he has been told that the entire wiring in the front end of the car needs to be replaced ...

I have a Peugeot 309 "Look"  (1.3L carburettor (carburetor) model)from
1989 that has been pretty well-behaved its whole life.
It did cut out once in the middle of an A road :-( and had to be

Hi Chaps
I've just had a look at a neighbour's 1998/9 Focus 1.6. It's running
badly- the idle is a bit shaky and it's down on power. I did try to get

less noticeable. Over the last couple of days in particular it's

How difficult is it to make one of these ?  Not sure of the best place
to attach to underbody of van.
I've got the ball/hitch from an old Citroen AX and that was a diy job.
I need to tow the occasional trailer full of horse sh*t.

I was driving on motorway and the power just went.RAC indicated CAM
belt had gone resulting in major expense.
Local research indicated that it would be 3k to recondition engine.As
there was 170k motorwary miles on the clock of the 6 year Ford Puma,

people who work with cars are familiar with the rotten egg smell that
a cat produces as exhaust. this is hydrogen sulfide. i looked this
chemical up on wikipedia  which places it on par with hydrogen
cyanide.
