Either way... I am having to replace my car due to some dizzy bint
running into the back of me, and have come across a 2000 registerd 1.8
Focus that is in really good condition with below average mileage.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on specific Bad Things to look

I bought a 4 year old car last year. It is a good runner but came with
no history.
I was gutted to recently learn that it is cat' C.
I have looked all over the vehicle but cannot find any trace whatsoever

My power steering is moaning a lot, and I think the belt that drives
the pump is a bit slack.
My question is, does anyone know how to adjust the tension? It's low
down and not easily accessible and I can't see anything obvious.

Just bought a Kalos as a second car.
Pleased with it (yes) but wish the gear lever was a bit further forward.
Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust the linkage to throw the lever
knob a bit further forward?

Some of you may recall my recent problem where the main pulley on the end of my crankshaft fell off due to the rubber insert failing.
I have the parts and have created access to the front end of the engine by removing the viscous fan and cowling.
I now wish to undo the large bolt ...

What tires would you choose from the following list in 185/60/14H:
Bridgestone Turanza RE300 60,30?/u. - 241,20?
Michelin Energy E3A 67,30?/u. - 269,20?
Pirelli P5000 Drago 46,30?/u. - 185,20?

just after some ideas? my pug 406 p plate has started to get heavy o
the steering.
someone told me to bleed any air out by taking off fluid filler cap an
steering full lock left & right a few times & to watch for bubble

My 214 has a factory fitted radio/cassette.
Has anyone heard of anyone fitting a multi cd changer and
connecting it to a rad/cassette player?
Thanks.

I've just bought a new/used car- 200 x reg(Vauxhall (Opal) Zafira 2.0 Di
16v Elegance), originally a Dutch made 'import'
The ABS light is on all the time - all other lights go out after few
seconds.  Does this mean the ABS isn't working? If not - how much to fix

A friend was selling me his astra for £1500.  He did say that  he was
putting some tyres on to sell it (he works in a tyre garage) . The tyres he
put on are new , but are (I think) what you would call budget tyres. The
name on them is austone. Bearing in mind the cost of 4 more ...

I am convinced there is something wrong with warm-up time and running
temperature of my car.  It takes about 15minutes to get warm air
through the heater and 20 minutes+ for the temperature gauge to reach
about 83°C (definitely doesn't reach the 90°C marking on the gauge).

My stepdaughters old 1.7D E reg Astra estate has started blowing hoses
and loosing water.
Her dad (a mechanic and supplier of the car a couple of years ago) has
charged her to change a few of the hoses (?) but tonight I got a call

OK, I have had diesel engines since the year dot and have recently
discovered my knowledge of petrol ignition systems is completely
theoretical... and seems to have a few holes in it!
So, the book of words recommends Bosch HR7 plugs with a gap of 1mm.  AC

The lining on one of my brake shoes has come off. Anyone know what glue they
use to stick them on with and where I can get some? I see that someone uses
Araldite or some other epoxy resin glue. This may be OK but how heat
resistant is it?

I have a 1 year old Nissan Micra and I find that the driver's door swings
open on occasions when driving although I think it is shut properly.  I have
not actually had it happen but my wife finds it fairly often.  May daughter
has  3 year old Micra and also finds the same thing ...
