• Suzuki SX4 S-Cross - Suzuki boot won't open 7 Mar 2021 (Forum)
  Hello, I own a Suzuki S-Cross and I'm having an issue with the boot of the car not opening. This first happened during the recent cold spell we've had. The doors did not open immediately either, so I thought it must be some ice preventing the latch from opening.
• Audi A3 Sportback - S-Tronic autobox any good? A3 2.0 TFSI or S3 4 Sep 2018 (Forum)
  I am considering either an A3 Sportback 2.0 TFSI Quattro or an S3 Sportback no more than 2 years old. I want the auto S-Tronic gearbox but have no idea how good they are or how reliable (my old S8 went through 3 gearboxes in 120000 miles (220,000 miles when I scrapped it) and I will be keeping this car for 10 years or so, so don’t want the same issues.

• Ford Mondeo Mk.3 Zetec S TDCi - Mondeo 3 TDCi clutch / gearbox issue from cold? 26 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  Can anyone suggest what my problem may be? I have just bought a 53 reg. Mondeo 2L TDCi (Zetec S) 6-spd manual. When left overnight - or until properly cold - the gearbox is very stiff, with the gears being very difficult to engage until I have travelled about 1/2 mile or so, when it becomes much easier to change gear.
• Ford Mondeo - Mondeo 2.2 TDCI MAF idle value and Idle speed 14 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  Reading between different sites, iv come to the conclusion it should be in the region of 7 g/s@800rpm . Sensor shows 2 g/s when engine is not running and 14 g/s @ 835rpm(idle). That brings me to the next problem, the engine idle should be 800 rpm, would a faulty MAF cause this to rise?  
• Mercedes E230 Class Estate 1990 - Drop Rear Seat Problem 11 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  The catch on the O/S rear seat will not release preventing me from dropping the entire rear seat. The N/S catch releases but the bar carrying the luggage cover and dog guard prevents both seats from dropping. The release lever on the top of the O/S seat would indicate that the latch may be only partly engaged but the seat back  will not move at all and the lever appears to have no effect.
• Jaguar S-Type (1999 - 2007) - yr2000 - heating problem 18 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  I'm having a problem with my 2000 W-Reg Jaguar S-Type - Basically, the heating system doesn't work. The A/C works, and all the rest, but when you put the setting to warm, cold air comes out. No matter what setting you use, it's still cold air that comes out, and I've tried various combinations to make sure that there is no other way to make it work.

  Hi all, Thinking about a change to a jag S-type or XJ or similar recentish luxury barge as they are so cheap (there is a previous thread on this), for about £10-12k. A bit of common sense has kicked in, and I am intrigued by the twin turbo diesel jaguar engine.

  Hi, I would really appreicate some advice on the following: SWMBO has a 2001 Fiesta Freestyle with a 1.25 16V Zetec S engine. It has covered 24,000 miles from new, we have owned it since it was 6 months old. A local mobile mechanic has serviced it very well, annually for the past 3 years. He and my local Ford dealer are adamant that the cambelt only needs changing at 100,000 miles or 10 years.

• Ford Focus Electric Window U/S 22 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Apart from fuel costs it has cost me pennies to run so am reluctant to part with it. During the last couple of months the driver?s electrically operated window has gotten slower and slower until it finally stopped working today. Managed to slide it up ok by hand but it will need fixed. Is this an easy repair job as I live quite near a large vehicle dismantler and quite proficient with basic tools?
