• Cavalier, Front wheel grinding! 7 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  Morning all, I have a '95 Cavalier which this morning developed a harsh grinding fron the front driver side wheel when taking right hand corners at a reasnoble speed. Doesn't happen when gently going around right handers or at all when going around left hander at any speed. Did a couple of full right hand circle in the car park and needs a little welly to make it happen, as if you were checking CV joints, no clicking and no previous indication of a problem, drives ok, steering feels fine, nothing obvious trapped underneath, just a nasty harsh grinding noise, any ideas Thanks, Ellis
• Knocking noise from under front suspensi 28 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Hi all I own a R plate (1997) Mk4 Fiesta Flight with a Zetec-SE engine. When I purchased the car there was a slight knocking noise from the nearside front suspension when I drove a little too enthusiastically over speed bumps - bit like a "clank". This has since got worse, and occurs when driving over un-even road surfaces.

• Nissan micra 2006 1.2 - Nissan micra overheating 21 Jul 2018 (Forum)

• Old boys cars, (well preserved) 12 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Fifteen years old, red paint and all... looking like brand new. really new that is, almost like a timewarp, if it existed, would present one. I guess its quite reasonable for someone buying their last car new, to keep it in a heated garage when its salty on the roads or even wet. To use the free bus pass and let the car stay pristine in bad weather. Whats the best example seen? in common cars that is, not the Lord in his Manor with a brace of Bentleys.
