• Vw Polo / Audi A1 - Polo/A1 cylinder on demand 1.4 3 Nov 2013 (Forum)
  After having a few Diesels and looking at a new 120d I have decided, for me diesels are too much trouble than they are worth and as a private buyer I'm not willing to take the risk again. I do around 25000 miles per year and repairs on my last two diesels have negated any fuel savings made ( and more). With this in mind I want to go back to petrol. I want a car with a good amount of power, but sips fuel. I was tempted by a hybrid, but I just can't get along with the CVT gearbox despite really enjoying the Yaris hybrid for most of the time I had it.

• Peugeot 206 (56) - Overheating and Losing water 5 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  After a service identified he needed a new head gasket, I booked it in for repair. The head gasket was replaced, engine skimmed, cam belt and fuel pump replaced. After 2 weeks it started leaking again. The garage took it back and said things just needed tightening. Over the next couple of months it still leaked and eventually the garage took it back and did the head gasket again.

• 98, endura E engine , 80 000 miles - Ford Ka, intermittent no power, poor idle 23 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  Also worth mentioning, is that this behaviour above, is totally independant of the weather, temperature, rainy / sunny, so I have not replaced the spark plug cables or the coil (since if these are bad, it's ofter worse whan damp weather). Changed spark plugs, fuel filter, looking for cracks in air hoses (visually, and with start spray). Added a bottle of injection cleener in the fuel tank. Thorougly leaned air mass sensor and the idle control valve.
