ford fiesta engine warning light23 Jul 2006 13:32 GMT2
My ford fiesta engine warning light stays on constantly. The manual
just advises me to take it to a ford dealer. I spoke with one who said
it was probably a faulty sensor or the computer needs resetting. The
car is a 51 plate very low mileage and is running fine.
Stiff car door23 Jul 2006 11:30 GMT12
have a 2001 peugeot 206, and the driver door is getting very difficult
to shut- sounds like metal on metal as it crunches back from fully
open. Any idea where to start without taking the door off - or does it
come off easily?
Next stupid question - sunroofs23 Jul 2006 11:19 GMT5
What's the best way to go about diagnosing a leak in a sunroof and fixing
it? This is a standard factory fitted manual sunroof on the aforementioned
Skoda Felicia 1998 1.9D estate.
Mondeo CD Changer problem23 Jul 2006 10:31 GMT1
It's a 2003 Ghia X with the Sony system which holds six discs. I unloaded
all the discs to replace them this morning but when I went to replace with
different ones the CD unit didn't pull them in and comes up with CD error.
I've tried switching on/off, leaving a few hours etc but ...

Hi on our ford transit 1996/7 P reg 2.5 diesel lwb when we're driving
it along there is a red light in the shape of the engine I think comes
on and seems to lose power we stop for a few minutes with the engine
off and restart the lights gone out then it comes back on and the same,
Reversed Polarity23 Jul 2006 03:01 GMT31
While fiddling today I noticed that the big red wire coming off my
battery is attached to the negative terminal of my battery.
Obviously someone has stuffed in a battery of a different design to the
one intended and reversed the connections to make it fit. I'm thinking
Slightly off topic, but which wires go to trailer brake/side light23 Jul 2006 01:32 GMT4
I have just had to rewire a trailer board but I cannot remember which
wire goes to which connection on the brake/side light bulb.
The bulb is a 6w/18w (or something like that).
Is the brake 6w and the side 18w or vice versa ??.
Spongy brakes22 Jul 2006 22:13 GMT3
The brakes on the wifemobile (Skoda Felicia 1.9D Estate, 1998, non-ABS), are
spongy and have been so for a little while now. This was picked up on the
annual service last week. In responses to some other service points, I've
just replaced both rear wheel cylinders, both shoes ...

Air Con failure?22 Jul 2006 19:15 GMT4
Hi this may be a complete newb question but is an odourless greyish
vapour coming into the car via the air  vents temporarily after the
aircon has been running but has then been switched off a sign of a
fault? Or just water vapour happening to condense out? I have had to
Fork lift brake cylinder22 Jul 2006 17:13 GMT48
Hello group.
A bit off topic. The brakes of a forklift are just like the rear shoes
and drum of a car. A little bigger but just the same.
The brake piston seal at one side of the brake piston has failed so I
Close to the Edge (down by the river)22 Jul 2006 12:35 GMT16
I was on my way home tonight (with the window down!) when I noticed a
nasty crack running up my windscreen from the middle of the bottom of the
screen, diagonally upwards towards the passengers side. Its going on a
foot long. Its not actually a visual problem yet and is quite tricky ...
s40 rear light cracked22 Jul 2006 12:28 GMT2
Hello, I'm in the UK and have cracked my 1999 s40 rear passenger side
light cover.  I believe I need to replace the whole light "cluster" is
this correct (and is this the correct terminology)?  If so does anyone
know fairly cheap places to get hold of one of these clusters.
Vauxhall Astra +car alarm22 Jul 2006 12:20 GMT6
The car alarm on my 4 year old 1.8 astra keeps going off and refuses to
stop even when I put the key in the ignition and start the engine. I
have now had to disconnect it from the battery. This has happened
before but it did stop, this time it wont. The vauxhall agents were not
Synthetic Oils - Which are and which aren't?!22 Jul 2006 10:52 GMT6
I'm making the move to synthetic at my next oil change, I've done a fair bit
of reading on this and am definately taking the plunge, but there seems to
be a lot of confusion about exactly which ARE synthetic and which AREN'T!
I gather ester based synthetics are best (e.g. ...
