Anybody knows a good shop in Newbury that knows a Chrysler well? Read more
Hey guys,
The issue is with my mazda 6 and i refused any repairs on the car because i believe the car is dangerous. So i took my case 16 months ago to a solicitor, his immediate response was to stop paying my finance so i can dispute my case further.... Read more
This is outside my area of law but the immediate recourse is to filing a "Notice of Correction" with the 3 main credit agencies:
The addresses of the credit reference agencies are:
Equifax Plc
Credit File Advice Centre
PO Box 1140
Bradford
BD1 5US
www.equifax.co.uk
Call Credit Plc
Consumer Services Team
PO Box 491
Leeds

Experian Ltd
Customer Support Centre

Notice of correction
If there is information on your credit report that is factually incorrect, but the credit reference agency has taken no action in response to any objection lodged, or if there is information, which is correct, but where there may be background circumstances that you would like any potential lender to take into account, you can ask the credit reference agency to add a notice of correction to your credit reference file. You can also write to the Information Commissioner.
What is a notice of correction?
This is a statement of up to 200 words which you can write. It will be seen by anyone who looks at the entry on your credit reference file and should be taken into consideration if you apply for credit.
The notice should clearly and accurately explain why you think an entry on your credit reference file is wrong or misleading or requires further explanation.
If the agency thinks your notice of correction is incorrect, defamatory (affecting someone’s reputation), frivolous or scandalous, or is for any other reason unsuitable for publication, it must pass the notice to the Information Commissioner. The Commissioner will then make an order to say what notice, if any, should be added to your credit reference file.

HELLO I RECENTLY CHANGED MY FUEL FILTER AND SINCE COULD NOT START THE CAR, AFTER ATOL OF TRYS I BOUGHT A SECONDHAND PUMP HAD THE CODES REMOVED AND SWAPPED THE ECU OF THE PUMP ONTO THE CAR, AS I WAS TOLD THIS WAS THE FAULT, I ONLY HAD MY BLUE CHIP KEY AVALIBLE AND TRIED TURNING ON THE IGNITION FOR 60 SECONDS THEN OFF THEN TRIED TO START IT BUT NOTHING.
DO I NEED MY BIG CENTRAL LOCKING KEY OR WOULD THIS MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE?... Read more
Why is it that whenever a car is needed to promote a product (other than the car) in an TV/internet/newspaper advert the advertisers feel obliged to make one up, but when a van is needed they're quite happy to use a real vehicle?
Now I appreciate that there will be exceptions, but as a general rule cars are often made-up.... Read more
Actually it's not always true that they "make up" cars for breakdown ads -- I have recognised a few obscure Mitsubishis and Korean cars that have been lightly modified for use on these ads.
A motor oil company (forget which one) did this with a pair of '04 Hyundai Sonatas as well (which is the only example that I can remember the details of).
I have a Mondeo 2010 turbo diesel. It has an intermittent problem where if you stop at the lights and accelerate, it may take a second before it accelerates. This is not turbo lag. It happens more at heavy throttle than light.
It has also happened at cruise speed and attempting to accelerate results in no change to the tacho and no increase in speed.... Read more
Thanks jc2,
It looks like I have two separate faults. The brake and the throttle.
I have been looking around for a good used 95 estate and was hoping to see a number on the market by now as P/Xs with the new car being released in September. This does not seem to be the case however, with few cars showing up on searches, and those that do come up being way over the Parkers Guide prices. What is happening with this model at present? Is there a lack of cars on the market due to poor sales of the new car, or did they sell so few in 2008/9 that they are rare on the current market? What is a realistic price for the model quoted above with average mileage? What is likely to happen to prices when the new 95 estate eventually arrives?
thanks... Read more
thanks for the reply, I have had a look at the Mark Arnold site and the prices there are certainly more in line with what I was expecting having looked a Parkers guide prices. I also like the ethos he is portraying on his site, so will certainly keep an eye on his stocklist. The savings on his prices should more than offset the lack of the SAAB direct warranty, which I have found to be very comprehensive in the past., having had a clutch and other bits and pieces replaced without quibble. That was the main reason for looking at main dealers, but perhaps I have been barking up the wrong tree!
I have decided that I'm going to get a petrol 08/09 focus in the new year. After speaking with the dealership and having a look on the internet I have decided on either the 1.8 or 2.0 litre engines.... Read more
hi guys,
Im hoping you lot can help. I recently bought a escort van 1.8D on a t reg. Its pretty clean, and ive done 2k in just over 2months and she hasn't failed me yet (touchwood).... Read more
there is a black plastic pipe that runs across the front of the engine with a valve in it & these often cause problems, about £18.00 from ford.
Worth checking the valve clearances as these get overlooked and cause lumpy idle as well. Belt timing needs to be spot on to make them run smoothly
fitlike has anyone had problems with there electric wiring on the 13 pin kit . help . Read more

Hi Misterb,
DId you ever get anywhere with this one? I have had an intermittent cut out in my 59 reg Grand Voyager and have reported it to the dealer and Chrysler UK. They have carried out tests and can't reproduce the fault, therefore it doesn't exist. It is the car that my wife uses for the school run for our 5 children. I cannot accept that there is no fault as I was driving in the middle lane of the M4 at 70 mph when it cut out the second time. Luckily the power still worked so the brakes and indicators worked and I managed to get to the hard shoulder before putting it in neutral....
