a couple of weeks ago i was visiting my brother in london. i parked outside his flat on a private parking area. i have done this several times before and never had a problem. However this time i came back to find a clamp!

The carpark has one sign, on a wall that as you enter the car park is high up, and behind you. there is plenty of other walls where a sign could be, but there is just this one.... Read more

Scan the first page of the claim form and send it to me by email. I mostly need to see the bit which says "particulars of claim" and also the issue date.

I also need a photograph of the signs and a (hand drawn) plan of the car park showing the positions of the signs....

Help please - we keep coming back to head gasket but that is non-sensible.

We recently bought 1999 model 214i 1400 K series. It had just been given a full MOT (within 7 days) where the cat had to be replaced - proof of failure and receipt supplied with MOT.... Read more

I'd agree with the above, but the smell worries me. As the CAT has been replaced, it sounds like it could be being overloaded with fuel. This will quickly start to wreck it expecially if it is an aftermarket unit. I would suggest an emmision test ASAP. Out of interest, do you know what the gas reading were at the time of MOT failure?

Car is a 56 reg, does anyone know if this is the same engine that is in the Mazda 6 diesel of the same year? Read more

hi the 2.0 litre mazda 6, mazda5 and mazda3 diesels all share the same engine. The 1.6 mazda3 has a different engine the same as some ford focus, citreon and peugeot models

hope this helps

The radiator fan is coming on sometimes for no apparent reason, as often the engine has only just been started and the radiator is cold. However, on other ocasions there is no problem whatsoever. Last month I had a new cambelt fitted (at 21,825 miles) when the car became 5 years old, and also the air conditioning unit was re-gassed. Could there be any association with this work and the problem I am now experiencing, or is it perhaps due to a fault which lies somewhere else?

A defective coolant temprature transmitter can also cause the same fault. Is the EML on at any time?

Apologies it reads as though the 5 year service was free, it wasn't, but compared to the cost of five services it was excellent value.

I think he paid about £250 for the five year service pack - I doubt Honda would quote £50 for a service!

My discovery 3 has developed damage on the elbow at the top of the fuel tank this will require a new fuel tank £850 fitted.

My intial thoughts are: If this was a design fault there would very very many more incidents like this, apparently this is a once in a fitters life time event.... Read more

Hi,

You've not mentioned if its petrol or diesel. A diesel tank can be welded - even if its full of fuel as it's not volatile like petrol. I know because I've welded many truck tanks leaking. ...

Hi

I recently bought a cav and two days after purchasing...it started to lose power...down to 2000rpm when doing 70 on motorway, huccuping on idiling. No Engine managment light has come on, but 4 weeks later the car continues to do so , and I darent drive it anywhere.
A friend who knows his way round cars, said its the mass flow meter...and its an easy job to replace????
Could it be this part? Ive looked at the exhaust and it all seems fine. Im a student nurse and cannot afford garage prices and really dont want to fork out for a part if its not the problem!

Any help would be very grateful.... Read more
