• Mondeo Steering Concern 28 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  wheels, and the original Pirelli P6000`s were changed back to front 2000m ago. At the same time the steering geometry was checked and adjusted.It has just passed it`s M.O.T Could the different tyre treads, or the fact that they are low profile tyres or the different degrees of wear front to back account
• 306 wipers not parking 4 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Hi everyone, I have a question from a work colleague who?s not on the ?net. His Peugeot 306 wipers do not ?park? when switched off (they just stop where they are at the time) He was advised to try another wiper motor, and has tried three separate motors off the shelf from a local breakers

• GPS Antenna location - BMW 18 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  seriously impede the signal to the antenna. I have been in touch with the manufacturer`s technical team today and they are trying to blame the problem on the windscreen fitted to my car and refuse to accept any responsibility for the mal functioning of their unit, which I actually paid almost £100

• Mis-matched xenon headlamps - Citroen C5 10 May 2005 (Forum)
  I've just had the entire n/s xenon headlamp unit replaced on my Dec'01 Citroen C5 due to a failed igniter unit in the original, for the painful cost of £430 (which was after 10% off and free fitting)! However, I've now discovered that whilst the original xenon has a blue tint, the new xenon
• Norde Lorries - query answered 20 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  I can't remember which thread but someone mentioned an old make of lorry called Norde, and how they'd seen one travelling at high speed on the M1 in the early 60's. I was leafing through a magazine called (I think) Heritage Commercials at the newsagents. On the last page was an article about Norde
• New Panda? It'll only cost you 8 seconds 20 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Surprised no-one's already posted this. WhatCar? have just released their latest round of security testing. In this year?s annual What Car? Security Supertest, 16 of the 20 new cars on test were broken into within two minutes. The Fiat Panda?s security was the easiest to overcome and resisted
• Honda Accord 1988 - Engine Idle Surging 8 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, I own a 1988 Honda Accord, which has just survived a snapped cambelt. (I might add that it was last changed within it?s alloted mileage limit of 72k, so I was a little surprised it failed prematurely) The car has always had a ?surging? problem during it?s warmup phase, during which time
• Speeding (mostly excl cameras) XVII 15 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  It\'s late, I\'m bored and thought I\'d post this. This is an interesting one. I was watching the TV before and that advert came on where the Nissan Sunny careers into that kid and it says \"If this car were travelling at 30mph, it would have stopped....here\" Anyway, I can\'t say I\'d ever
• Big cars - why would you need one? 3 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Sat in an Audi A8 the other day. Quite nice, but made me think 'Why would anyone want a car this big?' Cars like the A8, 7 series, S-class, etc use loads of fuel and are unwieldy. One-up, it's like sitting in an empty concert hall; hardly involving. More rear leg room? Who for, and do they really
• Mid-90's Merc E-class coupe? 20 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  I'm looking to spend about £8-9k. I don't want something run-of-the-mill, I'd prefer something a bit special. My eye was recently caught by a Merc E320...
• shaky road wheel - Pug 306 11 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  and popped the drive shaft out of the back of the hub. When I grip the hub and move it from side to side there is movement in the hub. My friend seems to think this is a wheel bearing problem but I have been told that a wheel bearing makes noise when it\'s faulty. So if it\'s not that does anybody know what
• Removal of Alternator - Astra 1.7TD 1 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  and a half\' but that\'s a bit vague for me and seems a long time. I\'ve been told by someone local that it\'s possible to have an alternator off and back on again within 20 mins. Are the VX dealer trying to rip me off (aside from their £60/hour labour rate) or do you think that an hour to an hour
• Possible dead cylinder head gasket? 18 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a 1999 Renault Clio 1.6 Si and have noticed a few worrying symptoms. It\'s done about 53000. I suspect a dead cylinder gasket, and would be grateful for some advice. - Slow loss of cooling water. Yes - topping it up with additive. - Bubbling noise behind dash on accelleration. - Dried
• Renault Radio 20 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  means you never have to take your hands of the steering wheel to control it (I\'m sure you get the picture) and also the actual cd player doesn\'t have a display, it\'s on the top of the dash (like on vectra\'s).....Would stereos bought today be compatiable with these as I\'d like to keep these features
• About Time Too! 8 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  From today's Times "Sir, You report (March 5) that ?The Government is to analyse thousands of crashes involving heavy lorries to discover why they are involved in so many crashes on Britain?s motorway network.? Why bother? Any motorway user can tell the Government that they are driven suicidally

• Converting an automatic to manual ? 22 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  as all the electronics may be linked. I was thinking more of late 80's or early 90's cars, where the electronics, if at all, were fairly "basic". Would a conversion prove to be financially unfeasible ? Would you have to notify DVLA and pass a MOT type test etc? Chad.R P.S. Specifically, I
