Make sure you have a good amount of fuel is important and always keep with you essential thing like water, blankets, flashlights, battery charger, snack. Read more
The coalition Governement is bringing in new laws next year to fine drivers who tailgate cutting up and undertaking and other various bad driving behaviour.
Will this work and will it make our roads safer? Read more
This would be unlawful. Are you sure this isn't a 'conditional offer' approved bribe?

You may need to have that one overhauled or take your chances with the breakers.
I was ok in `94 when I rebuilt my old 1.6,was able to go to a turbo supplier and they had one on the shelf and did an exchange.Maybe there`s been a run on the 1.9`s....

Did anyone get stuck on the A2 near Dartford yesterday ? There was a humungous traffic jam due to a shed lorry-load. It took me an hour to do 4 miles to the M25 and when I got there, there was a bunchy of HA guys just having a smoke by the centeral reservation, with the road still closed and no obstruction in sight !!

Deal effectively with alleged lorry drivers who lose their loads or otherwise prove themselves totally unsuited to the job.
Hi, I have a 2003 2.0 Mondeo 130bhp TDCi (automatic). The fuel pump is dying and the mechanic reckons a new one, to fit, will cost nearly about £1200!! Will a reconditioned one work, or will that still be coded to another vehicle?
What is a reasonable price for getting this job done?... Read more
There's no coding in these pumps as far as I know. You can get a second hand one on ebay for £150.
Shouldnt be more than 2 hours labour apparently.
Hi, just occassionly my car seems to lose braking power when trying to stop but the next time of trying it's perfectly all right. Only seem's to happen once in a while. But put's the jitters up you when it happens.
Wondered if anyone had any ideas.... Read more
Also check there is no kink anywhere in the vacuum pipe to the servo.
Hi, I have a 1996 Mercedes Sprinter that I recently bought. Everything was fine for 4 days. Today I notice the fan belt is loose - maybe stretched and the steering has become very heavy. Is this because of the loose fan belt? Read more
If this is the belt that drives the power steering pump I would say undoubtedly yes.
Tapping sensation on the brake pedal sounds like a ABS problem not a fuel pump failure or have not fully understood.
