• Peugeot 406 (1999 - 2004) - 2003 Hdi estate - changing rear discs 25 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  I want to change the rear discs on my 406 HDi 110 S Estate (2003). I've heard that the handbrake is a different entity to the normal brakes. My question is: is it a straight forward job or can I expect surprises, ie. special tool required or anything else like that.

• Mot - can you still get 13 months MOT 8 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  It used to be the case that if you took your car in for an MOT a month early and you took the old MOT with you, the testing station could issue you with potentally 13 months of MOT. Is this still the case with computerised MOT`s. Also would the same apply for a car which is 35 months old taken for an MOT. Would it also get 13 months MOT?

• Vauxhall Cavalier (1988 - 1995) - stiff electric windows. 21 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  Do I need to lubricate anything to make the electric windows go up and down easier? They are sluggish at certain spots, and the n/s/f creaks when partly wound down. I'd rather not take the doors apart if at all possible! I notice that pulling up on the windows by hand when closing them helps them a bit! If they need something, what, & where to get it?

• 87 Polo 1.3 - Headlights blow wiper fuse 15 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Hi all, I have a 20 year old VW polo 1300 coupe S, it's a good runner but recently every time I turn the headlights on it blows the fuse for the windscreen wipers. Could it be any number of things or is it likely to be something fairly straight forward?

• Audi A3 seat problems 5 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  I've got an S-reg Audi A3 1.8T 3dr, and having put the driver's seat forward one day, it won't go back into place again. The rear of the seat clicks upright, but the entire seat rises up (as when you try to put it forward), and won't stay down.
• Mondeo gearbox oil changing 28 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  I have an 'S' reg diesel manual estate that has done 120000 miles now so feel a change of oil is due. Am I right in thinking that the box is refilled through the level plug on the front face of the 'box? Can see no other way.
• Auction find 24 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  In the room with next weeks junk, sitting in all their glory, were two beautiful immaculate old Daimlers, I think from the 50's, plus one outside in the yard. All are according to the staff, in full working order .They are, sadly, being sold by an executor. Usually if they have a car or van it is from a bankruptcy and go for peanuts - wonder what will happen to these beauties.
