  Could it be the immobiliser cutting something else out that I haven't checked? If so how can I check? Any help appreciated. s

  have a 1999 Nissan Terrano 2 2.7 turbo diesel with an unusual problem - lately I have had trouble starting it when its hot, sometimes it wont start at all - leave it 20 mins or so and eventually it will fire up. starts normally from cold in a morning and once started it runs perfectly. just wondered if anyone had experienced anything similar or has any idea of what could be wrong. Thanx Nige. s

  The clutch pedal needs to be planted very firmly on the floor otherwise gear selection is nearly impossible. Does anyone know if the clutch can be adjusted on this model? Thanks, Mark s

• Ford C-MAX (2003 - 2010) - Vredestein tyres, recommended? 7 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  It's only done 14,500 miles, but that's a different issue... I rang a local tyre supplier, and asked about Conti premium contact 2's, as they've been recommended on here. The supplier said the contis were good, but Vredestein were better and cheaper. I'd never heard of the make before, but they're high rated by a leading car magazine.

• Mk4 Astra Drumming noise 22 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  The tyres are budget (made in Poland) and are at the recommended 32psi front and 28 rear. The rear n/s wheel bearing has been replaced to no effect. Could it be the CVT joints? Tyres? or even the non-standard plastic wheel covers? All thoughts welcome Regards Brian
• When is a fake not a fake? 20 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  tool room copy?? apparently. There are a lot of expensive Bugattis, Maseratis and Jaguars created in the 1980?s on the market. Seemingly accepted by the FIA and VSCC as being eligible for competition. We had a 1929 Bugatti Type 35 entered on our historic vehicle club run this year. It said Bugatti on the badges and the tax disc BUT a local expert was able to tell us, too late to refuse it, that it was built recently by an Argentine company ?
• Pug 106 Uneven Tickover 3 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Hi My 1998 1.4 petrol (distributorless ignition and injection) 106's head gasket went a while ago. Had the head skimmed and new gasket. Also replaced Lambda sensor, plugs and HT leads. Am now experiencing an uneven tickover, seems worse when engine is hot and I sometimes think it misses a little at slow speeds around town.

  Hi, I recently bought a 1998 996 Tiptronic S and sadly yesterday the ignition barrel has collapsed with they key remaining stuck inside. I tried several locksimths and then an idependent dealer who all pointed me in the direction of the main dealers.
• Mk3 Mondeo Steering - bulkhead cover 19 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  If anyone has a similar model can you confirm if there should be a black rubber cover over the steering column? Just look under the dash and you'll see what I mean. Thanks in Advance S.
• New Mini Clubman 15 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  But this new version, only one rear passenger door and the two van-like doors at the rear? Surely the new Mini appeals to the type of buyer whao aspires to have a Cooper S or similar, not to someone who would want the practicality of two swing doors? Or will BMW produce this in limited numbers to try and make it a cult classic?
• A good laugh on e-Bay! 19 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  And I may live in a house the same size as the ass you?re sat upon. No, only joking. The house isn?t that big. But it?s been fun trading national stereotypes with you."
• MINI (2005) - strange knocking noise 8 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Our 2005 MINI Cooper S has developed a strange knocking noise. It happens when you touch the accelerator pedal or ease off in a low gear. There is just one 'knock' noise, almost as if something is rolling around in the boot (which it isn't!!).
• 406 HDI clutch? judder 10 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  I'm assuming that this is probably worn engine mounts rather than the clutch. Is there any one in particular that is prone to wear. Is this a common problem with 406's. How difficult are they to replace? As far as I know the car has done mainly motorway miles so I thought the clutch should be OK.
• Fulda Carat Extremo - anyone have them? 30 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  78.20 delivered a corner - 49% off their RRP. Does anyone (tyreexpert....) have any experiences of this brand/model, as it´s not one I´ve used before. I´m particularly interested in its wear rate, as the vRS is a bit of a tyre muncher. Size is 205/45 R16 83W. Thanks in advance, Barchettaman
• Wiring in door open switches Escort 97. 10 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Hi it?s always bugged me a little that Ford were so cheap that they didn?t bother putting door open switches on the back doors. I noticed that these switches seem pretty easily available for a few quid and wondered how easy it is to wire them in?
• Foreign car and headlights 21 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Hi All, I'm an expat Brit who will be driving back to Blighty in a month or 3. I would fly, but driving is more attractive just now, and I can fit more Tesco and M&S goodies in the car then in hold baggage... :-) Anyway, I digress... In the UK, are beam deflectors compulsory or recommended for left hand drive vehicles? I ask because it's not compulsory in all EU countries.
• Mondeo 04 TDCI oil filter 20 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Hello Can anyone tell me where the oil filter is located on the 130 TDCI mondeo. 04 plate zetec S. Having bought the oil and filter from Halfords I am at a complete loss. It isnt on ramps yet so I may yet find it but the weird thing is that the oil filter is an open paper thing looking much like an SU air filter although about 3" across.
