will not start easily, even after allowing glow plugs to go out, "seizes
whilst turning over, prior to firing.. I suspect water seeping into the
cylinders.

I do a web site for an open cast mining / regeneration scheme and when on
site I have to wear one of these high visibility yellow jackets. Normally I
keep it in the boot but since I got my car MOTd during the week and managed
to salvage one of my tyres, that has been in the boot ...

After my previous post entitled "Overfilled Coolant on Fiat Punto", I
have determined that as suspected there was something more sinister
behind the reason I needed to add water to the beast.  Yes, it seems the
head gasket has gone.

Went to the garage yesterday because I noticed there was some wheel
wobble at about 70mph.
They took the front wheels off and, to my surprise, the inside edge of
the drivers side was completely shredded (down to the wire!!!). Other

Has anyone had to remove a inner door panel on a Skoda Felicia. Any clues
where to start much appreciated.(screws, clips poppers!!)
If not I'll have to buy a Haynes!

My '94 Golf 1.8 CL petrol has just passed 100,000 and having owned it for
the last year, I thought I should get the belts checked.
I phoned my local VW dealer and they said replacement of the belt(s) would
be 225 UKP!

Vauxhall Vectra 1999 LS 1.8. The illumination on the panel which shows
the time radio date etc.  just to the left of the main dash panel  has
suddenly gone all black- as if a lamp in it has fused or summit or could

sometimes do this , anyway you've done 9000 miles so your due one, 28

Just topped up a Ford Ka with Oil.
It was at the bottom of the dipstick range so I glugged a bit of oil in
then paused to check the dipstick.
I just couldn't read it. After wiping the dipstick and putting it back

Having solved the over rev we move on to the next question:
The rear wipe on my 1998 Fiesta works only intermittently.  Sometimes it's
fine, other times it doesn't move at all and sometimes it will work with a
_very_ gentle push (as if it's not getting enough current to move on ...

Further to the thread below (Inspect/change belts, my question concerns who
is liable if a cambelt breaks within the specified change period - 80K or
whatever, or is it just one of those things after the statutory warranty for
a new part?

Stupidly overfilled the coolant on my Punto (R-reg) this morning (with
antifreeze) to well above the max line (pretty much to the top of the
plastic overflow reservoir).  I was wondering if:
1) It would be a bad thing to run the car.  The plastic reservoir does

I bought a Mondeo recently with a Ford 2006 RDS radio fitted. I'm about to
replace it with an all singing all dancing one, but I want to keep the Ford
one just in case...
I don't have the code for it. Since it's currently still in the car and

Over the last few weeks my 2000 1.6/16v corsa has started to make a tappety
noise when started from cold which lasts for about 5 second and quietens.
Its never done it before and the oil was changed 6k ago.
Its only done 36k miles from new, is it just going to be a tappet and is
