Hi, after quite a bit of head scratching it seemed to me that a reasonably
fairly cheap and reliable car to buy next would be an early Toyota Yaris.
Nobody seems to have many complaints about it (that I've seen anyway) and I
thought I would go for the automatic gearbox.

I have a 2004 Fiesta. About 1 minute after leaving work yesterday I was
pulling away in first gear when the car shuddered before I could fully raise
the clutch and I lost power. The backlight which normally illuminates the
fuel readout etc on the dashboard started to flash and it ...

Bought one of these from argos (not ideal but thought it was worth the

It states in the manual you should disconnect and remove the battery before

I've seen a few links on here in the dim and distant past for alarm remotes.
One of my Rover remotes (two round buttons) has packed up. Changed battery
and resynced it as per the manual, but still no joy.
Seems the going rate for a new one on some sites is about £60 which seems a

Confession time: When I had the sump off my golf (oil pump change), one of
the threads for the 20 or so sump bolts got a bit mangled. Obviously, if the
whole lot's mangled, I'm stuffed, but if it's not too bad, can I retap it
with the same thread as standard? OTOH, would I cause ...

Hi
Astra estate 1.6 auto runs cool all the time. The gauge is in the blue

How can I reset the service reminder on the computer, without going to
a dealer.

On a road near to my house, they have recently painted a series of
bizarre markings.  At several points along the road are painted two
white squares next to each other, both coloured red.  One has a bicycle
symbol in it and the other has the number 6 in it.  I was wondering if

Steve,
how far away are you from Neath and would you be able to check out a
car for me there?
It's a Eunos Roadster with a turbo conversion so it may be worth the

Recently had the misfortune to have one of these as a loan car for a day
whilst mine was being serviced (the joys of a Saab/Kia specialists!).
Is it usual to have brakes so sharp that you're almost catapulted
through the windscreen touching the pedal to stop at the edge of the

When I first viewed Mrs S's prospective purchase, a 98 R Hyundai Accent
Coupe, it had great dollops of mayonaise under the oil filler cap, so paid
special attention to all the other signs of HGF, but found nothing else. I
still bought the car after negotiating a suitable discount ...

Hi all, i need some advice with the aforementioned car.
1998 Zetec, 57000 on the clock and is losing coolant somewhere.
GF took it into garage 3 weeks ago, they replaced thermostat because of 'my'
diagnosis. i.e Engine Hot, Heaters Hot, Radiator Hoses COLD.

I have a Nissan Micra 1995 NCVT (automatic) 1.0 litre as a cheap
run-around-town at the minute... it has 70,000 miles on the clock, and is
perhaps not in the best condition it could be ;-)
I recently went over a speed-bump, and ever since (perhaps not connected)
