How much is this volvo worth?31 Dec 2006 22:29 GMT14
Ok, how much would you say this Volvo S70 T5 Ex-police is worth?
Bearing in mind at auction I saw a black R reg 2.4T CD (not a T5)
model with full recorded history and 79k on the clock go for 1600
pounds.
Ford Focus 55 reg boot opening when break applied31 Dec 2006 17:57 GMT3
My mum has a 55 reg new style Ford Focus automatic.
There is an intermittent fault. When the break is applied the
boot/hatch clicks open. So far the boot hasn't opened fully, but who
knows when/if.
Octavia slow water loss.31 Dec 2006 17:43 GMT10
I've got an Octavia 1.8 (5 valve per pot Audi engine) which is losing a
bit of water, maybe 1 litre a month in the last 2 months.
Immediate thoughts were a cooling system leak, but no apparent leaks
have been found.
Clicking in my Steering wheel !31 Dec 2006 17:41 GMT12
I have a 98 Vectra CDX and over the last 2 months I have noticed
clicking in the steering wheel when turning corners . This especialy
happens when going around round abouts and is becoming very annoying !
I have  had a mechanic to check it and he thinks that it could be the
Ford Mondeo TDCI flashing glow plug warning lamp...31 Dec 2006 13:58 GMT6
...anyone here experienced this before? Have learned much through the
fordmondeo.org discussion forum but think that Ford are now trying to
rip me off?
Squealing tyres31 Dec 2006 12:10 GMT12
The front tyres on my Audi squeals every time I move off from a standing
position. Tyres were replaced recently but still does this. Are there
any mechanical reasons why this happens?
Totally hypothetical question31 Dec 2006 11:56 GMT11
Pre-emptive maintenance. My mondeo is a 1996 model. Say for instance I
wanted to change the water pump. Would it be worth my while to do it before
it dies? Having it break down on the A1 for example could prove a lot
costlier than changing it after 10 years.
Rover 214i Stalling - could it be the inertia switch??31 Dec 2006 06:51 GMT7
   I am looking at a Rover 2.4i (L-Reg) with an intermittent stalling
problem which appears to be fuel starvation. According to the wiring diagram
in the Haynes workshop manual, there in an "inertia switch" in line between
the fuel pump relay and the electric fuel pump.
Cambelt on '95 Mk3 Golf GTi (2.0 16v)30 Dec 2006 23:01 GMT5
A friend has just acquired one of these, and I was investigating what was
required to do a cambelt job on it.
Autodata has been a bit shite, to say the least, with it's information as
the diagram shows only one cam...yet it's a DOHC engine.
Emissions Failure: CO reading30 Dec 2006 13:04 GMT23
My 1996 Citroen AX 954CC has failed its MOT on CO emissions. All other
emissions readings were within tolerance. The MOT tester seemed to think
this was the CAT, but that was only replaced in November 2005. What are the
other likely culprits for a higher than legal CO reading?
Rover 420 (Air con) heater/gauge problems...30 Dec 2006 08:45 GMT2
1997 420 GSI Air con model, temp gauge works VERY sporadically (more
often not working than is), heater takes an age to give out ANY heat.
Water level ok and clean, and no warning lights on, so I'm suspecting
the top hose thermostat, any other suggestions.
Ford Puma/Fiesta air-bag light29 Dec 2006 20:47 GMT1
I have replaced the steering wheel on my 98/R Puma 1.7 with another Puma
wheel in better condition. The airbag LED now flashes every 5 secs or so
since. I re-checked the airbag plug and it's fine, any idea how I get the
LED to stop flashing? Is it a Ford job?

I've just changed the HT leads on a little 1.4 Corsa (1993) but
foolishly did not note the order in which they conected to the
distributor. as you look at the cap from the battery end there is a
figure 1 embossed at the top right position. Can anyone help with the
escort diesel van 199729 Dec 2006 16:27 GMT5
