• Basic Service - Skoda Favorit GLXie 3 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  I'm planning to do: (1) Oil and filter (hasn't been done for a year/10000miles) (2) Spark plugs, Ignition leads, distributor cap and rotor arm (never done in three years I have had it but I can see sparks in dark garage on leads) (3) Fuel filter and air filter (did air filter 18months ago, never done fuel) Is there anything else should be done?

• People, dogs and the countryside 8 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  When the owner appeared I politely suggested the use of leads. "No need" came the reply "We're in the country now" At that point I didn't reply as I had the children with me. I would have only pointed out the nuicance that he was causing anyway. Some people really make a career out of being ignorent.

• FIAT Panda (2003 - ) - Cabin filters 16 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  A straightforward question about car cabin filters in general. Are they usually up or down stream of the aircon evaporator and does their permanent removal lead to clogging of the evaporator matrix?
• VW Caravelle - Battery 17 Jun 2019 (Forum)
  Reset a few times but seems like battery was not taking charge. no load reading was still 0V. Got a donor car and connected jump leads. with both cars off, the jump leads were getting hot, so removed after approx. 20 seconds. Measured no load voltage again, still 0V. donor car engine not running and ignition off. Tried battery charger again, same result.
• Ford Mondeo II (1996 - 2000) - 00 1.8 Multiple coil pack failure: why? 7 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  It went quiet for a bit, I checked that the leads and plugs were all secure. But now it's back with a vengeance and I fear a meetup with the man from the AA before I get the problem sorted this week. So what I need to know is a) if there is likely to be an underlying cause for the failures?
• Sierra - What no spark? 26 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  Fuel is getting to the carb (pumping ok - pipe removed to confirm) and new/fresh petrol has been put in. No spark when plug is removed and engine turned over. Likewise no spark when HT lead is held (with protection!!) slightly away from coil. Can lead from distributor end be grounded to check for spark or not? So, changed coil - no go. Changed ignition module - no go. Although friendly car parts shop allowed each to be returned and both were tried individually.

• Fuels 23 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  Are the new range of Ultimate and Optimax unleaded fuels safe to use on ALL vehicles (obviously apart from those that require diesel or leaded!)? If so, do they deliver the additional efficiency and performance that they promise and are they worth the extra pennies on the litre?
