Don't forget if buying a diesel that any decent engine likes to be

Well, I fixed the car fine, it was running like a dream!
Tonight, it starts to misfire and run really rough, then in standing
traffic (wigan town center) it stopped dead. nothing. nada. Not even a dash
warning light.

The kids "accidently" squirted juince on the beige roof lining and well was
wondering what can get this out ?
cheers

Having some trouble getting the discs off. I have taken the caliper off,
taken the retaining screw out and begged to god it would just plop off but
no joy. Any ideas on how to get it off ?

I have a 2001 2.0 DI Ford Transit which when very cold will not start
Tha Battery is fine all the lights work but when the ignition is turne
on it only clicks. It will click for ever if I keep turning the key
This has only just started happening, once it has started it's fin

First sign of trouble was a slight grating noise from engine top end
which grew slowly worse. A day or so later I noticed oil on the path.
Ran engine on tick over to find origin of sound with a listening stick.

Ive got a dilemma. My lovely semi-restored Celica GT4 is in a bad way
currently - clutch plate failed and box needs swapping but I dont have the

does any body know if the diesel engine in a mk 2 mondeo, is the same as in
the mk1s mondeo, only they dont do a manual for the mk2, but they do for the
mk1 diesel,

It's especially noticeable when I'm driving the car hard just after starting

were completely rusted. (It had expensive-looking alloys with 5 narrow
spokes, so it was obvious.) Looking at the offside, the disks were all

When I take my foot off the gas, the revs climb to around 1500, before
slowly settling back to the normal 950 ish.
Car is a 2.0ltr 16V Ecotec Cavalier. I have tried a new IAC valve, and
there are no fault codes present

I recently bought a 1993 Vauxhall Carlton 2 litre 8 valve at auction

idle very rough. The car would shake and revs would drop then go upto

I've been using HonestJohn and WhatCar to check over
cars I'm considering.
Are there any others out there that I could/should be looking at?
Cheers.

The P reg 214 SI I just acquired has a radio/cassette player that
has integrated controls on the steering wheel for channel searching and
volume.
I have a sony radio/cd player from the previous car.  So if I replace
