• 03 espace auto brake/ticking fuel pump 9 May 2007 (Forum)
  My 03 espace 2.0t auto(petrol) seems to have a problem with the auto handbrake,it works as it should in the handbook manually and automatically, but when i insert the card and it checks systems it comes up on the dash AUTOMATIC HANDBRAKE FAULTY, also the service light and P warning light stays on permantley. The other possible problem is what appears to be the fuel pump fixed to the underside of the fuel pump,a few minutes after the car is locked you can hear a noise,sounds like a pump,for about 2 seconds and then the fuel pump starts to tick like a clock and continues until the car is unlocked.

• Which vehicle should i go for ? 22 Feb 2025 (Forum)
    Out of  Skoda Octavia vrs , Ford Transit crew van and VW transporter kombi which one would you recommend buying ? My budget is £17k  It needs to be automatic as my partner will be driving it. She passed her test with an automatic car so can only drive automatics! We have 2 kids and love to go camping and thinking of doing a european tour this year so we need something with a big boot and also ULEZ compliant.

• Skoda Superb Estate II 2.0L TDi - 2015 - DSG 6 Speed Semi Automatic - Clutch Wear & Replace 4 Feb 2020 (Forum)
  I have quite a few manual clutch changes under my belt, transverse and inline but have never done a semi automatic. So a few questions: Should I change the DMF as well as its a pretty pricey part and I cant here any knocking or bumps when gear changing so assume the shocks  are good? Are there any gotchas or things to be aware of, like software / calibration updates to an ECM?
• Automatic petrol with a bit of panache and flair 28 Aug 2017 (Forum)
    I do about 5-6000 miles a year and irregular journeys of about 15 miles there and back to work place three days a week.  A diesel will just not cut it. I would like a petrol engined car, an automatic, with a bit of pizzazz.  There is just nothing out there on the forecourts.  I am willing to spend £10kish and no-one is running up to me to take my cash.  Been at 5/6 nationwide dealers - Skoda, VW, Ford, Peugeot, Mazda - they all searched their databases and came up with over 700 diesels that fitted the bill and about 10 petrols....a Skoda, a BMW 3 series estate, and I forget the other ones.
