• Cyclists Not Exempt 11 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  Bit in today's Telegraph quoting Harriet Harman, the Solicitor General, saying that 700 cyclists were prosecuted last year, 600 convicted and 500 fined. She said "The C P S is well aware that the law applies to cyclists in the same way that it applies to everybody else". Oh, goody!.

• 2004 Audi A6 Avant 1.9 - Various Issues on PD130 engine 23 Apr 2023 (Forum)
  Over the last few months I have noticed excess smoke from the exhaust and a large drop in MPG, especially so when doing anything other than tickling the accelerator. Oddly, when on cruise control at 70 on the motorway, the mpg will sometimes drop into the late 20's, then randomly back into the early 50's. There is also white smoke on tickover from the exhaust and a strong smell of diesel. I've been led to beleive this is most likely worn injectors but what are people's thoughts on this?

• Rover 214 Accelerator stuck on 3 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  Not a great car by any stretch of the imagination but we have had no problems whatsoever since we purchased it 2nd in 2001 (car is a T reg. ?99 plate). As it?s devalued so much we see very little point in selling it until it?s totally broken! Anyway? recently it has developed a minor fault in that the accelerator gets stuck on when idling. Instead of being around the 800rpm mark it occasionally sits there at 2000rpm.
• Ford Focus Estate - '09 Focus with Blaupunkt Travel Pilot fx Head unit 9 Sep 2013 (Forum)
  I have trawled the web for a few hours but no luck so far and randomly slotting the stripped cable in to vacant slots doesn't seem like a good idea :-o Sure you would all agree?????? PS I can't get the plug(s) out of the rear of the stereo either, it has a kind of 'u' shaped locking arm but even after this is opened the little b*****s still won't come away. I had hoped that pulling them out would make it obvious as to where this wire should be fixed to for connecting to the unit.

  Of course I`m more careful after that - and suck it out of the dipstick tube with the sucker if it`s a matchstick width over the top of the hatching. other news. I posted a link to a utube song `The Vicar Of Bray` this morning but it got deleted for breaching site policy. Sorry about that - if anyone got the chance to see it.
