  • Peugeot 106 diesel coolant problem 4 Oct 2004 (Forum)
    Hi my 1.4 106 (1993) diesel is losing coolant from the expansion tank. It\'s spraying out of the cap over the tank. It\'s been losing coolant through a leak in the radiator for some time. It\'s had a head skim about 60,000 miles ago, current milage is 137,000. I top up the coolant when it goes below the limit, but coolant loss has obviously sped up since it started coming out of the cap.
  • Jaguar S-type misfiring 13 Aug 2003 (Forum)
    I have been running my July 1999 Jaguar S-type 3 litre SE auto since Nov 2001, averaging under 5000 miles p.a. Most mileage is local urban driving but about once a month I have a journey in excess of 50 miles. I then find at steady speeds of 40 mph and above that the engine appears to hesitate or misfire when I begin to accelerate.
  • Laguna II \"renault card\" Coding 31 Jul 2003 (Forum)
    I\'ve got a Laguna II for which I have obtained a spare key card. I just need to \'learn\' the keycard to my car\'s security system, which presumably you can do through coding it somehow. All the renault dealers seem to be wanting to charge me for an hours labour at 30-50 quid, which given my company mitsubishi carisma can have it\'s key fob taught by me in seconds seems a bit expensive, given the card\'s already cost me £90 Is this something i can do myself as per other manafacture\'s key-fobs?

  • Triumph Speed 4's cheap 8 Aug 2004 (Forum)
    For what reason I do not know Jack Lilleys in Shepperton have a showroom full of 04 pre-reg Triumph Speed 4's for £4,250. A great price in itself but given they had at least five sitting there possibly even cheaper for those holding folding. Too small for me (6'2") but a lovely bike for those in to 'street fighter' looks.
  • UK adverts. Is BHP measured at wheel? 12 Dec 2003 (Forum)
    Plus I get confused when watching Top Gear / 5th Gear because I never know if they are talking to the wheels or to the flywheels. For example, this past weeks Top Gear they road test the new GTO and he says it?s 302 BHP. Well here in the USA it?s advertised as 350hp, but that # is to the flywheel, not the wheels. Are all the HP #s on those shows to the wheels?
