• Current Car Ads 18 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  So... Drive a Fiat Punto down a set of steps to try and wake your boyfriend up - he certainly would wake up when the low-grade Fiat glue gave up! Drive a Ford Fiesta on the moon, pretending it's a skateboard?

• silly driving behaviour, not new I suppose 18 Feb 2021 (Forum)
  Sections of the motorway are sometimes 4 and 5 lanes wide and the traffic at present is fairly light. I will drive along in lane 2 or 3 on this section doing about 65mph gradually overtaking HGV and slower vehicles. The number of idiots who drive up right behind me, tailgate me until I pull in then they are off like a shot from a gun.
• Van - Driving work vehicle I wasn't insured had accident 11 Apr 2018 (Forum)

• Renault Scenic mk2 1.9 dci 55 plate - injection fault red stop light on 10 Jan 2017 (Forum)
    Researched and found that this function is done by a pump bolted onto the diesel pump, its a finned alluminium block held on by 4 bolts and the suggestion was that the drive shaft had sheared.  Removed this block, which is a pump,  and sure enough the drive shaft end which locates into a drive slot had broken thus there was no drive to the pump so fuel was not getting to the diesel pump.
• Ford StreetKa - Engine Misfiring 17 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  Hi, My Girl Friend has a 2004 1.6 Litre engine Streetka, this issue is very strange, basically, when we start the car on a cold engine, it starts fine, if we drive it somewhere and stop the car and start it again straight away after stopping, it starts fine, if we leave the car for a few hour after driving it, it starts fine, HOWEVER if we drive it somewhere, and leave it for 30 minutes - 1 hour (whilst doing the food shop for example) when we start the engine again, not all the cylinders start it seems, when you accelerate it sounds like not all the cyclinders are firing, after a few seconds the engine management light flashes, however after driving for a couple of minute, it seems to sort itself out and the engine light goes out and sounds like all cylinders are firing!
• Diesel or Petrol advice. 15 Feb 2016 (Forum)

• Honda Jazz - Loud engine (I think) noise 6 Jun 2012 (Forum)
  I check the oil levels regularly and only looked 2 weeks ago and the oil levels were fine so I don't think it was that. I don't drive my car very hard, and I drive it about 4 hours a week. Does anyone have any experience of this? I am probably going to have to take it to a garage to have it looked at. Do you recommend I go to a honda garage or would it matter?
