Friend started to recall that a dealer had said he has many call outs to
cars where the engine had been run for a very short time - ...

Whipped the valve off because of stalling issues and there was a bit of
crud on the mechanism. I gave it a good blast with compressed air,
refitted it and it's quite a bit better now but still not perfect. Do I

Or rather I think that's what it is - it belongs to my niece's husband.

Feel a little daft asking but I haveheard a very strange noise from my 2001
vw polo. Just driven about 30 miles and had parked, engine still running and
in neutral I hear this kind of glug glug sound kind of like you hear when
you cook a tomato pasta sauce, I'm not even sure it ...

I need to replace my Cambelt and have heard that it very expensive.  M
local Fiat garage have quoted over £800.  I have heard that there is
garage in Hertfordshire (or could be Essex) that specialises in doin
these for £400ish.  Does anyone know of this garage or other garage
