i recently sc***ped our old astra we tried lots of popular companies and the main ones who say "we buy any car" .com, but we found out to our dismay that they dont, it was in a bad way all the tyres were flat or bald and it had been through the wars dent wise, water was mixing with oil in the engine block so it wasn't a runner anymore, in the end this site was recommended by a neighbour of ours and they were good,
hello im hoping you people can help i recently bought a ford ka 1.3 found the car wasnt picking up speed like it should so i got the oil and spark plugs changed cars seems ok now just slows down a little when going up a hill now my engine has started rumberling while in 1st and 2nd gear sounds fine in 3rd ive had someone look at it and they have said plug 4 is misfiring so i have to pay for new plug leads. im just wondering if this will deffinatly stop the rumberling or could it be anything else??

I have a 2.0 2004 Subaru Legacy Estate. It replaced an 09 plate 1.8 TFSI A3 (I get the train to work now) which in turn replaced an 05 plate Saab 9-3 diesel saloon.
It has almost 80 k miles up, has a full history and 2 owners - one the supplying garage....
Can anyone recommend a good choice of tyres for this model? I am currently running Dunlop SP Fast Response but would welcome suggestions for something different. Good handling and good wear.

You must have sorted out your windscreen problem then willow ? (If your keeping the car)!
In the past I've always traded my car in.
I intend buying my friends car when she gets her new one so I will be selling mine privately. So far so good.
For a short while I could find myself being the owner of two cars. What do others do? Any advice would be appreciated. Read more
Contact your insurer. Some will cover your old car for a few weeks for free, some will charge a fee and some will tell you to buy a whole new annual policy. Only way is to ask.
Car has been running fine but since i accelerated very hard there has been what is best described as a whooshing sound coming from the engine, the car also seems a little sluggish compared to what it was when accelerating. The car does not make the sound when the engine is being revved under no load. Your thoughts gents would be appreciated. Read more
Sounds like you have blown off or split the Turbo output pipe. Very close inspection required. Regards Peter

I have pulled back the rubber proctector on the passenger side, and have found that a thick black wire outter casing has been broken, when looking at the motor there is no black wire? how would i go about repairing this wire, if does look like the wires have been cut through from what i can tel. all other wires seem to be fine. i the process of doing this i have knocked off the wire the attaches to the rear window for heating it, i guess i have to solder this back on?
Thanks in advance.

Likely door lock module. Check to see if there's a puddle light not working on one of the doors. It's a common mkiv fault. PITA to get to - door card off and window regulator off too, but this amateur DIYer managed - a new one is around £80 from VW if I remember correctly. Needs doing as it keeps locking you out!
Or stick it on e bay plenty more choice of buyers.
