Small cars, reduction in tax in the budget.24 Mar 2006 18:59 GMT19
The channel I was listening cut out immediately after this was
mentioned.
Is this basically fuel-cell only cars, or do other cars with high
mileage qualify?

My 2002 Renault Laguna II 1.9DCI has suddenly reverted back to km from
miles on the mileometer. The guy at my local renault dealership says
that he thinks the whole speedo cluster needs to be changed at a cost
of around £500.00 ???? surely this cant be right ?

ICV on 2.2 Zafira24 Mar 2006 14:10 GMT6
I have had my 2.2 Zafira for a week and have started having the odd problem
with eratic idling and being a pain to start (it starts then dies). It
always seems to happen when it is warm and has been stopped for a few
minutes. I presume from what I have seen that this is a classic ...

Can anyone recommend a breakers in Surrey/Guildford area which can
supply parts for a Peugeot 306.  I'm not sure if breakers tend to focus
on particular makes - I'm guessing not really.
Thanks
Scewfix - Jerry Cans24 Mar 2006 02:19 GMT23
I see that Scewfix, among others, is seling 20 litre jerry cans.
I thought it was illegal to use these for petrol storage, e.g in one's
garage. IIRC the limit was two 5-litre cans.
Am I wrong on this? What is the current position?
Citroen C5 External Temperature Sensor23 Mar 2006 22:52 GMT3
I have a C5 which needs a new external temperature sensor.
The part is fitted inside the passenger side door mirror housing.
Does anyone know how the mirror comes apart to fit the new sensor?  The
glass is supposed to unclip but I can't see how.

'04 Corsa - crap handbrake?23 Mar 2006 22:44 GMT15
Friend has a 2004 Corsa, on which the handbrake will only just hold the car
on a slope. She needs to pull it on so hard that she then needs both hands
to release it, even on only a slight slope.  She took it back to the dealer
who said "the handbrake is bad on these cars" and ...
Mondeo Front Wheel Bearing23 Mar 2006 22:42 GMT7
I've just replaced my CV joint on a mk1 mondeo and noticed the wheel
bearing rough.  What I would like to know is what tools I require and
how to replace it.  The local garage wants £80 so I'd rather buy the
tools and do it myself so that I can do the other side too.
Changing Vauxhall Vectra (53 Reg) door mirror23 Mar 2006 18:34 GMT1
I need to change the door mirror as it has been vandalised, have bought
everything I need and feel confident in replacing the assembly -
except. Which door panel(s) do I need to remove to access the remain 2
bolts that secure the mirror. The 3rd bolt is conveniently accessed via
a2 dodgy turbo?23 Mar 2006 18:26 GMT7
My dad thinks the turbo on his A2 1.4 diesel is gone.  It's only got
40k on it so seems a little unlikely unless someone's been doing bad
things to it?  Anyway, he takes it to some guy (this is all very 2nd
