• Vauxhall Signum (2003 - ) - 03 2.2pet oil top up - how much ? 24 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  However my recently aquired Signum 2.2 petrol has done a short 3k in my hands and the oil level has dropped to half way between the max and min marks on the dipstick. I want to top it up and I know it is 10/40 in there. Two questions. 1/ Do I need a specific type of oil, EG syth or semi syth ? 2/ Roughly how much should I pour in or is it just a case of trial and error until it reaches max ?

• Ford - faulty diesel injectors,hesitation on accelerating 18 Sep 2007 (Forum)

• Spartan Warriors. 7 May 2020 (Forum)
  All they tended to come with was central locking, in fact there was a cheaper base model that had absolutely nothing. This is what the fleet market wanted in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s,utter simplicity. I ran one a 1.4 boggo base model for a while, I sold it at 93,000 miles then took it back in part ex at 120k and ran it again for a while. Great, cheap and simple. All you needed and nothing much to go wrong.
• Ford Mondeo - disposing a scruffy, uninsured car that runs 17 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  This also means I need to declare SORN on it to avoid trouble - this stuffs up a plan to keep it taxed and buy short-term insurance if anyone is interested. The old S reg Ford Mondeo starts, stops and runs beautifully, but is scruffy on the outside (rust and a dented door from being reversed into), has only 2 weeks MoT, tyres are coming to the end, may need some more welding and has a list of non-essential things that no longer work on it.

• Ford Fiesta Mk4 Central Locking Problem 12 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  I found half a sheared spring and was wondering if this was a common fault? It seemed an awfully small spring for such a major job... Hopefully when I take it to a ford garage tomorrow I can ask them to dismantle the metal lump to insert a new spring, or whether they're likely to try and sell me a new one... :s R. resistance; the door didnt open. I went around to the passenger
• Ford Galaxt TDI sluggish performance 24 Sep 2001 (Forum)
  I have a 1998 (S reg) Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDI 110Bhp with 28,000 miles on the clock. In mid-May 2001 I had the clutch & slave cylinder replaced (due to my wife's heavy foot). At the time of replacement the garage failed to reconnect the Turbo Charger in-let (?)
