• Ford Focus - Front brake discs 29 Apr 2014 (Forum)
  Hi,   I've been told that the front discs on my Ford Focus are fine on the outside but are getting worn on the inside surface (i.e facing inwards towards the car rather than the face you can normally see). There did seem to be some lipping on this internal face.

• Volvo S60 (2000 - 2009) - 05 2.4 Wheels and balancing 11 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  The alloys have some weights on them. Am I better putting the wheels with the least weights on the front or rear axle of a FWD car or, does it make no difference ? My thoughts are put the lower weights on the front as they are the better manufactured wheels in theory and the fronts have all the work to do.

• Howling sound from front wheel-volvo S80 9 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Hi I've got a volvo S80 which is FWD. Recently there has been a low howling sound coming from the front right wheel( sounds a bit like the wind whistling past except an octave lower) which gets loud the faster the car goes. Does anyone know what could possibly be causing this? Bearings, joints etc?

• Ford Mondeo IV (2007 - ) - Can't lock the car 23 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  Having a funny problem tonight. I have just been defrosting the windscreens and side windows having planned to go on a shopping trip. However, I have now thought better of it and decided to go in the morning. Problem is, I can't lock the car. It locks via a fob that you click once to lock and twice to double lock.

• Peugeot 207 - Stalling when Cold 10 Nov 2022 (Forum)
    The car might stall again if I stop and try to start again with 1st gear, unless I press the accelerator a lot and it revs pretty high. When it heats up there is no issue at all so it only happens when it is cold!

• Which one of these cars should we get? 31 Oct 2010 (Forum)

• No front number plates 18 Aug 2019 (Forum)
  I live in Leicester and I’ve noticed quite a few cars recently (mostly boy racer types) not displaying their front number plates, I assume they do this to make their cars look “cool” and avoid detection of forward facing speed cameras. Additionally, I’ve also seen more cars that have a black tint on their number plates, some so dark it’s difficult to read.

• Vag 1.6 tdi overheat 27 Dec 2020 (Forum)
  I let it cool down and checked the coolant, it was still at the correct level and no visbile leaks/contamiination. There was plenty of heat coming through the vents when I turned the car off. I went out a small drive, but when I come to a steep hill where I live it started to rise up over 90. Again no cold air coming through when heatears are on full.
