• Mazda 6 TS2 2.0d (2008) - Release bearing/Gearbox issues 28 Nov 2011 (Forum)
    Test drove the car and love it, but it was making a fairly harsh sqealing noise throughout the drive. Car has been sat on a forecourt for a while, so I figured nothing serious (lubrication issues or maybe the cambelt needed tightening) but asked them to sort it and I'd re-test drive it before I confirmed anything.

• Astra 02 1.6 sxi - Only tick over and drive in LIMP HOME mode. 24 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  If, thanks to my EGR valve, I have to crank the starter for nearly 10 secs before it'll start and the 'Car with the spanner' comes on it'll tick over, and drive very nicely indeed! If however the engine starts instantly on the first turn of the starter the engine idles smoothly for 5 or 6 seconds before it dies. Repeating this even if I restart unless I rev continuously and it drives with lack of power which comes and goes in waves.

On Sat it had leaked fuel onto the drive, it looked like it came from a pipe near the rear axel, a pipe covered with this foam sleeve.
