I'm considering buying a focus but the owner only has one key.
How much will a second key cost me?

BEST 2 LITRE(ish) PLODDER DIESEL .... ??
Any lovers of yr basic plodder diesel around ....?
...... fitted across a range of cars, it's said that the peugeot 1.9
diesel is one of the most sturdy and unbreakable diesel engines around

I usually avoid anything French, but an old friend has asked me to look at
her 306 petrol.  it idles ok from cold but no idle when warm.
When it comes in I will check for obvious things like vacuum leaks, loose
connectors etc.  but what next?  coolant temp sender? crank sensor?

My bora has decided to start revving itself for no reason. When I'm in
neutral it just rev's. Occurs anytime. Bit of a strange problem.
Happened a few times since the first about a month ago. Have it booked into
a garage just need to drop it off Monday.

Just thought I'd share my experience of this with the great wide
world...  this may be relevant to other Citroen models or indeed
Pergeot etc, as these small French cars from this period all fairly
similar and often take the same speedo cable parts.

I have a 1.9 TDI Renault Laguna, the problem I have is that it has become
slow at pulling away until the Turbo kicks in at about 2000 revs
This problem is worse when cold, it smokes as the revs get higher, the smoke
is a grey/blue colour. The car has just been given a full service.

Recently the Engine Light came on & I've diag'd with VAG-COM, had 4 faults

Cheapest place for a Fiat Punto blue key blank ?
Dealer wants 40 odd £  which then needs to be cut.
I have 1 blue key and the red master so the programming
of the second blue shouldn't be a problem.

I swear my Pug is trying to teach me all of the skills of mechanical
work easy cheap stages.
Today, the clutch cable snapped. It was kind and snapped outside the Pug
dealer in Lutterworth. The Pug dealer wasn't so kind and didn't have one

Friends of ours has just turned up with the reversing lamps on his
Citroen Picasso permanently on.
Faulty switch or something else?

I have a problem with my 6 series. There is fuel getting to the engine
and there is a spark at the plugs, but i have great difficulty starting
it. After further investigation i found a component situated at right
angles to the air intake pipe between the air filter and engine (

Hi all (again!),
I'm having a stupid problem with my new car ramps in that I can't get
the car on top of them :)
They're the Halfords own brand and are fairly typical. The max tyre size

Will running the car in neutral with the engine running charge up the
battery? How long will it take to charge it/top it up on a vehicle
that has been standing?

After not driving for a few days, I've just come back to a flat battery.
 This never used to happen before installing a stereo amplifier,
although of course it could be a coincidence.  The amp spends most of
its life in a standby mode, as there is a cable from the head unit ...

them at all ?
Thanks.
