Ford Cougar (1998 - 2000) - 98 2.0 Recent Purchase, few things gone wrong 13 Feb 2010 (Forum)
The garage mechanic thought it possible if they were not fitted right (not enough grease???). Front N/S CV joint has rusted through and snapped, killing an ABS (reluctor??) ring. Rear N/S wheel bearing has gone completely. Having just checked the MOT history it was advised there was 'play' on the bearing on a MOT failure 6 days before the dealer resubmitted it and got it passed. -

land rover to strike-70's all over again 15 Jan 2004 (Forum)
They have the attitude that because l-rover is profitable they deserve more than the 6.5% over 2 yrs. Fair enough but all profits go into the bigger ford/pag pot. Also bear in mind l-rover comes near bottom of jd power quality surveys so seems they are being paid good wages to build poor quality. We at Jaguar agreed to a 2year deal last year so we are up for our pay deal but aren't expecting much since jag lost so much last year. -

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 ? -

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.
