Writing a term paper requires a lot of time and energy, and since I don't have time to do it, I decided to ask for help from the Do my coursework service https://essayservice.com/do-my-coursework.

The service was top-notch and the quality of the work was excellent. Read more
My Citreon Xsara is losing water and overheating. I cannot find the source of the leak it is not the rad. Lately my demisters appear to be splashing water in the inside if the wind screen. Today when i got home to my amazement there was a puddle on the passengers side of the car it had coolant in it. The car is a 2001 reg and a clean car. Has anyone got any ideas the engine is running perfect, perhaps its time to lay it to rest.

The smaller rad inside the dash IS the heater matrix I mentioned above.

Ahhhhhh, the wedge!
Hi all, this is my first post, and i am a little desperate, to be honest. My 607 seems to be letting rainwater in and it's collecting in the rear passenger footwell (under the carpet). I have checked the door seals and there is no leak there. A car glass repairer has looked at the front windscreen, and as far as he can tell there is no leak from the windscreen (he unhooked all of the trim around the windscreen and there were no signs of water ingress). Anybody got an ideas where this leak might be coming from? It's blooming annoying, as I love the car (despite its rather poor reviews)!
Any help gratefully received! Many thanks

Today I see car for sale at Lookers a well known group that sells cars. The car was aVauxhall Astra 1.4i 16V Active 5dr / 62 plate and its mileage was just over 12,000 and it was forsale for £8,291 it had just been reduced from £9,495. I filled in the online form to say I was interested in the car and a salesman rang my mobile to discuss it with me. I informed them I had a Fiat Stilo to trade in and he said it was worth £350 - £450. He then went off the phone and said he was looking at the Astra and it was a mistake by the company that the car was forsale for £8,291 and it should have been forsale for over £9000. Strange how he wanted to sell me the car before the trade in even though I had not seen it or taken it for a test drive. And when I mentioned it would be a cash transaction it all went up to a different price. Another company in my bad books that makes two so far !!! (If you wish to see the car yourselves its Reg BJ62LLT SOVEREIGN SILVER) Read more

Does anybody knows how can I swap 405 engine and transmission to the bigger engine? like 3.0 liter or bigger 3.6 .which car engine and transmission is fixabale.
To get higher performance and accelerato,I need to upgrade break system too.... Read more
If you look on the internet you will a few examples of 405s which have had the 406 3.0 V6 transplanted into it. Companies who offer the service charge many times what the finished car is worth. Furthermore the 406 V6, whilst having a lovely engine, didnt handle nearly as well as the 405, so adding that heavy engine to the front of a 405 wont make it drive better, even if it goes fast in a straight line. And yes, having swapped the engine and gearbox, you would also need uprated cooling and brakes, and suspension.
If you want a faster 405, buy an MI16, they arent slow. If you want it to go faster still, the MI16 engine can be tuned a fair bit. ...

There seem to be about 4 types, 1.6, 2, 2.2 and 3 litre engines fitted (excluding some smaller ones).
How many manufacturers are there of these 4 sizes. Do Audi, Renault/Nissan, Mercedes, BMW, Citroen/Peugeot, Fiat, Ford, Jaguar/Land Rover, VW/Seat, Honda, Chrysler, Toyota, Hyundai etc all make their own?... Read more
Hmmm- the price of progress. But you could service and and maintain the Prima with a set of normal hand tools, no fault codes, no electronics, loads of them are still going in boats, generators and water pumps-not a bad old engine that, and I've never heard of of one going t*ts up given fair treatment.
In marine mode with an aftercooler they were rated at 102 hp, so not quite so pedestrian after all.
Hi All, over the past few weeks I have noticed a "rumbling" noise after start up, esp when its been cold outside. The Revs seem to be constant, and not bumping up and down, and putting it in and out of gear doesnt make a difference. The engine is not throwing a code
A little bit of throttle does make it disappear, and once the engine is warm its a lot less apparent, although it still appears if I idle too long at roundabout etc.... Read more
So I have changed the oil, oil filter, air and pollen filters (didnt change the sparks as I need to borrow torque wrench) and the noise is certainly less obvious than it was before, however I have noticed that it is significantly louder with the window down, and seems to go away as I move the gear lever around. This is the only thing I have found that makes a difference.
Its a manual btw....
Please could someone advise me how to test glow plugs? do you get at the wireing from the top or the bottom, or do you have to remone the front grill and fan.
