The wifes got an 02 plate Xsara HDi, and since we bought it about 3 months ago, there has been the most annoying wheel wobble under braking. Some times it was so violent, you would have thought the wheels were going to drop off.
Since buying it, the following have been changed:... Read more
I would hazzard a guess at worn ball joints or other worn steering or suspension parts,you would feel a oval tyre at all speeds although its a possibility the other common fault with the steering is a badly worn steering rack which would give the systems you describe probably why the last owner sold it.
Please could someone help me.

They check the brake fluid and water under the bonnet on an MOT surely, and something as glaringly obvious as a missing oil fillercap must be noticed. If its a very weak-fitting cap it could be pushed out by very, very bad blowby perhaps - unlikely though.

Ordered a pollen filter for SWMBO 2007 1.4l Getz. However I see the manual mentions TWO filters. I checked with the vendor, who confirmed I'd ordered correctly, before I read the drivers manual. So, who is right? Read more

Where we live I have noticed over the last few years more and more people taking their work vans home and hindering a lot of people with their inconsiderate parking antics.At the moment a van is parked near where we live partly blocking the foot path with a flat tyre for a few weeks now.I wonder if these people have a certain mindset stuff every body I do what I like.Problaby they have thats why they are agressive till they meet somebody who is bigger than them unfortenately.
A friend of mine owns a Volvo V70. There is a bad smell coming from the vent. The cabin filter was changed. What else might be making the interior smelling, and can the air conditioning be to blame for this at all?

Most probably a block drain in the condensor AC or just mouldy. There are treatments available. Post on www.Volvoclub.org.uk in the appropriate section. Regards Peter

If there are no codes it is often due to a faulty MAF sensor, which is the air flow sensor in the trunking, usually close to the air filter but don't know about the Galaxy.

Hi
I would like some advice on purchasing a silver Golf 1.6 SE FSi. Has done about 40K miles and the bodywork is in very good condition. The asking price is £5k which I think is prob about right for the car and condition although I am going to offer £4500.
