Hi, I have a year 2000 Mk2 Ford Mondeo with a brake problem.
Firstly, I have upgraded to 300mm discs that were standard on Mk3 Mondeos, and Mk3 front calipers. I know these aren't standard parts but I don't believe in any way that this is the cause of my problems.... Read more
I've got a mk2 2002 Clio 1400 16v, which won't start...it doesn't even turn over. Theres just a loud click. Theres power in the battery (reads over 12.5 volts) i also have all electrics.
Tried jump starting it, rocking it in gear push starting it etc but nothing... Read more
Have you disturbed the engine earth lead?
To test try connecting a single jump lead between the battery negative and a secure bit of metalwork on the engine.
Is my (albeit sad) observation correct that most new cars are now fitted with 4 tail lights presumably to ensure that should one bulb blow there will be at least 2 working bulbs to keep the vehicle legal after dark?
If this is the case, then I wish the same back-up could apply to headlights - FiL had to get the dealer to replace the headlights on his Scenic which involved removing the front bumper and £75 from his wallet! At least he had the good sense to have both headlights changed at once. Read more
I likw some of the Renault designs and stle but its stories like the £75 headlamp bulb renewal that keeps me from buying one. Bulbs should be easily changeable by the owner but have to admit my swmbo's V70 is a real problem with some of the tailbulbs.
b***** amazing rider. Would have certainly been a future world champion. Rode his bike to the limit and often beyond. Didn't care who he annoyed on his journey to get to the front.
Moto GP has lost one of its future stars and a character that the Stoners and Pedrosas of this world just don't understand.
I'm certainly not going to search You Tube looking for the crash; I want to remember you for the way you rode when you were alive rather that to watch you riding to your death.
RIP Marco. My thoughts are with your family and friends.

Marco was a future world champion, a thrilling rider and MotoGP won't be the same without him.
He and Rossi were good friends and Colin Edwards is an all round good guy so they will of course, be going through all the 'what if's'....
Hi guys,
I need help, I drive a 2010 Audi A3 1.4TSI (92kw - Petrol), the car is now 15 months old with 26 000km on the clock. Up to 23 000km - no issues, but then the car started to accelerate in a jerking motion, would lose power and sometime, I wouldn't even be able to get it to 120km/h on a level road. Went to Audi several times, after changing everything but the turbo, they finally resorted to do that. I had the car back for a week and everything was fine.... Read more
Hi all, Just a quick question about my 307. Just recently its been struggling to start. The best way I can describe the symptoms is it turns over a few times as normal, then "half starts" for anything up to 5 seconds then it starts. When it "half starts" the cranking picks up pace but if I release the key the engine will stop. It is a bit like there is some ignition but not enough to start the engine. Sometimes the car will start pretty much straight away as it should.... Read more
I understand that VAG changed from Pump Deuse to Common Rail systems in 2008. Then Common Rail 2 came out in 2009. Does anyone know the difference between the 2 Common Rail systems and when each was introduced? Thank you. Read more
I have an annoying rattle from the rear nearside or possibly the tailgate of my 2006 deisel Avensis hatchback. The spare wheel and jack are secure and there are no other items in the boot. I have removed all inspection covers to make sure there is nothing loose, wiper motor, lock mechanism, light clusters etc. I have even removed all the floor covering and used a flexible hose on a vacuum cleaner to clear out all the nooks and crannies I can get to. I am sure that it is not the seats as the rattle exists when I carry passengers. I can't see any adjustment to tighten the hatch door. It may be a rear seat belt reel but I can't fathom out how to get to them. My only other thought is that it may be the anti syphon device in the fuel filler pipe. It is a tinny rattle like something knocking lightly on bare metalwork. Any ideas out there? Read more
