• Fiesta 1.4tdci - Turbo not boosting 26 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  Since then the turbo will not boost. I have checked the turbo itself and I is fine. Had a mighty vac on the waste gate and that's working fine too. All the vacuum pipes and intake pipes are fine. The four inlet manifold seals are in a good clean condition and located correctly. There are no fault codes. All the injectors have gone back in the same order they came out and it's running fine...
• Ford Focus 2007 - Sudden leak in PS plus whirring sounds 1 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  Today the car started making whining noise as I drove out the gate. It seems to be the PS system. There's a leak somewhere, oily fluid deposited on the belt and wheels and dripping onto the ground.  Immediately parked the car up before more dmage is done.
• Jaguar S-Type (1999 - 2007) - Gearbox-what can it do? 6 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Now I have guessed (and a small wager) that the gearbox has some sort of tiptronic/manual function up the left hand side of the gate thereby allowing him to select a higher ratio from rest and giving more traction and/or being able to change up ealrier having the same effect. Will I be the winner?? Best regards.................Martin

• Volkswagen Passat Timing belt kit 11 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Anyone know of a good source for a complete timing belt & tensioner kit (preferably Gates) for a 1999 Passat TDi (110bhp, engine code beginning AFN)? I've found a garage that seems competent with a good labour rate to do the job. However, they said the parts would cost £120 and I'm sure they must be available cheaper elsewhere.
• Hijacking - worth reading. 23 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  If you are, drive to the nearest police station. If you think it's safe to enter your driveway and you have a remote control, drive through the gate and stop immediately afterwards, leaving the car in reverse until the gate closes. Don't just drive through and leave the gate standing open for anyone to enter. If you have to get out of the car to open the gate, switch off the car, leave the key in the ignition, close the car door and open the gate.

• Toyota Corolla 26 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  The clutch bites very near the floor (had been told it has had work done on it). There is a bit of rust in a few places but this is the thing that worries me. On the tail gate (it is a 5 door liftback) there two lines along the tailgate near the roof exactly horizontal from the windscreen out. It looks like the tail gate has been made out of two separate ones (a cut and shut tailgate if you will).

• Ford Fiesta - Ford 1.8 Endura DE cambelt query 12 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  I replaced my 1.8 NA engine(58 hp) cambelt. I got a gates kit, and the new belt is not as wide as the Motorcraft belt from Ford. Also, it is fitted too close to the pulley edge inward and the belt gets hot under operation.Is this normal? Any suggestion about how to check the tension using thumbs is welcome.
• Wrong Arm of the Law 5 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  Worth watching if only for the roadside architecture. Apparently out on DVD ! In one scene as part of the plot level crossing gates are closed by the mob using a large wheel in the signal box - I actiually forgotten I'd seen this sort of stuff as a kid !

• Parking outside my house 25 Apr 2017 (Forum)
  Quick question just looking for other people's thoughts on this really, My house in an end of terrace house with a piece of pavement on the side which is big enough for 2 cars to park fully, when I purchased the property the person I purchased it from wrote down that there was parking to the front to the side and the garage but the pavement is not actually down on the deeds just looking into things i wondered if anyone knew whether this pavement would be purchasable from the council as it only leads to my gate and only I need access there it also has no services in according to documents I've looked through, Any thoughts or feedback would be really appreciated, Thankyou

• Jaguar X-Type (2001 - 2009) - auto question? 19 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  I had a look at, though not a drive of, a very nice 3.0 V6 SE today. The J gate auto does not seem to have a "Tiptronic" type function, it is either fully auto or, when the lever is moved around to the hook of the J, manual selection of 2, 3, or 4 only, i.e. no option to flick up and down the ratios like the BMW system I am familiar with.
