• Low mileage Xantia - am I sane to reject 6 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  no odd noises, powerful and straight line braking. It rode and cornered smoothly. At £2,699 from a garage with a year?s MOT I was impressed but decided not to buy it. It was nearly perfect BUT the clutch worried me , the 4 Michelin tyres looked original and had about 4mm of tread left ? but at 6 years old were past their sellby date and would have to be replaced.

• Jaguar XF - P052F Glow Plug Module Fault Code (No symptoms) 28 Dec 2022 (Forum)
  I've just had a new battery fitted to my 2015 X250 XF 3.0 S and before and after fitting the battery, the mechanic plugged in an Autel scanner and the only fault code that came up was PO52F, a permanent fault with the Glow Plug Module System. He tested all the glow plugs and all were fine so he thinks that fitting a new Glow Plug Module will cure this fault.

• Ford Torneo Connect - Faulty EGR valve or Injector? 27 May 2021 (Forum)
  I told them the EGV valve was changed and then checked 3 weeks ago. So they say, send it back to the garage (as it´s still under guarentee for the parts) or change the injector and see what happens. An injector is an expensive job to do.
