I have a 2001 1.9tdi Passat and the adaptor which goes between the hydraulic pipe and the slave cylinder of the clutch had broken. VW say part is no longer made. Does anyone know where I might find one, or a solution using different slave maybe? Read more

Not from the satin black car I saw in the supermarket tcar park today!
The penalties for drink/drug driving also causing death by driving are now so lenient for some that they take the risk. A driving licence should be classed as a real privilege and a lot of stupid things some drivers do should result in a lifetime ban from driving or riding any powered vehicle, for others sentences and fines should be greatly increased with no exceptions for females and females with kids.

Drink drive limits reduced in Scotland in 2014 - made no difference as the dedicated drinkers just ignore any limits.
The only real effects were more country pubs closed along with golf club & bowling clubs.
Even a pint after a round/game became too risky for the law abiding drivers.

Buy a coil removal tool . Plenty on e-bay. Do not use a hot air gun ,this may damage the electronics inside the coil tower.
Hello Chaps.
Been away for a long break. Back now and also managed to buy a lovely low mileage Hyundai i20 1.2 petrol. A nice late 2018 example and we are very happy with it. Unfortunately it came with an inflator kit and I am not a fan of those. There is room for a full size spare wheel with tyre. Any of you chaps ever bought spare wheels etc and from whom? Any suggestions and recommendations would be welcome. Forgot to say during my break I moved back to North Yorkshire so if I need to collect it then a 25 mile radius of Stokesley would be fine. There is one on Ebay for a Hyundai Getz with same wheel size and tyre profile but is it interchangeable with an i20? I know someone out there will probably have been through this previously....

I have a new Hyundai Tucson self-charging hybrid arriving in 10 days and need to buy some car mats for it. The local dealer (not where I'm getting the vehicle from) are charging £80 for them. Caraccessoriesplus.co.uk have them for £63 but wondered if anyone can recommend a good place to get some from?
I'd rather genuine ones I think so I know they fit properly Read more
I bought a set of mats from Carmats4u over four years ago. They look good and have lasted quite well, with only slight wear on the driver's mat.
But one of the stud fixings was wrongly positioned on each front mat. It doesn't matter too much, as the other stud keeps the mats in position, but design terms they got it wrong.

Hi
Car has 65k miles, regular service, no previous issues. Wouldn't start this evening and wife thinks she saw a TSR message on dash but disappeared. No EML on. I read codes and P0341 camshaft sensor Bank A was present. Any thoughts if this is likely to be a sensor failure needing a swap out or is it indicative of something else. Removed the connector to sensor and no evidence of oil or corrosion etc. Appreciate any advice.... Read more
Just to update you the chain is broken and valves bent - worst case scenario. Struggling to understand why as serviced yearly with oil and filter etc. No previous warning noises etc.
Can anyone help me?

Agree,
The way the US, UK, EU, etc have printed fake money , inflation will be here for a while.
Good time to lock yourself into a cheap car PCP and/or 5 - 10 year mortgage deal before it’s too late.

If you can take a photo of the part then one of the on-line breakers should at least be able to tell you what the actual part is called. I've used VW Audi Breakers Melksham years ago who were very helpful, I'm not sure if they are still trading but might be worth investigating.
