• Vauxhall Astra H CDTI 1.7 diesel - Oil filter draining back 15 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  So, oil light stays on a bit - made sure new OEM filter installed, checked the o-rings on the stalk which the filter mounts, all OK. Run from cold, light on for three or four seconds bit of rattling then runs fine. The same happens if stood for more than 5 minutes...pulled the filter to check, the container has drained back already.

• Ford Focus - 90 bhp or 110 bhp 1.6 TDCi ? 15 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  Is the 110 bhp model a step increase in drivability over the 90 bhp or is there not much in it?  The car will be used as a general family second car doing shortish runs (8 to 20 miles) with the odd longer run (200 miles). If the 90 bhp model is very nearly as good as the 110 it makes the search easier! Thanks

• Audi A4 B5 - Do I have a flat battery? 27 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  Hello, I wonder if anyone can offer me some advice? My Audi's battery is running flat after 3 or 4 days of not being used. I've checked the voltage (12.88 v) and removed the neg and am getting a zero reading when testing amps. When the engine is running I'm getting over 14 v The battery is only 16 months old and this problem was there when I bought it but I used it a lot more then so it wasn't really an issue although I keep it trickle charged during the week in case I get stranded.

• Saab 9-5 Saloon Diesel Auto 53 plate - Battery drain 14 Mar 2011 (Forum)
   Since then I have had problems starting the car.  I have used jump leads to some effect but after a short run and standing for 24 hours the car does not start.  The battery has been checked and it is apparently OK but it is draining power somewhere and I don't know where the problem lies.  Now even after a longer run it is very difficult to start even using jump leads.
