Hello

I have a few small dents in my Peugeot 206 with metallic paint, does anyone know of a cheap easy way to get these dents out. The paint has not been cracked, they are bumps from cyclists whilst it was sitting in a car park.

Any feedback, experience etc, recommendations would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance

I've got a VW Polo P Reg (97) 1.6 Classic Saloon (100BHP)

I bought it in September, and its always been serviced at garages by previous owners. Now its my car - and its been almost 5k miles since last change - and seeing as I'm about to do a long drive through France next week, i've decieded to do a change of oil this weekend. HOWEVER (you knew something was coming!) the oil filter on the car at the moment is a very large diesel oil filter (according the local spares shop who had to check what I was going on about when I said that the one they sold me was too small!).

Yesterday when I was in Halfords I had a quick peek at the oil filter selection chart - and it listed 3 possible ones that it could be! Seeing as I can't go by the filter on the car at the moment - can anyone shed any light as to what filter I actually do need. I think that it is the 1F engine in this car if that is any help.

Thanks in Advance

I've got a Espace 2.2Dt, with 57k mile on the clock ,which has over the last couple of days developed a hum noise from the engine bay. It occurs while driving and gets louder with speed, and disappears at low revs/speeds. It appears to be at its loudest at about 65-70mph. It goes when the clutch is pressed in, so as such I can't get it to happen of the drive to aid me locate it. I've read a few threads on here with regards to the crank thrust washers failing which has got me worried!

Thanks in advance to any advice.

I bought a used car the end of October. Along with its current MOT I also received what I now understand to be the bottom end of the V5 document. I remember it had a red colouration to it and had the vehicle details etc. While at the Post Office obtaining a tax disc I was told that I had to turn that bit in and fill out a change of ownership form. I did just that, got my tax disc and thought that was the end of it.

Yesterday I got stopped by the police and the officer asked for my logbook. He looked a bit concerned when I asked him what that was, but he clarified by saying the registration documents for the car. I told him the post office story and he said I should have gotten it in the mail by now. I didn't know I was supposed to get anything in the mail. He took my name and address and radioed it in with (I assume) my car reg number, but I couldn't hear the reply. He seemed bothered that I had no registration documents, but after a min or two he said I was free to go, which is good, but it left me wondering about the next time I am stopped. What should I have in the car as far as documentation?.

This is my first vehicle purchase in the UK. I bought the car from a home trader and followed his (and others) advice for registering the car, but now I am not sure if what I did was correct or sufficient. Read more

My 98 Escort 1.6 Automatic starts normally but stalls as soon as I change gear to Reverse or Drive,mostly first thing in the morning or more so in cold weather. One of the mechanics said it is to do with EMU and the other with its Auto box. What is your opinion
