  Who in Leicester can replace my Peugeot 306's off-side driveshaft? 2 Jul 2010 (Ask HJ)

• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 2001 2.0 DuraTorq DI loss of power 1 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  Before shelling out several hundred Euros in purchasing a new pump with labor, another opinion would be appreciated. Here are the symptoms: 1. The car starts fine and initially drives fine.. After 15 to 20 minutes of driving when the temperature gets to normal range (almost 50%) while driving, the engine loses power, with a bit of jerk reaction. 2. Once the program begins, the car can kind of chug along in 1st or 2nd speed, but any acceleration and the chugging begins. 3.
• Volkswagen Passat (2001 - 2005) - 04 1.9 Aux drive belt idler pulley or viscous fan 27 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  The cambelt and kit of parts were replaced last year, but the garage didn't replace anything to do with the aux drive belt (no reason to I guess and I didn't ask them to). So, what experience does anyone have with either of these items? Obviously replacement is expensive as the front has to come off the car (again!!).
• Cable Vs Fly by Wire Throttles 9 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  I am sure most people here drive modern cars with Fly by Wire (FBW) throttles. What do people think of them? I have rather negative views of FBW.... My experience of driving modern cars with FBW has been limited to hire cars such as Astras, Vectras, Focus etc...

• DVLA - Migraine a Notifiable Condition? 16 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  I informed my boss that it was, in fact a migraine and not simply blurred vision and that I would be fit to drive on Monday morning but he has said that he wants me undergo medical tests and to obtain a report from my GP stating that I am fit to drive a PCV before I can start back. I've rung the medical department of the DVLA and they say that I'm fine to drive a PCV and have made a note on my records.
• Ford Fiesta (2000 - 2002) - 02 1.25 Overheating and no hot air!! 5 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  Anyway they carged me just under a hundred quid for sorting that, putting some coolant in etc and the problem went away... until today. Between then and now I've put a few thousand on the clock, including several 5+ hours drives in one go and had no overheating problem. So after this happened today I rang a different local garage, again on a freinds reccomendation. They have said that I have likely warped the head gasket through driving with the needle in the red etc.

• Blew 123mg breath-Caught drink driving.[Read Only] 11 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  I realise it's my own fault, but am really worried that this mistake is going to turn my life upside down? No previous conviction, driving offences and thankfully nobody was injured. It was simply a routine stop and a Drink Drive charge. I really cannot apologise enough! Any advise and help will be much appreciated. Thanks, Link.
