I have recently replaced the pump to the washer bottle on my Kia Sorento as well as checked all electrical connections.

The wipers work fine, but Im still getting no water onto the screen from the washer.... Read more

Since you say you cannot hear the motor running, are you sure there is current getting to the motor? Check the fuses first, then borrow a meter or connect a 12v bulb across the two wires to the pump, if the bulb lights when you operate the washers then you have power.

If all lorries are restricted to the same maximum speed then there's no need to overtake. They should all be in lane 1 leaving the rest of us to have enough space to get on.

But they aren't - some companies voluntarily fit limiters set to less than 90kph (56mph), eg 80 kph (50 mph) in order to save fuel - and remember, speed limits are not a target, they're a maximum.

Currently run a citroen picasso desire 1.6 diesel, looking to replace and have choice of new C3 or low mileage C4, any comments? Read more

C4 is a better hatchback than a C3 and there are some good pre-reg deals on both of them around.

I your talking about the MPV, go for the berlingo multispace if you need loads and loads of space and good durability....

Hello i am new here and am not very good with computors and spelling so please excuse me. My problem is this... i brought a vectra c 1.8sri petrol over a year ago now and i always thought it was way to flat in the way of engine performance, i couldnt find any problems until yesterday when i decided to plug my scan tool into it and moniter the tp%, i couldnt seem to get it past 62%, i tried to load the engine thinking it might only be designed to give 100% in the taller gears? there are no fault codes...this would explain the flattness of the engine. IS this normal? is it a symptom of something else maybe like to much pressure in the cat?surely it would have a code, my s.t.f.t was -2.3% which is exceptable i was always thinking.....hhhm. Any help or ideas would b so much appreaciated... i would love to think i had another 40%throttle... brilliant..thanks people.. Read more

Wow 140 PS per litre in a domestic hatchback - that is going to hurt sooner or later, with much higher insurance premiums, repair bills, breakdowns, burnt out turbo charger bearings etc ! Let us really hope that the excellent Ford Design Engineers demands to 'do it all properly' was NOT 'over ruled' for reasons of cost by the Ford Managers !

Hi, just past the mot yesterday everything ok, but tester said the headlights are starting to fog over slightly, he mentioned that you could polish them up using toothpaste or similar to take the haze off. Never heard of this before. just wondered if anyone has tried it. Thanks. Sparky100. Read more
