anybody know what the problem could be? (as no engine lights are on)?
I've read that it could be the coolant temperature sensor any idea's on

to a stop.  Engine wouldn't start, left it for a few minutes when it started
again.  Drove it home and sometimes it would seem to stop for a fraction of
a second and then start backup as you could see the ...

At the moment my seat belt 'clips' are mounted direct on the seats and to
the sides of them. This has caused some scuffing of the seats long term.
Those flexible stalks that put the clip a few inches above the mounting
would be ideal. Can they be bought new - or is it a question of ...

Hi guys, my local garage fitted a new suspension spring for my mondeo
on Friday. The silly imps didn't put the gaiter back on over the strut.

Any pointers gratefully received......

I'm looking to buy a used Focus diesel 3/5d hatch between 1 and 4 years old
in the UK.  What model should I buy for reliability?   Any model I shouldn't
consider at all (for reliability) Are there any specific points I need to
watch out for when viewing the vehicle?

My daughter has an elderly ('T' plate, 140K miles) 2 litre Mondeo which
misfires at low revs.  Driven 'briskly' there's no problem, but at anything
less than about 2500 - 3000 rpm on a more gentle throttle it seems to lose a
cylinder.  She has had new spark plugs and leads fitted ...

My son's girlfriend has just bought a 1998 FIAT Punto 1.2.
I'm not sure if it has got a 8v or 16v engine. Does anyone know the
cambelt interval and is it the same for the 8v and 16v. I've read that
the 8v is non interference. Can anyone confirm this?

I've got a V-reg 1.7 Astra diesel estate that's developed a weird fault;
after about 5-6 miles driving from cold (temp gauge about normal - 80C) the
tacho reading drops to zero and the engine oil and engine fault icons come
on. Also, engine power drops off and on tickover the ...

I'm losing coolant at the rate of about half a litre every 50/60 miles.
There is no visible leak so i suspect that its the head gasket, especially
as i've noticed the engine running "unevenly" lately, mainly till it warms
