• Honda Jazz - Dealer Servicing or Not ? 16 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  Hi All,    Have a 53 Jazz thats needs major service and been quoted around the £500 mark for it. Now in my younger days I handled almost any job on a car and can more than easily do a major on my Jazz ( mind the comfort of a heated garage with full Audio entertainment, soft furnishing on floor and surgical gloves are a pre-req these days ) and was wondering, as the car is now 7 yr old, is there any valuein a dealer stamped service history at that age ?

• Warm feet - cool face 23 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  I can set the heater to warm the cabin and cool my face at the same time. Great for keeping alert on long winter motorway journeys. Most new cars these days have sophisticated systems that cannot achieve this simple setting. Does anyone know of a current car (other than Rover) where the heating/ventialtion setting can work like this? Thanks for your help.
• Alfa GT 3.2 V6 - Problems with new(to me) car dealer won't fix! 12 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  I bought my 54 plate Alfa GT 3.2 V6 from a dealer some distance away because there aren't may of these cars for sale. It was bought at the begining of December supposedly in good condition with everything working and 3 month mechanical warrenty, I test drove it and things seemed ok. It was pointed out to me that the front bumper had been resprayed and I am fine with that, however a few days after buying I checked the coolant level and it was down so I topped it up and things seemed ok (I work from home and don't actually use it much).

• Citroen Xsara 1.4 - Citroen Xsara temp light and stop lamp 5 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  I seem to have a problem with the temp light and stop lamp coming on when the temprature reaches 90 degrees. The car is not pressurising and it is not over heating. I have changed both the sender units although when I replaced the one on the side of the head no water came out, not sure if that is correct or not.

  But on the windscreen of all their cars is an optional extra of a background check for £99 +vat. I can get my own check for £2 to £15 but should I even need to. Assuming they provide paperwork to back up the sales blurb is it enough?

• 99 414 Screech/Whistle from front o/side 22 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  My 1999 Rover 414, 47k miles, not driven particularly had has developed an intermittent whistle / screech. It comes from the front offside when going around a bend at 30 to 40 mph ish. The front brake pads were changed 10k miles ago (11 months ago). Could it be a wheel bearing on the way out? The car was my fathers so everything is original except the tyres, exhaust & front pads.
