• Laguna Horror Stories 25 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  The Laguna 2's quality problems have been well documented on various forums. My question is did the 'face lift' of 2005 do anything to improve the quality and reliability of the car. I am looking at a very reasonably priced 2006 1.9dci and have in mind this particular engines history of Turbo/intercooler failing and engine distruction.

• Uneven Tickover - Nissan 2.2 CDi 6 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  I Have a 2004 Nissan Primera 2.2 dci which has done 42,000 miles, just recently on start up the tickover has become uneven. The rev counter flutters up and down, not drastically but you do feel like it`s going to stall. If you flip the accelarator once or twice it will settle down to an even tick over. Any ideas please Thanks

• Leeds - Dover tomorrow 28 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  I´m back in the UK to pick up the car this time, as Mrs Barchetta´s tour is over. Any nasty roadworks/ bits to avoid on this route? I´m in no particular rush. Ferry is ´booked´ for 1515 but I would imagine I can jump on a later one. The A1(m) is easier for me to access than the M1, so I was thinking going A1-A14, past Stansted, M25 and round that way.

• Ford Ka - gearbox or clutch problem 6 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  I have recentally (yesterday) found that my gearbox seems to have changed - It will go into a gear but it is either tough or I need to do it slowly. It seems to be the same for all changes but I am not sure what to do. The car is a S plate Ka and not very expensive and therefore dont want to pay out for repairs if not needed. Advice on what to do and potential costs would be greatly appreciated

• Mondeo Heater Fan inop pos'n 1,2,3 10 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Anybody changed the heater balance resistor/ control pack as it may be known. Suspect it's gone U/S as the fan now only works on selection 4. It's a known common fault,but just want to make sure that the improved resistor pack Ford now offer is compatable with my 1997 model in terms of wiring colouring.
