• Tyre sidewall damage - repairable? 16 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  Last week during servicing, dealer told me one of my tyres (front n/s) got a nail in tyres sidewall which was unrepairable [and I changed all tyres just 3 months back!] Since I had a full size spare wheel, I asked them to fit that as a replacement. Now my question is, can I

• What motorway MPG for Transit sized van? 16 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  at 70/75MPH. The goods won't be heavy, just bulky. I'm hopeful of 30-35MPG based on the fact my old S-Max would get 45-48MPG at those speeds. Thanks

  , £ 3-80 each was higher than I though it would be. > The driver(s) seemed to be a surly type, barely a nod as you pay etc. > The bus was very jerky, both stopping & starting, though this could be the driver. > The driver appeared to corner as fast as possible. > Your fellow passengers include drunks

  issued a press release confirming along with the ABI that cover on their affected vehicles would not be affected. Does this set a precident and can we assume all cars from all makers subject to recall will not have their cover affected. The subject is being raised as a result of Mrs C`s Grande Punto
• Do we need more 4x4 commercial vehicles? 15 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  are available - e.g. Ford Transit, VW T5 Transporter. Despite the extra purchase cost and running costs, having a few on the fleet could make all the difference in weather like we've had lately. The same goes for larger goods vehicles - a 4x4 two-axle 18 tonner would be able to keep going where 4x2's
• Giving youngsters a shove... 20 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  in the passenger seat had an absolutely incredulous look on her face as I waved them off. That`s what you get I suppose when you are quite old and frail looking, even to yourself, with a long white beard. A nice `comeback` though, from when that young bloke a couple of years ago offered to help me change
• During and after the airbags go bang ? 26 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  with umbrella and setting off airbags, what happens to the car in a SLIGHT BUMP with all airbags used ?

Is the car

  not to have to pay £500 for each gust of wind - especially as I live in Edinburgh. Not sure if the S-Max has the same 'strapless' doors! Let's see what Ford have to say ...

  are so good and you can buy things that never seemed available on accessory shop shelves in the 60`s. Are you still adding or replacing tools, on a job by job basis like me? If so what are your latest acquisitions?
• Citroen Xsara (1997 - 2004) - 99 1.4 noise under trailing throttle 17 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  affected by steering. engine speed does not affect the noise. It is only present above about 35mph. The noise is a fixed frequency, i.e. it doesn't vary with speed changes. There is very slight play in the inner n/s cv joint, and the boot has a pin prick leak of oil. Is this joint lubed from the box

• Toyota Yaris (1999 - 2005) - 04 1.0 PAS- very light and won't self-centre 27 May 2009 (Forum)
  I am not sure if it?s a characteristic of the power steering on this car but the steering wheel doesn?t ?self-correct? all the way back to the straight ahead position when you turn a corner. At low speeds if I turn the wheel a little left or right and let go ? the car will continue to turn, even
• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 05 1.6 DPF failure 24 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  and that it needs replacing at a cost of over £1000. When the car went in for the new injector there was nothing discernibly wrong with the DPF. Ford won?t touch it because it?s out of warranty. I?m suggesting that the catastrophic failure is as a result of the faulty injectors that were fitted. Roll

  escape, my thanks to the person who posted that. However, I'm still no nearer my small(ish) chain-cam diesel auto'.
