• 5dr mk1 focus hatchback - Electric windows 3 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  I've seen a repair kit on ebay or you can but a new complete mechanism but its quite expensive ( not real new ford of course! ). It F/S drivers. Anyone know of a step by step of fitting these? Does the glass need to come out? can you just replace the regulator in situ? Any instructions/you tube for this ( the ones I found were not great )   Cheers guys.
• Audi A4 - Tyres (Manufacturer rated or not ?) 2 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  I was thinking of putting a nice new set of Avon ZZ5's on my A4. Having looked on P/h and reviews elsewhere they seem to be well thought of and good value for money (An important consideration these days with the costs of everything rising !!) Evo seem to rate them highly on an S4!!!
• vw polo - vw polo bnv engine failure due to tandam pump 23 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  At 50000 miles a puff of white smoke came out of the exhaust the car lost power and stopped. we were advised by vw that the engine was u/s and we had another fitted elsewhere. Vw UK have washed their hands and don,t want to know. At the very lease i expect a vw recall to service the tamdam pump and stop diesel leaking into the engine and then the engine destruction.

• Volkswagen Passat - Difficult Valuation 27 May 2012 (Forum)
  I have a pricing dilemma on my hands. I need to sell my fathers Feb 2003/03 Passat S diesel 105BHP after his recent sudden death. Normally pricing such a car would be easy, but this car is still showroom fresh with only 32K miles on it an absolutely full SH, cambelt and water pump done a couple of years ago, full MOT new battery a month ago and in generally sublime condition to an almost atomic level, 10 months tax and a near full tank of diesel.

• Ford Mondeo 1999 - Mondeo II central locking 17 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  I have just also noticed that 1 press of the remote, which should release the driver's door and boot only, also releases the o/s/r door.  I suspect I have some corrosion on a connector somewhere which is hydroscopic causing loss of power to the lock. The trouble is, I don't know where to start looking. Does anyone have any suggestions, please?

• Timeshares 7 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  We were never tempted because we put a lot of our holiday rescources into going out to the Far east to see Mrs O`s family. But at times, in years gone by we met the most intense salesmen on the Spanish coast. Someone I once knew had one and offered us a holiday one year in theirs. But they wanted  not much less than a retail holiday price and after reflecting on it overnight I declined.
• Audi A6 - Audi V6 Petrol Engines - A6 Series 2 1997-2004 9 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  Of the five larger petrol V6 engines Audi offered for the Series 2 A6 (the 2.8 litre 30-valve V6, the 2.7 litre 30 valve turbo V6 (also found in the B5 platform S4), a 4.2 litre 40-valve V8, and later, a new 3.0 litre 30-valve V6 to replace the 2.8 and an updated version of the 2.7's turbo), do any of them have reliability problems? Which one is the best value these days do you think?  Thanks, Keith
