| Fiat Brava | 14 Aug 2006 19:00 GMT | 1 |
Couple of questions regarding these cars. How is the radio removed? I can't see where the usual radio removal tools go. I take it it does require the usual tools? Also, has anyone who has got one of these suffered from an erratic speedo? With the one I have, the speedo ...

Mondeo 2.0 petrol, manual, Mk3 03 reg (Duratec HE). Engine revs are "hunting" when cold. Car starts perfectly but revs continually cycle between about 800rpm and 1300rpm as if blipping the throttle every second or so.

| Brake fluid | 14 Aug 2006 15:56 GMT | 2 |
Ok, thanks all for the help earlier, I have now topped up my coolant but when I did this I noticed the brake fluid was well below the minimum line! The car had a full service only 2 months ago so I find this a little

This is the second time that I have changed the oil & filter on my motorhome. The handbook says that it holds 5.25 litres including the oil filter. I have just refilled and can only just get 4 litres in up to the top of the

| Merc E180 wiper mechanism | 14 Aug 2006 15:36 GMT | 1 |
A friend has a 1994 Mercedes E180. Yesterday the window wiper stopped working. I've checked and the fuse hasn't gone - you can hear the motor whirring. I'm able to move the wiper across the windscreen with little resistance

| Flipping wonderful | 14 Aug 2006 14:31 GMT | 6 |
The wife's Skoda was broken into a few weeks ago. The passenger side lock was knackered before the toerag found that it can't be got into that way. So the quarter light was punched in. This was all so the idiot could steal a stereo that had the front fascia removed so is ...

| Car horn rules... | 14 Aug 2006 13:47 GMT | 18 |
I only rarely use my horn, and it tends to be to let other road users know of my presence *because they just did something totally stupid* and obviously must have been unaware of me. The only alternative is that they deliberately forced me to brake or otherwise take evasive ...

| Oil overfill | 14 Aug 2006 00:20 GMT | 10 |
Had a little mishap with my old banger (1988 Colt) the other day. Before setting off for a 120 mile journey I thought I'd check the oil. It was a bit low, so I topped it up to about halfway between min and max readings. I then set off.

| Just a stone chip or a paintwork problem? | 14 Aug 2006 00:17 GMT | 5 |
Got dinged by a small stone the other day and spotted this big chip in my bonnet today. (VW touran) http://www.zen31010.zen.co.uk/images/chip.jpg It's bigger and flakier than any stone chip I've ever had before. As the car is only two weeks old I'm a bit peeved.

| strange problem | 13 Aug 2006 23:45 GMT | 5 |
i have a ford escort, it's from the year 1999. It's a 1.6 zetec and has been okay up until now. When I brake and put my foot down on the clutch to change gears, the revs drop right down and the car nearly stalls, as the battery light flickers on and off, then recovers rev-wise.

| Synthetic Enamel - polishing / sanding? | 13 Aug 2006 22:46 GMT | 5 |
I know a few on here have a bit of a clue about paint. As I understand it, Synthetic Enamel (http://www.spencercoatings.co.uk/index/products_ace - look for Farmline) can't be polished after it's dried. This is a bit of a problem as I need to be able to de-nib and sand out any ...
