I don't f.cking care, I don't give a sh.t how brain damage manifests, I

Hair coming out of the exhaust pipe!21 Sep 2006 21:38 GMT14
I noticed today a trail of 'hair' coming out of the exhaust of my 1995 Rover
416. Is this the silencer going? Also, is it likely to affect the emissions?
Any advice please before I make a wig out of it!

Fiesta warning lights21 Sep 2006 20:42 GMT6
Just spent a minute flicking through the manual to see if I have an
engine warning light (having read the "What happened????" thread) and

minutes of putting new ones in. Driving a block or two would cause the

Evening,
I'd like to remove the top part of my timing belt cover to inspect the

Re Ford Fiesta 1.4 Zetec 05 15K miles

I hold down the clutch for a while and then try, it still grinds.I have

Just bought my first diesel car, a Peugeot 306 1.9 (not the turbo
