| Short journeys | 14 Dec 2006 00:39 GMT | 106 |
My journey to work is only a few hundred yards, I take the car as I need it throughout the day. Should I let the car warm up before setting off, is there any real benefit or is it merely a waste of fuel? If I just fire it up and go it would be

Just bought a '94 Mk4 Tranny and when I go over bumps and pot holes there's a load banging coming from the front nearside suspension. I suspected the bottom ball joint as the offside one has been replaced recently but nearside is original.

I have a 1991 1903 2.3 with +206,000 miles, and now have a problem with engine idle. It seems, especially in colder weather and / or start up that the engine idles extremely high. This is affecting my gas mileage. it sounds / feels like the choke maybe stuck.

| sluggush starting - vaux cav 1.7td isuzu | 13 Dec 2006 12:01 GMT | 3 |
My cavalier appears to be getting increasing slow at turning the engine over. Normally I'd suspect the battery but the odd thing is that it seems to turn over faster stone cold than if its been parked for a minute after a decent run.

| Getting Rain-X/Fog-X off a screen? | 12 Dec 2006 19:51 GMT | 17 |
I've got the nasty suspicion that the previous owner of my CRX coated the inside of all windows with these nasty chemicals. Unfortunately (if it was Fog-X) it doesn't quite work and actually makes clearing the screen a lot harder than necessary, plus it fogs up even more readily.

It's gone. If I try to fix things what will need replacing and how much will it cost? With the age of the car I imagine it might not be worth trying to repair it. Any help appreciated.
