Hi It has been two months since i drove my car. When i tried starting
it today, the battery was dead. I got the jump leads out and used the
power from another car to get mine started. However, when i drove it,
and whenver i took my foot of the gas, it just kept cutting out. I

All,
I've recently had a front-end impact that has required a new front grille,
bumper, bonnet, new near-side wing, skin on passenger door and I've now been
told chassis realignment.

My brothers Escort Gti revs away up and down (as if pressing the
accelerator) without actually doing anything. It also at about 70mph just
dies and loses power until it drops to about 55mph when it then starts to
pick up again.

Ok - I have a manual glow plug switch because my relay is busted
somewhere on my 2.5LW Pajero Diesel. Basically, press a button, count to
5 and then turn on ignition - car starts fine
Anyway - the manual glow plug switch is fine, does the job well. But

Can anyone advise me about a problem I've got with my Honda Accord?
Whenever I drive in the wet, the back seat, which starts off dry, gets
a very wet patch on it (it's nothing to do with the effect of my
driving on backseat passengers, before anyone comes up with that one

Question 1:
I've got a 1997 Omega 2.5v6. I noticed a split vacuum hose to the inlet
manifold, one of 4 that connect to the back of the upper section of the
inlet manifold. This hose goes to the emission control purge valve but

I have a Bedford Rascal Van which actually has a Suzuki 1000cc Engine

Any thoughts or ideas on this one. Sierra 1.6 OHC engine. Ticks over and
revs perfectly, but any attempt to move car and revs die. Just no power. Its
probably a coincidence but started doing this the day after it MOT. This car
has never let me down before. I've cleaned up all the ...

Anyone know where I can get a replacement car key and 'plipper' / fob
from? Its a Mazda one and Im told by the key cutter that it has a chip
inside. I guess there are independents who specialise in this sort of
thing?

My Audi 80 Air bag light has started to come on for 2 minutes after i
start the engine, then goes out and is ok for the remainder of the
journey.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, read on another site

Fiesta Y reg.    I tried the emergency key (key with small T shape handle)
in the ignition last week.  Not only did the key turn but the engine
started.  I thought that the emergency key only operated the door locks
mechanically and couldn't be used to start the engine.  Am I wrong ...

Arse....despite my best attentions and avoid any curbing when parking I
seem to have picked up some "minor" damage on one wheel in particular
that I can only assume I have managed to pick up on from the crap roads
I haven't been able to avoid recently.

Oil leak ,have changed sump gasket,gearbox seems ok, any known leaks for
astra engines ?

I can't get any heat from my 2000 Fiesta 1.8 Endura DI!!
I have changed the header cap, heater valve and thermostat. I have also
flushed the system fully and refilled with antifreeze. The engine
quickly gets up to temp and runs bang in the middle of the gauge.
