Hi

I have a broken passenger door handle and I managed to get the replacement part from a breaker. However, I am unsure of how to remove and replace it. It is sealed to the door card with these plastic rivets. Can anyone help please?... Read more

The newest 330d has the light weight aluminium engine with uprated power and torque.

It's nearly as quick in gear as my 335d. But ultimatly, with an auto box its a glorious combination with oodles of power, silky smooth power delivery and extremely economical. ...

Hi all

I've got a 300 mile trip coming up at the end of august with the mrs and 2 kids, I was just wondering if anyone would consider using either a ratchet strap or a couple of bungee cords over a roof box just for added safety. What do you guys think?... Read more

But would they all fit in the roof box? If not, I'd go for bungees for the kids and ratchet strap for the missus. :-)

Hi,

I have an 06 1.4 petrol Zetec Fiesta with 35K miles. Occasionally if you let the clutch up a bit roughly while under load (like a poor gear change when in a hurry or pulling away very quickly), you get a quick squeal from somewhere under the bonnet as the clutch engages. It only ever happens when using the clutch so I guess it is clutch related. It's not from the pedal, but is from somewhere under the front of the car. The clutch is quiet at all other times, including at idle and when you drive it properly. Any ideas what's wrong?

Thanks,

MarkSpace. Read more

Could be be the clutch plate itself or the thrust bearing, either means taking the gearbox out so I would just put up with it until something more serious happens.

Can anybody beat £3205 as the cost of selecting DAB radio as an option on a new car?

I am interested in the new BMW 5 Series Touring.... Read more

I am not in favour of DAB but the reason its so poor os because the transmitters are switched to low power until the existing frequencies are switched of(thats the official blurb).

If you have a USB port in your car you can buy a cheap plug in unit here in Germany and I am sure you can in the UK it works here extremely well I use mine in the house and it works in the car with no problems. Although the car is fitted with DAB television and radio already but it does work ok.
