  I have a 2007 Ford C-Max 2.0 petrol Automatic.   It has a wobble but only on acceleration.  You feel it through both the accelerator pedal and through the floor in either of the front seats.  As you ease off the throttle the wobble goes away and the car will cruise along nicely.

• Advice for new car - i've confused myself! 14 Jun 2019 (Forum)
  I currently have a little 1.6 Fabia 3 which has been hugely reliable and great fun but is now a little small and has never been the best for motorway driving so with these parameters in mind:- 1) comfortable motorway ride 2) reasonable fuel economy 3) spacious enough for a family of four 4) reliable and cheap to maintain 5) long term purchase, probably best part of next ten years or so 6) a decent sound system! Other than that I'm pretty open minded about petrol or diesel, manual or automatic. I've just got myself in a position where I can't see the wood for the trees so would really appreciate somebody taking a dispassionate look for me. i have a budget of 8-10k. thank you!

• Mitsubishi Colt - Rear wheel locked - Mitsubishi Colt 2007 13 Nov 2018 (Forum)
  I've tried to rock the car back and forth,, forward and reverse to force it to move (which used to work before) but this time it feels really stuck.   It's an automatic car, with drum brakes. I've managed to take the wheel and it certainly looks like it could just be either rust, or the pads heated to the drum (due to my poor braking ability)   My father in law has had a go at tapping the drum with a hammer.
