steering wheel to vibrate.
Has leaving the car for so long permanently damaged the brakes? Or will the

Looking at a focus td with a gearbox problem - noisy going into third -
will it be better to rebuild or replace the box if I buy it and what
costs would be involved?

To keep the oil level topped to the max mark on the dipstick on a '98
Hyundai Accent since it was last serviced ~5500 miles ago, i`ve used

Where is the cheapest place to buy VW spares?

Hi All, I am a 1990, lhd, lwb, 9 str, pet, 2 ltr mitsubishi minibus imported
from Germany. I need either a complete exhaust pipe, a back end, (after the

Dear Folks,
Every so often my Volvo 240 (2 litre, injected) refuses to start. It
