How do they work? The ones on my Pug 406 normally work well, but in drizzle
seem to either be far too keen or downright apathetic. I can't see any
obvious moisture detecting electrodes in a cursory inspection.

   My mother owns a 1994(L)  Rover 214 which has developed a frequent
problem after re-starting with a warm engine. She tells me that after it has
been parked when hot and it is re-started, the car will drive for a short
distance - less than 1/2 mile before the engine splutters ...

Probably going to be roped into trying to fix a problem with a 51 reg
Corsa on Saturday. Haven't seen the car yet, I'm asking for things to
look at so I can look knowledgeable :)
Apparently trying to start the car just results in clicking noises. They

My wifes Clio has had several problems with the exhaust gas monitor
staying on. The 1st time it was deemed to be the sensor, the second,
the plugs. It has now started again and this time is accompanied by
'chugging', etc and starts around 60mph.

on a starter motor shaft i  have come across two types of snap ring
the first type (link below), which is easy to remove with my (filed
flat for better grip) circlip pliers

The exhaust manifold gasket on my 98 Volvo v70 diesel is blowing a bit
I have had a quick look but it does not look easy to replace
Any advice as to how big a job this may be and what is involved

I'm about to waffle somewhat but please bear with me, it's all relevant
(honest) ;-)
Took the car to a track day organised by the IAM at the weekend. During

2001 BMW 320D when i switch on my indicators to turn right, they start
flashing at a very fast rate as if a bulb blown.
After 2 seconds they flash normaly and all indicators flash correctly,
is there something on its way out?

ANY IDEAS WHY THE SPEEDO ON A MATIZ WILL STOP WORKING..(NO JOKES
PLEASE).IS IT A FUSE OR RELAY BLOWN?  
THANKS

Just acquired a 97 previa and the remote lock doesnt work.Inside it refers
to changing batteries within 10 mins or code is lost.Clearly battery ran
down and never replaced. How do i recode it??

On my Volvo 850 T5 when the indicator is flashing right it flashes at twice
the speed of when indicating left.  I would have thought it would always be
the same.
Would appreciate any thoughts on what might be causing this.

I had a car battery on my desk to charge it, I have since noticed a patch of
wet on the desk which on cleaning up revealed a battery shaped mess of the
surface.
Is this normal? I didn't notice anything spewing out of the caps on the top

On My Nissan Primera, SR20De engine:
