My 320d has an iritating lag when putting your foot down, it starts to
accelerate then goes flat, and never delivers the punch it should, any
ideas as to the problem?

Can anyone please tell me where the cable adjustment is on a 1997 audi
a4 avant 1.9 tdi, I have fitted new pads and the pistons have auto
rotated into position as far as they are going.
The cable is now slightly long resulting in the handbrake lever

Stupid I know, but I offered to change the instrument panel lamps in a
friends 1997 Fiat Ducato. The ones that illuminate, or not, the heater
and ventilation controls.Problem is I can't actually seem to work out
how to get at them. Any suggestions welcome, I don't really want to

Does anyone know if it is easy to change the bulbs on a Megane, what
type of bulb they take and how you can do it? I have a rear right
light not working. I have heard that the fronts are quite difficult to
change and some people have to take off the bumper to do it?

What can cause a cambelt to snap ?

A friend has an N reg Fiesta  (1.1 pushrod engine) which seems to have
developed a lot of 'mayonnaise' inside the rocker cover. Deposits are
even present on the dipstick. The car is used for short runs only and I

and rust is setting in so time to scrap it and start again.
Priorities are:

Vaux Cav L reg heater resistor where is it roughly and how easy to fit

Errr - following on from yesterdays message re cambelt and timing, I've got
the timing on the 1.8 Ford DOHC engine spot on according to the book and it
still runns like, well, a dog really.

  I was about to do an oil change on my Fiesta MK3 1.1 and discovered
