• 00 Citroen Xsara Speedo and rev counter 10 Apr 2025 (Forum)
  My Wife's car 'Citroen Xsara 1400 Forte Regeration 2000' has just been serviced and broke down this evening as the fuel filter clip had not been done up properly. Green Flag got it going and I think needed to use the starter a lot to get the fuel going again. Here is the problem. The the Rev counter and Speeometer have some how spun round and are now resting the opoisite side of the speedo stop.

• Jazz 63 plate EX 1.4 - Honda Jazz servicing 29 Nov 2020 (Forum)
   Local Honda dealer could not be bothered to return my call, went  to book with a dealer 8 miles away in Surrey/London border that price matched at £215...shows how much profit margin is built in.  My question should we get fuel filter and coolant properly drained which are all extras.  Honda want £90 for coolant and  between £90 to £160 for fuel filter depending on external or internal.  Should I get coolant changed?

• Vauxhall astra diesel astrolife A/CCDTI 2010 - slow stuttering after having new EGR fitted 25 Jan 2017 (Forum)
  Our car was losing power so we had new EGR fitted, when it was collected from the garage when accelerating it was almost as if the car would pause and then move forward again repeatedly,we discovered it had a hole in the fuel tank and tank was virtually empty. So we had a new fuel tank fitted but the car is still doing the pausing then moving forward action when accelerating, the garage doesn't know what it is so we took it to a diesel specialist and all tests show everything is working fine, Has anyone else had this and if so what was it and how do we stop it happening.
