I'd like to replace my 11 year old Skoda Octavian estate (2.0 litre petrol, manual). I'd like something very similar but with automatic transmission. Most auto estates seem to be diesel. Any suggestions for a petrol estate? Buying new, budget 25k absolute max. Less than 10000 miles per year Read more

I bought a used Nissan Micra (2005) about 10 days ago from Auto Bristol ltd but the engine faulty light came on just after a week. (I couldn’t drive the car for a week after I bought it because the battery was completely dead – had to call AA twice to get the car started). Auto Bristol refered me to a garage and I went there twice (yesterday from 9.15 – 5.30pm). Each time the guy managed to make the light disappear but the light came back on again (and stay on) the minute I drove the car back. I contacted Paul from Auto Bristol again this morning but he didn’t want to know.... Read more
As to why the light is coming on it could be a simple fault or more likely the timing chain and tensioner require changing a common fault on this engine when worn...

There are no codes for PAS radios if you try to put a radio from another car you must have the ECU coded at the agents but if you just disconnect it and then reconnect it in the same car no code is required .

Oh for the days of simple seven-inch round headlamps! I've still got a pair in a box (somewhere) where by moving the bulb between two slots changed the beam pattern from left hand to right hand drive. Used them just once on a friend's Mini going to Italy.

Many people aren't happy that Obama was re-elected and are looking for ways to punish those who voted for him. Whether they're just being babies remains to be seen, but one Colorado property owner is promising an Obama-voters-rent increase. Article source: Obama voters rent hike vowed by Colorado landlord
Anybody who did not get their way in the election is upset that Obama was re-elected. Though Romney graciously admitted defeat, people are not pleased about this. It is almost like a sports game when people get really mad that their team lost, so there are a ton of hurt feelings.
However, numerous people are still very mad about it. Granted, one could point out that most of a president's obligations are to make speeches and pass laws that Congress actually creates, but this being America, that type of thing involves logic and learning, which are viewed suspiciously.
Among other backlashes, a Colorado property owner is promising an Obama-voters-rent increase, according to the Huffington Post.
High cost of rent
John Obringer in Colorado said that he will be boosting rent rates for Obama voters even though Jimmy McMillan said rent is already way too much. Obringer wrote a letter to renters explained that Obama’s plans are really hard on smaller businesses such as his and adversely impact cash flow.
He believes that renters who voted for Obama should get what they voted for, so he wants to increase their costs before everybody else. Due to the election, he will end up needing to increase costs for everybody, but renters who voted for Obama should go first, he believes.
He told renters he would be reducing office hours to two days a week and does not mention exactly how much he will be boosting rent. Tenants are not quite sure if he is serious or not because that is just his personality.
Other cases of backlash
There have been other cases of backlash from Republicans angered that Obama was put back into office. This includes a gun store in Pinetop, Arizona that printed an ad in the local paper informing citizens that they were not wanted in their store if they voted for Obama. The store, called Southwest Shooting Authority, was definitely upset about the election, according to the New York Daily News.
A Denny’s restaurant owner who was mad about the increased costs of business because of Obamacare promised a 5 percent “Obamacare surcharge” to every bill, according to Slate. Then there is the CEO of Papa John’s, John Schnatter, who said the cost of “Obamacare” will lead to an extra 11 to 14 cents being added to pizzas to cover the extra costs.

Isn't it all about a slight engine fault in a 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser Colorado?
Some mechanic called Barry O'Blimey is going to fix it or summat and the OP is asking if anyone knows what size sprocket fits 'on the spring that oils the ring that works the thing-a-me-bob.'. Maybe Gracey knows?...
Hi,
I've just bought a Peugeot 306 1.9 TDi, which is in surprisingly good condition. I drove it 80 miles to home, enjoyable, but maybe just a little lacking on grunt on hills. I guestimate it used about 2 gallons.... Read more
Using two gallons of diesel to do 80 miles I would be looking to replace the air filter element, that could also account for the lack of grunt.
Check the simple things first.
