• 02 Daewoo Nubira 1.6 Estate - Too much oil - Can I save my engine?! 7 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  I have been using it for the school run twice a day and not much more than that although for the past 3 weeks I have been driving it once a week on National roads -  I get up to 50 max as it has other problems (wheel bearing and tracking I think) which affect the steering and control of the car and problems with the new brakes giving kickback and not always stopping the car.

• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 02 1.6 High idle and creeping revs 19 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  I have taken it off and given it a clean, to no affect. The other problem I have is that if I am driving with the engine running below 2000 revs per minute, and I take my foot off of the throttle and press down on the clutch, the revs go up to 2000 rpm and stay there until the car is at walking pace. Then the revs will drop down to idle of 1200rpm.

• Peugeot 309 (1986 - 1993) - 90 1.9 gti turns over but will not fire 7 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  i have just purchased a 309 gti 1.9. the engine was running very nice, smooth and was firing up every time. the next day i was sorting out a few of the bits that needed doing and had the engine running for a while. while i was fixing the clip hoding the fuse board up the engine cut right out as if someone had turned the ignition off, was very strange. since then the car has not started, it will turn over but will refuse to fire. i looked to see if i had pulled anything out in the fuse board an noticed a tiny little switch up in there that had quite obviously been added to the car.
