| Vectra Clutch Rattle | 15 Jul 2006 14:18 GMT | 1 |
Managed to fix the non starter and now have another problem! When we lift the clutch and as it hits the biting point there is a squeak/rattle. Sounds exactly like the noise when someone is using those drills to dig up a street!

| What's that thing on the wing mirror called? | 14 Jul 2006 17:02 GMT | 10 |
and where do I get one? I've seen some cars with a small convex mirror attached onto the extreme edge of the wing mirror. I'm not sure what they're called but they allow you to see cars in your blind spot. A lot of the newer cars

Odd problem with the boot on my mark2 mondeo, 1998. The Boot has become extraordinary heavy, and wont stay up.... I presume one of the two pistons (?) use some kind of hydraulics to balance the weight and allow a smooth up and down action.
