• Ford Focu 1.6 - H vs V Rated Tyres 18 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  Could I ask what is the purpose of a V rated tyre over a H rated one for normal road use? I have a Focus 1.6 currently running on V rated tyres.   Looking at them, I'm going to replace all four, but I fail to understand why I need to replace them with V rather that H rated tyres, as the size/profile is available in both.

• Ford Fusion 03 or 04 - Ford fusion?!? 19 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  I know it has a dull image, but I believe the running costs, economy and insurance will be low on this model? Theoretically it is a raised fiesta right? Also I can pick a decent low mileage used one for a small budget that I have at the moment.

• Best 7 seater 4x4 or similar? 5 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  Been in the garage practically every month for the last year. But I love the cabin size etc Need a 7 seater for family/shared school runs but also one that's presentable for taking clients/work colleagues in. 4x4 desirable as we tow a kayak trailer from time to time. I also like the 'height' of a 4x4 type car. Considering xc90 or x5.
• Wierd grinding noise 6 May 2013 (Forum)
  Hello Everyone,  Im having an intermittent fault occur on my Fiat Grande Punto when I try to start the car. It is a grinding sound similar to that of turning the key when the engine is already running. Its had a new starter motor and no change. Happens seemingly randomly when attempting to start. Can see no pattern to when it's happening or why.  Heres a link to youtube to give you a better idea of the sound, its not the best quality video but hopefully it will give you a rough idea.
• 2 litre diesel - Focus Error Code 21 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  Having Googled this code it said something about "PATS Received Incorrect Key-Code From Ignition Key Transponder" which may as well be a foreign language to me. The car runs fine, no problems at all. Both ignition keys are the originals. Anyone able to explain what this means and how to correct it.
• Mercedes Vito 108cdi - Vito diesel- white smoke 6 Mar 2013 (Forum)
  Today my Vito van, 2001, 108 cdi model, suddenly starting poring white smoke out the back, huge clouds of it. This is smoke, not steam, smells very smoky too! Van is running rough and went into limp home mode, not revving above 3000. No engine light on, no codes when scanned with OBD scanner. Can anyone advise on some tests I can do to work out what the problem is?
• Skoda Fabia - Do any VW 1.6 TDI engines come without a DPF? 20 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  Hello, Do any of the VW 1.6 TDI CAYA (75BHP) or CAYB (90BHP) engines come *without* a DPF as standard? I may need to replace my trusty 2008 Skoda Fabia 1.4Tdi (BNV version = no DPF) nicely run in after a faultless 165,000 miles. But I do  not want a DPF. If I cannot find a 1.6 TDI without a DPF then I guess I will just stick with my trusty Fabia.

• Ford Mondeo Mk3 2Lt petrol Duratec - Low-load misfire 9 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  The engine has new Plugs, Leads & Coil Pack to successfully cure a misfire. I now have a jerky engine (misfire?) when running along with the engine just keeping up with the road speed (much more dramatic in 4th rather than 5th) - the slightest acceleration and on overrun seems to be OK. Also there is a noticeable lack of pulling power up hills and fuel consumption is down about 10%.
