  I was stuck on the North Circular-London-for 2.5 hours the other day, I also use the Blackwall Tunnel, with all it's problems. Why oh! why do people leave the headlights, fog lights and brake lights on when stationary? Has anyone done the math as to how much fuel is being used by 240 watts of lighting?

• New Polo problems 6 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  I bought the new model Polo last December. Has anyone had problems with either squeeky brakes or water ingress/leakage into the hatch (if leakage, may be from rear wash-wipe). I'll get them done under warranty - but I'm just interested to know if others have experienced this. Best wishes, frmarcus

ThankYew Diz
• Rover 'knocking' noise 22 May 2003 (Forum)
  I haven't driven my car for a while (Rover 220sdi) and after jacking up the car and checking the front brakes, following a post yesterday, I took it for a spin. As soon as I pulled away there was a loud knocking noise coming from the rear of the car - this lasted a while but has now dissapeared. Any ideas what it was?
• Front discs 13 Dec 2002 (Forum)
  They were only two years old and I have done 15,000 miles on them. Perhaps I don't use the car enough or brake hard enough? Thanks.
• Jeep Recalls 2 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  Anyone see/hear this article on the news this lunchtime? I just caught the end of it. Looked like problems with brake hubs shearing. Trouble is I couldn't make out whether it was just Cherokees or Grand Cherokees as well. Either way I'd better book my next service early if the garage is going to be busy with recall work!
• Shock absorber replacement 16 May 2002 (Forum)
  My MK2 Golf GTI has failed MOT due to failure of near side front shock absorber (as well as near side rear brake caliper). Are shock absorbers best replaced in pairs, or would one be OK ? Oh, and the exhaust is knackered as well so it's gonna be pricey. Matthew Kelly No, not that one.
• New Punto bulb replacement 11 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  Can any one advise me how to access the rear of the nearside light cluster to change a brake light bulb on the 5 door New Punto?. I can find one release nut at the top, but not one lower down. (On the offside I can find two nuts) Thanks John
• powetrain components 11 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  just a quick question: has anyone used powertrain brake discs, and if so, are they good, bad, or indifferent? is it worth paying slighty extra for a lucas disc? also mintex pads or powertain pads? it seems that several nationwide motor factors (partco, brown brothers, etc) sell them...

• Ford Focus TDCI Mark 2 - Ford Focus Steering wheel vibration 22 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  I know it goes on a bit but please bear with me. Back in March 2008 it got to the point where the when braking there was a lot of noise from the back indicating that they were on their way out. Went to local kwikfit and got a deal for four new brake pads and discs . All good until started driving it after and was getting lots of noise and vibration from front which would stop if you touched the brakes.
• Floods. 7 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  I have two land Rovers at present, one is ex-farm and 40yrs old the other 20yrs old and ex-off road enthusiast owned. Just doing the wheel bearings and brakes on both. The off-road trialling one is absolutely wrecked in every respect when you look at the drivetrain and brakes, far too much time spent in deep muddy water. The farm track one thought is excellent because they were relying on it so they never went looking for trouble.
