Hi everyone, longtime reader occasional poster here.
My neighbour has a ford focus 1.5 tdci 2015 with approx 50'000 miles on it, It has started loosing brake fluid, not loads, possibly needs topping up by 100ml twice a week. There are no visable leaks from any calipers, brake hose or drums. Overnight nothing drips onto the alloys and it doesn't leave damp patched on the drive. The brakes feel fine too.... Read more

Hi everyone,
Bit of an odd one, my DS3 Blue HDI drives absolutely fine, but every month/1000 miles or so, it starts juddering. It does it at any speed in any gear and will carry on for around 10-15 mins or until I stop and start the engine. Any ideas what could be causing this or how to fix it?... Read more

If you've bought it from a trader - take it back.
I've got a 09 plate Ford fiesta. I've put on 2-3 pairs of cheap wheeltrims over the years but they always fall off. Don't want to drive around without them but don't want to keep spending money on useless products. Can anyone recommend some good, relatively cheap ones that may last? Or just generally trips for securing them well Read more
Yes, you are right on this. I needed help with my dissertation and stumbled upon https://academized.com/professional-dissertation-writers Academized's professional dissertation writers. Their prices were very reasonable, and I was worried about the quality. But when I received the dissertation, I was blown away. It was professional and thorough. For anyone needing dissertation assistance, I highly recommend this service.

Hi, I have started to notice a new faint rubbing sound on my brand new clio when braking from low speed of about 5 mph to come to a full stop. The car has done about 1600 miles so I assume the brake should be bedded in by now. It doesn’t sound like metallic which could happen if a pebble would be stuck in dust shield. Do all cars have this noise and I happen to notice it now? Can’t figure out which side it is coming from. Read more
Could be rust on the discs?
Hi,
I have a whining noise coming from the drive belt area of the car, the car has done 77k so it is due a new belt plus water pump. I have heard these are pretty easy to change on these cars, I am handy with tools so I am confident I can to this with a guide. Problem I am having is I can't seem to find any guides/videos or pictures on doing this for this car model. ... Read more
I would spray it with water when it's running and whining. If the whine stops, it's probably the belt. If it doesn't, it's possibly coming from a tired bearing of something it drives.
I paid for the car, but forgot to tax it. It was already taxed, but halfway down the motorway I realised I hadn't taxed it myself. Obviously a lot of ANPR cameras. Would the police or DVLA come after me and issue me a fine for this? Or is it ok as it is already taxed just not in my name (I know since 2017 you have to tax it at sale, but presumably to an ANPR camera it will still show as taxed).
... Read more
I think the authorities would only be interested if it wasn't continuously taxed (the police aren't interested as it's a DVLA problem). If you bought it in the middle of the month, the tax would expire immediately, but as long as you tax it before the end of the month, you'll be paying for the whole month.
