Hi all i have just replaced my clutch and gearbox, no massive dramas
however after reassembly and during first test i am getting really
violent vibration and pulling to the right, i couldnt get above 15mph
in order to avoid causing damagh, upon inspection i have noticed that i

Got a problem with my car ('96 Ford Fiesta Ghia 1.25), and excuse me if
its obvious but im a novice here. The engine doesnt come on at all, no
sound of it turning over or trying to start, just a very faint
whirring, possibly electrical, sound. It was driven through a nasty

So, the Clio I posted about a while back.
"Don't worry about the timing belt" etc.
Well, I've been trying to find a garage that won't rip me off. There's a
belt in the car, but I haven't had time to have a go at fitting it myself.

I've just bought a 1993 306 1.6 XT to replace my 1994 306 1.9D which
was written off.
The gear linkage on the new car has died on me this morning. Had RAC
out who fitted a new pin to the linkage but advised me to get a new

Probably a long shot, but does anyone know where, on a 1998 Peugeot 306
1.9 TDi, the following can be found: breather hose, intercooler and
flame trap? Any advice welcome- thanks.

Hi again
I have anti-freeze in my car which is a yellowy colour and I want to
top it up with some more but the stuff I have is blue in colour.
Will this be ok or must I try and drain out all the old stuff before

What roughly should a main dealer charge me for a full service on a 04
Micra 1.4 auto?
Reason for asking is the deal is that if I have it serviced once a year
by them, any repairs that need doing, the parts are free.

I've just bought a 1993 306 1.6 XT. There is a switch with a symbol of
an up-arrow and a down-arrow on top of each other with an X in between
(if that makes any sense).
Looks a bit like this but 90 degrees to the right, my ascii art skills

My little old Escort Diesel 1.8 (1994) standard has an illness.
Turning the ingnition on lights up its dash  lights and it tells me the glow
plugs are heating (the timer relay must be working) but the glow plug relay
does not operate (seems the solenoid is not energising). Bridging ...

Howdo,
I've got a small 'issue' with the Auto box on the Citroen I recently
acquired. Now don't start, it's a CX :-> - a 1986 25 Prestige (the full
Jacques Chirac!)

I have a private bet for £100 that I can drive my car the full 14 miles to

problems.
Wish  me luck...............

I read that Nissan are discontinuing the Primera due to bad sales.
Seems that this size of car is disappearing now.
I don't think the new Primera was a great improvement on the older model.
Even reliability had deteriorated.

How do you adjust the height at which the water from the washer strikes
the windscreen on a Renault laguna (latest model).
It was obvious on my old golf. Simply use a needle to adjust where the
nozzle was pointed at. But in the Renault I cannot see how this can be
