My Skoda Felicia 1.3 MPi has problems cutting out and then restarting. This
can happen almost any time. When first started it sounds to be running a bit
lumpy and then gets going but sometimes dies at this point and at other

A while ago i posted to this group about a my Ford Escort ('96, 1.6,
~100k miles) which seemed to be experiencing a severe misfire/juddering
which would begin about 10 min after startup and last about 10-15min.
If you could drive through this then the problem cleared and everything

I have a warning indication on the dash which is not mentioned in the
manual and which Ford cannot identify. The warning indicator is located

Hi, I  have '53 reg Clio but I have noticed that the high level stop lamp is
very dim. It can be seen at night but hard to see in the day. It is one of
