created, it was to sustain the human mind, body, giving to it the
abilities that would one day suit every facet of it: progress morally,

I have a VW Diesel 1997. It is over revving when idle. Anyone any
ideas what is wrong?

Watchdog just had their latest report on the Renault Clio 2 bonnet-popping
saga.
The Renault UK Head of PR (for ten years IIRC) has resigned and turned
whistleblower. He says they've known about the problem for a long time and

have a Citroen ZX 1.9D (no turbo). Aux pulley tensioner siezed, taking out
the belt. I can't get replacement parts till Tuesday, after the bank
holiday.
Battery is fully charged, and I have a charger.

Assuming the Focus ST is as good as is claimed, why are there so many low
mileage ST2/ST3s up for sale?
I was quite surprised at how many I found on Auto Trader, all with less than
15,000 miles, most with less than 10,000 miles.

Can anyone help?
I have a Vreg (99) Mondeo Zetec, the 3 fob key central locking doesnt
seem to work on the 1st press, when locking and unlocking, it takes
about ten press before i can get it to lock. So i now use the key in

My '73 MGB failed its MOT today.
Tester said that there is play in the inner track rod end joints. This
steering rack has done less that a couple of thousand miles, the rubbers
etc. are all in as new condition.

thought that I'd save time and get a grease monkey to do my oil change,
semi-sythetic Mobil 10-40 oil and filter for £25. Apart from the oil on the

Background first. A mate of mine drives (as I do) a Honda Insight. A few

tyres. At his MOT recently, the car failed with exposure of the ply or cord.
That got me thinking.

My for Mondeo 1.8l decided that it wouldn't turn over yesterday
morning. The central locking is working fine, the interior light works
fine, but when I turn the key nothing happens, there is no noise from
the engine or the ignition (i.e. no clicking) it just seems dead. I

I have a rattling noise when the car is idling, and as the car
accelerates it starts to power away and then power drops right off,
could it be the catalytic converter broke loose internally causing the
rattle, and blocking exhaust gas flow when trying to accelerate, it

Ive got a 99/T punto 60sx which has got 70k on the clock.
Ive owned it 8 months, about 2 months after i got it it started
leaking water in the passenger footwell. There also seems to be water
behind the dashboard as well sometimes which you can hear running

doors of metalic colour harder to blend in, maybe this was the case 20
yrs ago and they have better computer mixing machines now?
thx

how much more do cans of metallic paint cost then? do all manufactuers
charge such exhorbitant rates for metallic option?

On my rather old tube of 'regular' Araldite it says it is ok for metal.  
If this is so then why would I ever use one of those 2-part adhesives
sold specially for metal?  I mean the sort of thing that is usually
coloured grey and can often be bought in car accessory shops?
