Forum)
  Hello backroomers, I've have a recurring problem with my Galaxy and would appreciate some feedback. I am now on the 4th fuse box unit, it's the one beside the battery and it's the same terminal that melts each time where the lead runs in from the alternator. Ford replaced the first one

  Our 99 1.6 Astra only gets used as a second car 2-3 times a week for trips of 2-5 miles typically each. Until this year it gave no problems on its previous regime of daily Monday to,Friday trips mostly of about only a mile. However a few times recently I've needed to use jump leads to get the car
