• Toyota Yaris - 2015 Toyota Yaris Upgrade Headlight Bulbs 24 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  I was thinking of getting OSRAM cool blue intense (fully road legal) I believe that the fitting is H4 but i've heard that this is not the case because this car has projection headlights and no upgrade bulbs are available? The car also has LED daytime running lights built into the headlight unit as standard. Help appreciated thanks.

  Hi there I see there a few threads stating the problems people are having wih the eac fail in the duratec engined ford fiesta. I replaced the MAF sensor, with no difference.

• Ford Galaxy 2.0TDI 2010 - Galaxy 2010 - ECU problems caused by speedo? 27 May 2015 (Forum)
  Had engine malfunction warning popping up for a month or two now. No other effects - car running fine. Got round to getting the codes read. Lots of spurious ones apparently. 29. Things like brake light bulb and ABS - nothing wrong with either. MEchanic says known problem with speedo and ECU.
• BMW 3 Series - Cracked Alloys 28 Apr 2015 (Forum)
  Just been told one of my Alloys is cracked, BMW did a run out test (0.7mm) and no visual impact damage. Have been told as it is not the style (225) that had a problem with cracking they won't have anything to do with it. My wheels are the 19" 313 style and only done 24000 miles I am surprised by BMW's it's your problem not ours attitude.
• Fiat Panda 1.1 (2004) - Warning lights staying on 14 Apr 2015 (Forum)
  I am not losing oil - I've just done my usual daily 40 mile commute -  and the engine seems to be running at normal temperature. Though there is a slight smell of oil. Should I be concerned?
• Renault Scenic (2003 - 2009) - 2004 1.9dci - Sounds like tractor and poor MPG 24 Mar 2015 (Forum)
  My 2004 1.9 DCI has started to sound like tractor when first started in the morning also has started to have poor MPG. Have changed Oil&Filter and air filter at regular intervals. Once warmed up it runs fine for the day, but strugles to do 40mpg when it used to average 50ish. Help would be much appreciated.
• Peugeot 308 - Noise coming from engine bay (with youtube movie) 10 Mar 2015 (Forum)
  Hi all, I have realized a strange noise coming from the engine bay. This happens only when I run the car in the morning, so let say when it is cold. I don't hear it during the rest of the day. What would you say? It's 2010 model 1.6 HDI 90 hp. Here is the video for the noise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?
• Nissan Primera 1997 gearbox 7 Mar 2015 (Forum)
  The gearbox is now getting stiff to engage 2nd gear when the car has been standing for some time (e.g. overnight) but is much better after a few miles run. It is time for a new gearbox or is there another solution? The problem seems to have slowly become worse over the last three months. Engaging 3rd, 4th and 5th is OK at any time. Any suggestions of who might be able to fix it?
• Peugeot 407 - Power Steering Leak 25 Feb 2015 (Forum)
  I had tried to 'bleed it' as suggested on another thread by overfilling, turning to almost full lock, running engine etc and then test drive. This didn't solve anything as it is still gushing out the top of the cap. All thoughts, advice welcome!
• SEAT Altea - high miles service history 1 Jan 2015 (Forum)
  But it has done 102k miles on a 09/58 plate, that wouldn't be a problem if it had FSH, but it only has 2 stamps. I'm concerned that this might be a problem for the turbo, even though it's VW running gear which suggests its pretty robust. Any advice is appreciated, anything else I should look for on it?   Thanks
• VW golf tdi 1.9 1999 - Help identify this part please. 11 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  Hello, Could some body help identify the solenoid looking part in the centre of this picture please.. its making a loud ticking noise which you can feel if you hold your finger on it. The car also runs very flat up hills and the turbo appears to not always boost on a flat road and never up a hill. Any replys will be much appreciated Thanks, Steve http://postimg.org/image/ddc5vs577/

• vw golf 1.6 diesel - dpf 12 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  Hi, my daughter is thinking of buying a vw golf diesel. But her journeys are mostly about 12-15 miles each way. I know everyone says you need a long run to keep the dpf clean but is it a long journey or the engine temperature that determines if a dpf is kept clean. She does these trips in rush hour and normally takes about 45 mins, i wondered if this would be enough to warrant a diesel or stay with a petrol.
• BMW 3 Series E90 - Tyre noise 13 Oct 2014 (Forum)
  I have a 318i Sport Plus fitted with run flat tyres on 18inch wheels. The tyres have always been fairly noisy, rather as expected but have lasted well ( 31K miles). More recently I have noticed a pronounced drone on smoooth roads between 40-50mph.

• Renault Modus 1.5 dCi 2009 - Dashboard Vibration on Diesel 15 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  This vehicle runs well and has only done 24,000 miles.   It has developed a bad vibration, transmitted from the engine, on the left half of the dashboard, noticeable at city driving speeds.   Curiously, dropping down the glove box cover lessens the noise!
• fiat Cabriolet - Convertible top 25 Jul 2014 (Forum)
  The top stopped working the other day and my guess is low fluid in the Hydraulics. Neither Fiat Greece or punto Forums can help me. Anyone got an idea as to what fluid it is? I've run across A T F- Brake fluid and Power Steering. Obviously want to get it right first time to top up with out problems.    Thanks  Peter
• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol - Exhaust Back Box 6 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  Shoving a stick up the pipe and stirring it round it sounds like a bucket of nails. Would this be the cause of the popping back and slightly rough running? It's due in for replacement on Wednesday along with the MoT, it's perfectly driveable though slightly irritating. Temperature reading as normal. Safe to continue using without secondary damage?
