warning light and had some replacement parts fitted as a product recall.
Everything has been fine until now, when the engine splutters until I

I know this is a car forum but I must be way out of touch with current

The tailgate struts on my Skoda Octavia estate have given up, and need
replacing.

The heater on my 98 escort doesn't seem to be blowing very hot air,
it's warm but nowhere near as hot as i seem to remember it last winter.
It also seems to be taking a lot longer to warm up and if you turn the
heat dial down even just marginally the air from the blower becomes

I've got a L-reg Corsa (5 door) with a reasonable amount of life left in
it and, as befitting of a car of this age, Third Party Fire and Theft
