    My nissan x trail, 2015 model, has done 100k miles and more recently, its developed a squeak, which is more audible, when driving at a speed under 15 miles. The sound happens after driving for say a distance of 5 miles and it's like a loud squeak, almost as though, when the wheel is going round, its catching onto something.

• Ford Focus Estate 2008 - 1.6tdci- Alternator 30 Nov 2016 (Forum)
  Alternator is making 14.5-14.6 at idle and right when the battery indicator comes on, lights dim and voltage drops to 13.4-13.6.  The alternator is off used car but my opinion is that it-s working fine and something is taking extremly much amperage and cant seem to find what. Battery doesent die form a day to the next and the problem seems to be manifesting when engine is running. Anything I should look for?
• Reliable diesel for a budget of 4k? 20 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  (the kia felt sluggish today, it may just of been a bad example though). I almost went for another ford again but don't like the sound of the 1.6 engines with dpf and various other issues. I guess Hyundai i30's could be an option? Many thanks and apologie for the length of the post, I'm really hoping for some decent help.

• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 05 1.6 Front Suspension 19 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  Hi All I have an old style 2005 Focus Flight 3 door with 63k on the clock (I have owned from new). Last week the O/S/F suspension spring snapped, luckily only the top coil of the spring came off so no damage was done and I was able to drive it to get repaired. 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.
