• Ford Fiesta - Fiesta 2010 Powerfold Mirror 29 Mar 2013 (Forum)
    Is there anyone who knows how much he will pay for a new complete powerfold mirror with the red casing.  He said he won't charge me for fitting it, they will do it when they prep my old car for selling - just for the parts   Am very annoyed - I only had to keep it in good order for another 5 days. Cheers

• Volvo V70 - Volvo V70 - older TDI or D5 which is best buy? 18 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  Hi all, I need to buy a big estate and seems the V70 is one of the biggest estates around. Havn't got a huge budget ie up to 5K The car must be diesel for economy and I don't want something thats going to end up costing a fortune when it goes wrong. With this in mind, I'm kind of swaying away from the D5 because of the common rail engine and thinking about eiither an old shape V70 TDI (up to W reg) or a new shape from W reg onwards as the old TDI engine was in this newer model for a short time.
• None ... that's the problem - Driving Exam Question 22 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  I'll get to the motoring part of the question in a minute. Can anyone advise if you had a faulty fuse on an old Punto which was causing the window wipers to stay on would a driving examiner have the right to refuse to let you sit your test? Problem for me is that tomorrow morning I'm supposed to be sitting mine, in my Mum's old banger and today it has started acting up.

• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - Clutch and gearbox faults 12 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Whilst working away today busy building a Porch for a Mate I was approached by a neighbour. Nothing unusual there. Bit of small talk which soon got around to cars. I told him about my new small one and how it now suited me and he told me about his long one which now doesn't go. Well he was quite old. However, the true tale is of his 24k 3.5 yr old TDCi Mondy.
• Audi/BMW 20 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  An uncle who has just retired has surprised us all by announcing that he is looking at a BMW after almost 20 years of Audi ownership. He currently has a 3 year old A4 diesel and is stricken by a two year old 320d M Sport saloon with low mileage and leather seats. He is dithering because here and on other websites, there are conflicting comments on the BMW. Reports of rough rides and tyre noise with run flat tyres, door handles falling off and premature clutch failures.
• What fits What? 30 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  Needed a new bearing for an old motorcycle that I am doing up. The nearest Yamaha dealer is around 30 miles away so thought I would try a small independent motorcycle garage just down the road. The old guy who runs the place had a look at my damaged bearing and made a note of some numbers from it.

• Cold start problems on Laguna 2-litre 1 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  It has been in the local Renault dealer for 4 weeks, and they have been singularly incapable of finding any faults. They have replaced the cat with no improvement, so put the old one back on. Ditto ECU. Ditto idle control unit. The diagnostic equipment fails to show any faults. The plugs are 4000 miles old. The cold start sensor is apparently OK. The car has done 84000 miles & has been regularly serviced since new.
• BMW service indicator 5 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  I'll be getting my recently acquired 525 TD serviced within the next few weeks. As it's now 7 years old - one of the last of the old shape models - I don't feel the need for official dealer servicing, and reckon that dated receipts showing all work done/parts replaced etc should be enough for any future buyer now that the car is about to pass 100k.
