• Mondeo MK3 clunk 11 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  I have a 2005 MK3 Mondeo 2.0TDCi Zetec S - I've noticed a clunk/creak type noise at low speed pull away and deceleration. Sounds like it might come from the passenger door but maybe elsewhere. I've noticed other comments re engine mount problems but this car is less than 2 years old with only 20k on it!

• travelling tonight 26 May 2006 (Forum)
  Where are the major holdups likely to be ? I assume things will have quietened down by the time I get to Notts / S Yorks. Normally I do this run on a Saturday morning and it takes just over four hours. Is it worth taking an hour out at the worst time to feed the family?

• Do I need DSC and Limited slip diff? 6 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  I'm thinking of buying a Mini Cooper S convertible, but don't know whether to have Dynamic Stability Control (Automatic Stability Control is standard) and limited slip differential. I am going to enjoy the sharp handling, but will not be pushing the car to it's absolute limit.
• New Fiat 500 4 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Anyone seen the picture of the new Fiat 500 in "Test Drive" magazine, car to be launched in 2006. has all the cuteness of the 1960's 500 but looks much more solid and safe. While I'm here, would like to say I enjoy this relatively new mag, especially their constant support for the Honda Jazz, my wife's car (keeps up the residual value).
• New Old Golf 6 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Doing the rounds of the local VW dealers on Friday to find a replacement for my mum's Corolla I was asked if I would consider a new Golf V 105 TDi S without aircon. This would be the older pre aircon car but desirablke nonetheless. Seems the dealer has bought 50 of them from VW. Any idea of true woth for Januray registration. Cheers

• speed wobbles! Vauxhall Astra 20 May 2004 (Forum)
  I\'m getting a lot of vibration/speed wobble at about 65-70 mph, my car had a front end shunt about 18 months ago and a friend suggested I might need to get it \"jigged\"? Also suggestions for uneven tyre wear? What does \"jigged\" involve? It\'s a front wheel drive Astra. Phil
• Omega fan 16 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  I've had a bit of a squeak for some time from the front of the engine. Today, after a long run, the fan(s) continued for a bit after I'd switched off, and I realised the noise was still there, so I now know the cause. Is it i) something I should worry about or ii) something that a quick squirt of WD40 in the right place would cure, if so, where?
• Omega 2.0CD Estate Automatic. 7 Apr 2004 (Forum)
