• Mini 2012 1.6 Petrol Auto - Engine malfunction light 13 Sep 2017 (Forum)
  Hi, Last week thursday the check engine light came on. i booked it in for a diagnostic at the mini dealer. The car seemed to have lost some power but still able to drive anyway i stopped driving it. The appointment was this morning. When i started the car the light went off and the car seems back to normal. Has the car just corrected itself? Should i still have it looked at if the light is gone off?

• Peugeot 407 - Power Steering Leak 25 Feb 2015 (Forum)
    It is leaking out of the cap quite excessively and also it is starting to become very heavy when driving. I had tried to 'bleed it' as suggested on another thread by overfilling, turning to almost full lock, running engine etc and then test drive. This didn't solve anything as it is still gushing out the top of the cap.

  hi, my mondeo is revving up to around 1500rpm on idling and then dropping back to just below 1000rpm in a constant cycle whether the engine is hot or cold. it also revs while driving and even if you are holding the accelerator at a certain position it will accelerate until you press the brake or clutch it. it is basically very dangerous for driving around but i have nothing else.
