  I have a frustrating issue with my wife's Galaxy. When we bought the car at the beginning of the year the Auto Lock feature was activated. We have 3 kids with the youngest only 18 months old so Auto Lock is not good for the family.  I eventually found the correct process for deactivating it.

• Ford Fiesta - Which Fiesta? 22 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  The garage reckoned it was a faulty temperature sensor which they changed. We now wait to see if they have in fact fixed it. However we have both lost faith in the car and my wife wants to go back to diesel power. We're looking at a 12 to 18 month old Fiesta, questions are, what's the difference between the 1.5 and 1.6 units (other then 100cc) and which ones best to go for and why?

• Ford Focus 2.0 TDi 07 Plate - New Sump for Ford Focus 13 Dec 2013 (Forum)
  Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how much a new sump would cost for a Ford Focus? It would seem the D*CKHEAD who owned the car before me has had the old sump welded where he's grounded it on a speedbump probably, because of where it's wleded, you can't pull the sump plug/nut out. Any help would be greatly appreciated :) Cheers guys (and gals) Darren

• Morris - Minor 1960 1100cc - What Oil should I use? 22 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  I recently purchased a Morris Minor as a 'fun' car. It's a 1098cc engine of, I think 1960 vintage. Which oil should i use in the engine? Presumably the engine is using 'old' technology, so the latest fully synthetic oils would be inappropriate? Would a straight 20-50 oil be best?

• BMW 3 Series Compact E46 - Glue for door mirror glass 14 Sep 2012 (Forum)
  Noticed a wobbly mirror today and when I got home gave it a prod. The glass came away from its backing plate unbroken. Car is old so no need for a new glass which is quite expensive. Question is how to stick the glass back to its heated backing plate.  Superglue round the edges? Thought of double sided sticky tape but that might not work with the heat.
