• Hyundai Santa Fe - Thermo-dynamics of diesel automatics 19 Nov 2013 (Forum)
  When towing, the temperature goes up to 90 C at steady motorway speeds but on hill climbs or even accelerating in traffic the temperature reacts almost instantly so can be anywhere between 90-100 C, reaching as high as 110 C on odd occasions - but it drops almost as instantly when the throttle is eased. So is this heat gain from the engine doing a lot more work, as it obviously is, or is it from the transmission heat affecting the engine temperature via the coolant ?  
• citroen c5 - anti theft wheel nuts damaged 6 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  I have had the same trouble. Another way is to heat the bolt, clean it and use araldite or epoxy glue to stick the adaptor to the nut. Obviously remove all the other anti theft bolts first in case the adaptor is useless after this. Replace all with proper citroen blots afterwards; never tighten a bolt on a hub unless you have applied copper grease first.

• Renault Espace (1985 - 1997) - 1995 TD heater blower motor problem 5 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  How do I check, and if necessary change the heater or heater fan motor on my 95/M Renault Espace? The heater does not seem to work, (no life at all, apart from, when selecting the heating positions this seems to activate some sort of response, a whirring sound for a few seconds? But no heat, as far as I can make out, and no blower whatsoever in any position! I have asked my local garage and they say that they have run a live to the heater and it still does not work?

• 2010 VW caddy wipers question 24 Dec 2017 (Forum)
  When i picked it up it was raining, and when i left Lancashire the following day to head home, it was still raining, heavily. It was only when i got quite a bit up the road that it became apparent that the windscreen washers were only working on one side, and even then, only wetting a small area at the bottom right of the windscreen. I managed to get home fine, but the next day decided to investigate further.
