  • Vauxhall Astra - Tyres deflating 14 Jun 2011 (Forum)
      I've been told by yet another one of my neighbours that going along the potholes on the school run would cause my tyres to deflate, but surely I wouldn't be the only person on the school run to suffer from this problem.  The neighbour who told me this, by the way, has always been very 'keeping up with the Jones's' and tried to pick fault with every aspect of my car, declaring that Vauxhalls are rubbish, then went out and bought one that is five years newer.

  • Ford Mondeo - '98 Ford Mondeo 1.8 Diesel not starting... 7 Mar 2011 (Forum)
    So, to cover the other stuff... I've checked the timing, I've made sure fuel is getting to the pump, I've run a wire from the starter solenoid to the battery and the engine turns over but does not start, I've opened the fuel injector pipes to let air out of the system, so far nothing. I even looked for the fuel cut-off switch mentioned on petrol cars but there isn't one.
