95 escort 1.8td smoke problem 7 Mar 2003 (Forum)
This has probably been asked before but here goes, problem is when I start my car for the first time (morning) it runs great no smoke when driving throttle response is very good but when the engine gets to full operating temp I notice the throttle response is not as good and it starts to blow black smoke out on acceleration. I've checked the usual(air filter) and replaced but I am puzzled why it would drive great when cold and decline when hot. -

Other-driver uncomfortableness 2 Mar 2002 (Forum)
It's running fine, no apparent problem, but ... This same phenomena occurs every time anybody else drives my car - be it brother, sister, mother, father, workmate, mechanic etc Despite often NOT having to adjust the seat/mirrors/steering wheel/etc, it just doesn't feel *right* ... In between, I don't drive another car, so it isn't that ... -

AUDI A4 2008 2.0 TFSI - PETROL - Broken engine valve 23 Jan 2023 (Forum)
Went to a garage nearby in SW London and the mechanic told me that it has a broken valve inside the engine and the repair will easily cost over £1000 because it's a big job. The oil pressure light was coming up on the dashboard while I was driving so after a couple of checks and repairs he finally found out that the engine misfires and the broken valve is the cause. If I drive the car for more than 20-30 min the oil pressure and engine lights will come up again. -
Renault Kadjar - Faulty Car 6 Apr 2021 (Forum)
I need to use this car due to back problems (our alternative is a lower vehicle which makes my back seize after long drives). Where do I stand in this situation? I had been unable to argue in relation to CRA or suchlike as I was told there had been no issue? - Is this now something I can comment on as I get anxious any time I need to drive the vehicle either in busy towns and cities or during rush hour. -
Honda Civic - Acceleration issue 26 Nov 2019 (Forum)
Engine runs perfect on idle position and there is no fault codes. The issue comes when I am driving and I change gears. After I release the clutch pedal and the gear is engaged, acceleration is intermittent and comes "in waves" for the first 2 seconds. Is like engine need need time to accommodate with the new gear until it stabilises and then acceleration and driving is nice and smooth until I change gear again. -
Hyundai i30 2012 new shape. - Power steering 15 Nov 2018 (Forum)
This results in overcorrecting and again this has to be corrected in the opposite direction to get back on line. This results in a zig-zag form of driving, uncomfortable to passengers etc. and disconcerting to the driver. I have been driving for 40 odd years, cars and vans of all sizes and makes, never had this before. Any one else experienced this with the new shape i30 ?. -
Hyundai Tucson 1.6 GDi Blue Drive SE Nav 5dr 2WD - Negotiating a discount on a used Hyundai Tucson 23 May 2018 (Forum)
Hello, I'm about to buy my first car and I'm completely clueless when it comes to the whole used car buying process! I quite like the Hyundai Tucson 1.6 GDi Blue Drive SE Nav 5dr 2WD (petrol, manual), 2017 model. I've seen some advertised for approx £17,300 with 7,000-10,000 miles, reversing camera and heated front seats etc. Example in link below. I'm just wondering what price I should aim to strike a hard bargain on? -
Audi a4 - Dvla fitness to drive 15 May 2018 (Forum)
Hi. I have just received a letter from DVLA requesting I fill in the fitness to drive from. The form itself is all to do with seizures ect. I don't suffer any? It's very hard to fill in. It was a third party (my ex ) as he has been arrested for malicious and harassing communications ect.
