From the described symptom; ignition coil failure sounds far more likely.
I have a Ford Focus 1.8i. I am finding the engine keeps cutting out, the speedo drops to zero and if i don't keep the revs up the car stalls. Has anyone heard of this propblem before and does anyone have any answers? I am finding it pretty worrying , especially when it happens arround corners!!!.

Thinking about changing my 2.8 frontera,been looking at 96/97/98 Range rovers 2.5 diesel,just wondering do all of these have bmw 6 cyl engine and adj air suspension,they are a nice looking jeep,just wondered if they any good?any thoughts????? Read more
I agree the 2.5 D is an absolute SLUG, not helped by very badly chosen gear ratios for road work use. You really will think someone has chained you down with an ship anchor.

Finally decided that the Tom tom range of sat-navs was the one to go for,but can't seem to see what the difference between the "go one" and the "go 300" is.Can anybody Help? Read more
I suspect the One will replace the Go 300. But take a look at this review (and others on the same website):

The new units will now be able to control your iPOD and plug into your stereo etc.
Could anybody tell me where the diagnostic plug pin location on a Hyundai Accent is located ? Read more
It should be in the lower dash panel, directly below the steering column.
Hi, this is a problem that was first mentioned by RIC22 on the 22 Dec 05. The problem was that his car would not idle and stall at junctions. I am interested in purchasing a Mazda 6 121BHP diesel. And I have been trying to find out as much information about the problems with Mazda 6 diesels. I spoke to my local Mazda dealer. Said that the car is generally very realiable. Mentioned the stalling of Mazda 6 diesels. Said that this was a common problem. And that all they did was remove the injector pump and send it to DENSO in UK for repair. However they noticed that DENSO wouldn't repair the pump they would just send a new one. Also mentioned about a clutch judder problem. Again they said this only affected the 02-03 models after that the clutch assembly was modified. Anyone got any comments to add about Mazda 6 diesels??

Screwloose, thanks for your input. However are you aware of any other faults that are common on the Mazda 6 diesels. Can you provide/send me any advice on what to look for when checking a Mazda 6 diesel
thanks Raman
Hi,
I have an Astra estate (53) petrol / LPg car (works car)
2 weeks ago i was having my dinner in the car (mobile engineer) when there was a popping noise and lots of steam coming from under the bonnet. The top radiator hose had blown.
After the garage had fixed it i noticed the heaters were blowing cold when stationary, warm when moving so I filled up the coolent system with water. I now have to do this every couple of days and the water in the 'expansion bottle' is a bit milky coloured.
Any Ideas?
i know its a works car and i dont have to pay the repair bill but i dont want my company thinking i'm some sort of nutter driver which i'm not.
thanks

Sounds like blown head gasket,in which case they cannot blame you,unless levels have not been checked as they should be/warning lights had not been attended to,also usually after this occurs garage should have checked out reason why the hose blew.
they dont blow for no reason

did you find out about my relay problem ? There are three relays attached to the fuse box in boot - above the battery. Would one of these be the offender ?
