The car is almost at the end of its life so a quick bodge will suffice.
When trying to lock the car all the locks come up again. When the
ignition is on, the red warning light indicating that something is still
open comes on. I've double-checked and slammed everything but no luck.

Bit of a tongue twister, that.
I was looking at eBay and saw a nice '98 (S)  BMW750i.  There's always
one or two of these and I'm not very flush just now so I let it go.
But it made me want to check out the model, so I did some googling.

High speed stone from HVG just cracked my Micra windscreen. There's a
small point of impact hole but then a 7 inch crack running from it.
THe cracl ins not in the line of sight from driving but I suppose a
MOT failure.

Today I replaced the front disc and pads on our Peugeot 306 1998 1.4l
petrol.

I am going to have to do this. It was due last year, and I thought
that I would find some place doing it as a "loss leader" before last
winter, but I didn't.
The problem is that, if I do it outside the house, all the old coolant

There's some kind of aerosol product I guess, being advertised on the radio
presently - can't remember the name - but obviously it seals a simple puncture
and inflates the tyre sufficiently to get you going again.
What are the limitation of use and the longer term implications. i.e. ...

After changing the front pads in my daughter's 2001 Civic I get a "clunk"

Any ideas - in the old days I'd have said timing, but you can't adjust
that on an Ecotec can you?
Car runs / drives ok, and cam belt was fitted around 30k ago by
Vauxhall. It was driving ok, so I don't think it's a tooth out, and
