I purchased a Seat Ibiza Eocmotive with 33,000 miles on the clock back in march and I've allready added another 8,000 to it.
Due to work I will be driving around 33,000 per annum, mostly motorway, and I was just wondering, if such a question can be answered, how long should a diesel engine last?... Read more
My Focus has done 20K miles from new always serviced etc etc had the dashboard say "Engine systems failure" went into limp mode, took it to Ford Dealer who diagnosed via fault code that new throttle body was needed this was done at cost of £384 this was last friday.
went to use car to get to work today and withing 2 miles it was back same problem... Read more
If they're adamant it is a faulty new component, let them change it again for another new one, at their cost of course - then if the problem is still there, the issue lies elsewhere, logically. And I would be expecting my £384 back too, if the fault isn't resolved. Maybe try another specialist if it comes to that.
I returned to my car this afternoon and found a good old ticket from apcoa. When i arrived at the car park this morning i went to pay at the machine to find that yet again, it was not working and looks to have crashed while processing someone else's payment. I pressed cancel a fe times to no effect so had to leave as my train was in sight.
Now i have the ticket, for circumstances that i dont really feel were my fault - their ticket machines are notoriously unreliable or slow so i imagine this happens fairly often?... Read more
I have left a note on my car dashboard a few times - 'sorry, tried to buy a ticket but your machine is broken etc' and it usually works.
I drive a 1998, Mercedes C class Estate,with a 1.8 petrol engine. Could someone tell me if it is ok to run on the lower ethanol fuel (95octane,E10) that is now available?
Many thanks Read more
Here in Germany you must not use E10 fuel in any Mercedes except for the very latest models and then its suspect - standard euro 95 is quite ok.
When stationary there is a smell of petrol coming through the air vents. The car was recently serviced by main dealer and they couldn't find anything.
Typical. The fault wouldn't occur when it was in garage but a day after I got it back it's started again! When you lift the bonnet the smell is quite strong.... Read more
Thanks for the reply MADF.
It was doing it before it went into the dealer for a service and it's intermitent. That's probably why they couldn't find anything. I'll get them to look harder this time!...

Japanese is hard coded into the car. I think into the Nav DVD drive.
I presume it was imported into NZ?...
Hi all, can anyone please help. i have just brought a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder minus a few parts. Apparently a common problem with these are that the plastic casing at the front of the roof rails blow off on the motorway. Does anyone know where I can buy them from please. These are only plastic and Nissan want £45 each for these things. Does anyone know where i can buy salvage ones from or either non genuine nissan parts. If this is a common problem there must be someone out there manufacturing these pieces of plastic.
Please can you help?... Read more

The R8 was already amazing to begin with. The revisions just made it even greater. Read more
German automaker’s approach in this
makeover seems like more refreshing models than its standard mode; the most
impressive feature about R8 is its LED lighting. With its simplicity, the
redesigned model looks gorgeous.
