  • Neighboors using my driveway 18 Oct 2013 (Forum)
    I don't know if there is a law regarding driveway.I bought a house which got driveway on it,now my new neighboors live beside me don't have a driveway and have a big bush covering their front house .If I go out using my car,,he uses our driveway to get into their front to park his car.The annoying thing is when I got back and park my car infront of our house or our driveway. The neighboors disturb us and tell us to move our car for him to get out from their front as they don't have a driveway.
  • Ford - Focus ST170 - Knock from front suspension area. 10 Aug 2007 (Forum)

  • Headlight masking 19 Apr 2003 (Forum)
    Is any old black tape suitable for masking headlamps for continental driving. It has been suggested that some tapes can absorb enough heat to crack the glass or melt the acrylic on some newer headlamps. Bought masking material is not very expensive, but is the silver backing and special (removable) adhesive worthe the cost?

  • Citroen Berlingo 1.9D 54 plate - 'Unsolvable' over-heating problem! 27 Dec 2014 (Forum)
    The only other things I can think of are that the radiator is no good, but it gets very hot all over it's surface and must therefore by definition be 'radiating' heat. The coolant temperature sensor is faulty - although it accurately reflects warm up temps and it is possible to 'see' when the thermostat opens. Is there any way of measuring cooling system flow rate?
  • Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 05 1.6 Front Suspension 19 Jun 2009 (Forum)
    The next day I took it to get a new spring fitted (I know I should have got the 2 done) but I only got the 1 side done. Since then, there is a strange noise coming from the front of the car, it only happens when there is 1 person in the car, if there are 2 people in the car it doesnt do it. With hindsight I realise I should definatley have got both front springs replaced and i,m presuming / hoping that this is whats causing the strange creaking / rumbling noise.
