  • Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - 97 1.25 Vibration at speed/when braking 8 Jul 2009 (Forum)
    Also there is no vibration from the steering during cornering at any speed. However at low speeds there is a regular noise coming from the driver?s side front wheel that gets faster as speed increases. It?s like a short scraping/clicking. I?ve had the wheel off and seems to me like the brakes are binding a little when I spin the disc. There?s no play in the inner and outer cv joints.
  • Shark tooth flint attacks tyre + horse hoof Quiz 29 Jun 2009 (Forum)
    I remember advice from years gone by to check tyres for `flints`. We were prepared as boys in the 50`s I suppose - carrying around a pen knife with one of those thick long prongs attached in case a horse got a stone caught in it`s hoof. What innocent days. Think what could be interpreted if you were caught on the street or entering a well known accessory store with a long prong in your pocket like that..
  • Repair of Winter roads 27 Feb 2009 (Forum)
    I guess due to the combination of snow, ice and salt, small potholes and cracks now resemble craters on the moon, and when it?s rained there?s no telling whether they are an inch deep or a foot deep. There are sections of road where it is only really safe to drive along at either a snails pace or to pass the potholes on the other side of the road.
  • Car stereo recommendation please 15 Jun 2007 (Forum)
    Hi, I have a Ford S-Max and I want to have Ipod compatibility and the ability to play MP3's that I have burned on to a CD. When I say Ipod compatibility, ideally I am looking for a replacement HU that has a cable coming from the BACK of the head unit so that I can hide all the cables to the Ipod.

  • B Max powershift 20 Feb 2017 (Forum)
    Having been enlightened by a previous post I have continued to look at B-Max s.  I have already learned that my motoring requiries petrol.  A significant number of B-Max s are powershift.

  • Porsche - 911 GT2 - Computer versus reality. 19 Nov 2009 (Forum)
    Just watched an excellent "challenge" on C5's Gadget Show. Show presenter racing against Johnny Herbert on Silverstone - the difference being that Herbert is on the actual track and the presenter using a computer simulator (priced for the "home" market) well worth a watch on C5's website - I won't let on the winner.
