Can I access the inside of the headlight lens for cleaning, or are they
sealed units ? Read more
They are not sealed units,but access to the rear of the lens is very limited.It would be a good idea to remove the lamps off the car to make the job easier,but this requires removal of the bumper.

In their most dynamic move for years, the UK’s biggest sellers of diesel engines came together today - via their uniting body, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) - in a bid to stop the recent demonisation of diesel engines.... Read more

Very good website: My nail of a Jeep died today!! so, I'd like some advice please, I do about 11k miles a year, generally tootling about..7k journeys.., My wife does 1 day a week commute of 60miles, i need something good in snow and mud, reliable, can tow a trailer with a couple of sheep in. and have about £3000 to spend any ideas everyone? I'm no mechanic for sure, afraid private buyers are chucking their cars in cos they're about to go wrong, and didn't have a good experience with a garage...bit stuck really... any advice would be great,,I live in the sticks so not much about locally..(Ludlow) thanks guys
Read moreLast October i bought a 2.0 na Forester 52 plate with 99000m on it for £1400. So far it seems ok. Bought it for mucking about in, marshalling at rallies, carrying a mucky dog in and actually find me using it for work and occasional long trips. Strangely I kind of like it. Calculated brim to brim with AT tyres I am getting 29.5 MPG.
i thought I had paid a bit much but it was local so I didnt have to trail round viewing loads.
My exhaust started smoking, stopped driving, towed car to mechanics for assessment , result is that the car had a design fault, sumpstrainer blocked causing total engine failure. The car was in mechanics in January for service. This could not have been predicted. What are my consumer rights. The garage do not want to know , stating the guarantee is expired. However, we did nothing wrong. The garage offered 4,000 for car, and suggested we buy another car over a five year repayment package. I am not interested. My car would have been fully paid for next march 2016, stilling paying for a car that I no longer can drive. Car milege 79,ooo kilometers. How would i find out if other owners, particularly in Ireland, experienced this problem. I would also like to point out , if my car was in excellent running order, I could have sold for 16,450euros. Is it your opinion to engage an independent assessor , costing me 450 plus vat to write out report to ensure my case is stronger. I will also have to get car towed to Madza mechanics to allow them to look at this car , more costs. I have not sought legal advice yet. I would be grateful if you could advise me. regards, bernadette. Read more
Skidpan extended warranties are insurance policies.
I fully appreciate that aftermarket warranties but in truth manufacturers extended warranties don't work like that....
I was driving along and my car started to loose power and then the depollution failure message came on. I continued to drive the car to see if would fix itself but it didnt. It is now very hard to start, the diesal top end is very noisy and the car wont idle - any suggestions Read more
Its a generic warning that can cover literally dozens of situations, from a failing CAT, DPF issues to something as simple as bad fuel or a blocked fuel filter.
Google "Peugeot Planet Map" to find locations of fellow Pug owners with the Lexia diagnostic equipment. Will be cheaper than a garage or dealer.
