A customer brought in a Shogun with no drive six months ago. I renewed the dmf and clutch with genuine oe parts. It went away fine but returned two months later showing signs of iminent dmf failure. I replaced it all again and thinking that the parts must have been at fault.

Another two months down the line and the same thing is happening. I can get no joy out of Mitsubushi who tell me that they have never had problems with Shogun dmf's.... Read more

Hi,

I've just bought a 2006 Mondeo TDCi 130 and I'm interested to know which is the best Engine Diagnostic Reader to buy ? I asked an eBay seller about the F-Super but s/he said that it wouldn't clear the service required indicator. That is obviously a key facility so can anyone tell me which is the best EDR to buy for my car ?... Read more

I receied a Enforcement Notice from APCOA giving me the opportunity to pay a fine for stopping/dropping off in a non drop off area. I wrote to APCOA informing them I was not the driver at the time and gave the address of the driver. They have now written back to me telling me that although you were not the driver on the day of the Notice was issued as the vehicle is under your name therefore you are liable to make payment. is this correct? I dont see why I should make the payment on behalf of someone else and feel it is not my responsibility to chase payment for reimbursement if I pay it! What does the law state on this matter ..... clues please Read more

i am in the motor trade which is a family business and i am a named driver on my Dads motor trade insurance policy for motor trade purpose

i am in Essex and was driving a car which my dad was the owner and was stopped by a motorcycle police officer (i believe this was because the car showed as uninsured as it had not been entered on the MID register as he had bought the car less than 14 days prior and had not done this yet)

after the officer done his checks i was informed that my license had been revoked by the DVLA in 2009! this knocked me for six as i had no idea

he arrested me for no insurance and driving license and told me that the car would be seized, i explained to him that i had no idea of this and who i was and i was not someone abusing the law but he said he did not believe me and accused me of various things and basically was a total b******, i asked if my dad could come straight away and collect the car but he told me that the essex police policy was to seize and that was that,

i have never received any letters from the dvla about my license, when i phoned them the next day they said they would have sent 3 letters out and they may have been lost in the post...lol.

i posted my license back to dvla and after 9 days they inform me i have a clean license and i can drive again

i am now waiting for my court summons

I thinking of buying an smax , been to look at a 1.8 tdci zetec today. The idle seemed to be quite lumpy (hunting) -but not eratic- and noisy but seemed fine when revved.I expect it to be a little noisy as its done 118000 miles. the test drive was great with engine quite responsive and powerful compared to my old 2.3 petrol galaxy... Does this engine have a timing belt and could this be the problem Read more
