  Have a 1996 Ford Escort with the Zetec 1800 DOHC engine, only recently bought it. I have noticed that when coming to a halt or dropping down into 1st gear the revs seem to "stick" at about 1,500rpm for a couple of seconds, they then drop to just below 1000rpm. It also does this if i say rev
• Freezing Washer Nozzles 20 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  Is it just the cars I've had - Peugoet/Citroen/Ford/Volvo - or do other cars have washer nozzles that freeze up. It sure isn't rocket science to use some of all that spare heat under the bonnet to keep things warm. It's dangerous to have a dirty windscreen on the motorway that you can't wash

• Car and bicycle tyre pumps / inflators and gauges 2 Jul 2024 (Forum)
  double-barrelled one where  one of the cylinders has failed after about 5 years, but sort-of still works, just with more effort and which makes a horrible screeching noise due to the broken barrel. I also would like to buy a tyre pressure gauge that can read up to the bicycle tyres' max load

• Vauxhall Zafira A - Electrical gremlins or something else? 11 Sep 2017 (Forum)
  13.6V at idle with headlights, heaters, demisters etc at max - so I don't think it's charging related. I did a bit more investigating and found that the fuses within the under bonnet fuse box were damp. Oh yeah and the cover isn't clipping on properly  the neighbouring relay box is no longer

• Not your usual dilemma! 12 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  for a replacement for the peugeot. So I'm now looking at a Golf GTi 1.8 20v Turbo. Obviously, not so good at economy but I was thinking that it won't depreciate much?
