  I have a 2006 VW Golf GTD and i want to fit winter tyres. The ride is uncomfortable on the stndard 17-inch wheels so I ask if it is allowed to fit a smaller...
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 02 2.0 Sludge in inlet manifold - diesel? 29 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  Whilst driving at the weekend a slight wooshing noise whilst under boost indicated an air leak upstream of the turbo, I found a slight split in the "S" shaped rubber hose that leads from the intercooler to the EGR outlet tube that itself leads up to the inlet manifold. I fitted a new hose today, quite straightforward, and at the same time replaced the water/PAS pump aux belt while in that area of the engine.
• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol (1998 - 2004) - 1.6 16v 2003 Dual fuel. Tyres best prices inc fit 7 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  I don\'t desire to go down that path again! I took them off the car and replaced them with a leading brand within a few hundred miles. Yes, that bad. I was told low grip/squeal was because they had a low rubber but high nylon content - hence cheap!

• Bump starting problem 3 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  The only thing I didn't try was starting it and revving it, all this happened without touching the accelerator. I assume they got it going in the end, since someone else stopped and offered jump leads. I'd left my car blocking the exit ramp so had to go any fetch it.
• CD Changers with FM Modulator 26 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  I'm quite keen on keeping the standard fit radio / cassette, so I want to fit a CD changer which will plug into the aerial lead. Questions: 1) Has anyone had any experience of the Kenwood KDC-CMP59FM CD/MP3 changer & modulator? 2) Are there any units where the main unit can sit in the boot, and the modulator sits behind the radio - i.e., so I don't have to re-route the aerial lead to/from the boot?
• Astra - slow cranking 28 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  Whilst I know diesel engines sometimes take time to fire I never had this problem until approx 6 weeks ago. Until then the starter had turned quickly.Even with jump leads the starter seems quite sluggish. All this leads me to believe that the problem is with the starter but I would be grateful for any advice from you guys. Could there be another reason? Is there a way of testing the starter?

• engine cleaner 31 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Is there a spray on foam or something which will dissolve the oil in a way that it can then be washed off with a hose pipe or pressure washer (I would remove the plug leads and protect the dizzy cap etc). How effective is the method you are going to suggest?

• battery life 18 Jan 2024 (Forum)
  Is it best to keep a battery on smart charge when the car is not in use to prolong the life, or is it better to just use the vehicle  and cycle the normal charge/run down process? In other words, do lead-acid batteries benefit from being worked?
• Petition Against Not Guilty Legal Costs 25 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  Thanks, my name's probably on the 'red list' now. This is surely the legal precursor for some other terrible change which they have foreseen will lead to a big increase in court cases for motoring issues.
• Batteries....another discussion. 1 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  Why is it batteries have never advanced from the lead acid principle when smaller batteries used in the electronic gadgetry have advanced leaps and bounds. They seem to stuck in time!!. And there is bound to a knowledgeable backroomer to shed light on this one.
