My wife was involved in an incident whereby the car in front reversed back to allow a car to turn right across them, they almost caused an accident but my wife stopped in time. The other driver refused to get out of their car .My wife rightly checked both cars and confirmed there was no damage. She gave her details to the other driver but the other driver refused to give her details and drove off leaving my wife in the middle of the road. Two days later we get a communication from a claims handler representing the insured who advises that their car is a write off. Having already advised our insurance company we rang them to warn them this was a bogus claim. Our insurers (Direct line) own assessor noted that there was no damage to our vehicle and that he had already seen the other car and " the damage was totally inconsistent with he claim" he also offered the opinion that it looked as if they had drove into a post and missed the 1st time and scored the side of the vehicle and then tied again....

I'm just posting b/c I solved the problem. It's the membrane in the vapourizer - it has 1 year guarantee and it lasted a little bit over one year - mechanic knew but didn't want it to go under the guarantee. So you should definately check the install date in your car.

My wife wants to buy a used Smax. How much discount do you think a main dealer could offer off one worth about £18k (1yr old) ???

Can't you get an S-Max through Ford Direct ?
Have a look at what the car supermarkets are selling them for and go for a similar price for the dealre to supply from the Natonal Ford Direct database.

You'll probably find that a brake shoe lining has broken away from the shoe itself. It's very common on Peugeot and Citroen models. The easiest way to remove the drum is with a slide hammer, but if you don't have one you'll have to keep tapping and levering the drum until it comes off.....
I am the owner of a 1999 Vauxhall Omega. The battery is continuously going flat. I have checked that the boot light is not faulty, disconnected the radio and cd player. I have started the car & disconnected the battery terminals and even checked the alternator with a amp meter and all seems well. I can sometimes start the car with no problems & then out of the blue the battery is flat. Please could you advise me what to do as I don't want to spend too much money on such an old car Read more
Here is the detailed procedure for carrying out the tests for key-on drain or parasitic current drain. Yes it's a USA video - but it's very well explained.
