• Nissan Primera 1.8 SE Petrol (2003) - Won't start - battery or alternator...or other? 20 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  It's the original battery in the car so at ten years old it's probably due a change, but are there likely to be any other causes? With the jump-leads it started first turn of the key, so I'm hoping that shows the starter motor to be OK. As always, any advice is very much appreciated. thank you, John

• Squeaking Front Wheels -SEAT Leon 1.9tdi 19 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  It doesn't happen when the car is cold (i.e if stationary for a few hours) but once warmed up for 10mins of urban driving the noise appears. This has lead me to beleive that it's a brake issue? It happens under braking which would lead to the usual suspects (dirty or fading brakes etc) but more worryingly it starts to happen everytime I turn right (again only once the car is warmed up).
• Vauxhall Astra H (2004 - 2009) - 05 1.6 Engine Block Light & running on 3 cylinders 9 May 2011 (Forum)
  I stopped to chek the manual which indicates that this is an exhaust emission fault. The car felt and ran just as it would if you had removed a spark plug lead. I made it home (approx. 4 miles) and the fault remained consistent. If the fault were a simple one, such as a spark plug lead coming off, would this make that light come on? Can anyone give me any pointers as to what it might be?
