My Fiesta 1.4 TDCi (05 plate) 58,000 miles covered is making a whooshing noise when accelerating from about 1700rpm. This has only started since all four injector seals were replaced and I noticed this noise as soon as I drove home. The garage have checked all hoses are tight but the noise is still there and I think there is a slight loss of acceleration.
Any ideas anyone?... Read more
When my wifes C3 is stood without the engine running or key turn on the back washer pump will come on every couple of minutes. I have removed the fuse for the back washer pump and you can hear a relay (maybe) click on and off which I have assumed is the course of the problem. How do a fix this? Or is it a expensive trip to a garage? Read more
my car has failed the mot - i have put some additive in - as the garage advised but now they say I must run it for 200 miles - how can I do that with no mot Read more
The magic additive/snake oil may or may not be linked to the failure cause! Difficult to tell from the information given.


must be an air leak, i would suggest they carry out a test with a leak Detector, iether an ultrasonic one or smoke generator. these find the smallest of leaks in seconds.
