• Ford Ka - gearbox or clutch problem 6 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  I have recentally (yesterday) found that my gearbox seems to have changed - It will go into a gear but it is either tough or I need to do it slowly. It seems to be the same for all changes but I am not sure what to do. The car is a S plate Ka and not very expensive and therefore dont want to pay out for repairs if not needed. Advice on what to do and potential costs would be greatly appreciated

• 1998 Saab 900 Timing belt or chain? 31 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  Right have just bought beautiful 3 door 1998 Saab 900 s 2 litre from my neighbour. He can't tell me about the last timing best change (the car has 98000 miles). Methinks I read somewhere that this engine has a timing chain. Was it cheap at £1000? One owner, alloys etc
• Mondeo Heater Fan inop pos'n 1,2,3 10 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Anybody changed the heater balance resistor/ control pack as it may be known. Suspect it's gone U/S as the fan now only works on selection 4. It's a known common fault,but just want to make sure that the improved resistor pack Ford now offer is compatable with my 1997 model in terms of wiring colouring.

• Chrysler 300C Road Test 25 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  >> Chrysler 300C CRD Road Test >> Thu, 27 Oct 2005 >> My advice is to get your order in now before they sell the whole year?s allocation. Hmmm, no thanks. Too much 'in your face', really. OK, we all know it IS its sole purpose, but... where do I park such a monster anyway ? - - - - - - - I am the only Pole over here.

• Safety idea for motoring - patents? 3 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  I believe that I have had an idea which would save 1000's of lives every year and wish to submit it to the motor manufacturers. Can I patent an idea? Or do I actually have to find a way of constructing a prototype and patenting that? Obviously I'm totally in the dark as to this (no that's not a clue!)

  Anyone looking for a PDA with sat/nav might be interested in this link for a Mitac Mio 268 which has been reduced to £245.58 including VAT: http://tinyurl.com/co53e Not something I've ever really been craving for so can't vouch for its competence against other models, but Mitac is a respected brand name. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - What\'s for you won\'t pass you by
• Get paid to drive a Renault! 9 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  Yes that's right! Just got an email offering me £15 of M&S vouchers for test driving one of their cars - so booked up a Clio 182 to test next Saturday. I assume it's open to anyone, just visit http://www.summertestdrive.co.uk to book. I've made sure i've got the email printed too, just in case the vouchers don't appear.
• Auction, Repossessions: what's the risk? 6 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  Just reading some back numbers of HJ's auction reports and in the 29 June one ( http://tinyurl.com/c6jzl ) he says: "Yesterday?s sale had quite a few interesting entries in the Bank of Scotland section, mostly repossessions carrying some degree of risk but consequently attracting low bids." Having bought a few cars at auction, and intending to again in future , I'm interested to know what the risk is...?
• Repairing scuffed alloys 1 May 2005 (Forum)
  My wife has just kerbed her 206cc and put a couple of nasty scuffs in the F/N/S alloy - they're not deep but a bit unsightly as they're on the face rather than the rim. I've found loads of places which will repair them but is there anything I can do myself? Appologies if this has been asked before but I've had a look back at previous topics and can't find anything.
• Rear wheel alignment 2001 - Honda Accord 23 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  I've recently had my car laser checked which has revealed that my n/s/r wheel is out of alignment- the car has a slight pull to the left which is most noticable under braking. Is the rear alignment adjustable and if so is this a Honda dealer job or could I expect to find an independent to carry out the work?
