| Rear Lights - Peugeot 205 | 31 Aug 2007 22:25 GMT | 5 |
I've got a 1990/91 Peugeot 205. I was investigating the rear lights today when it dawned on me that the car doesn't appear to have reversing lights. I thought they were fitted as standard long before the early 1990s, so can any of you think what I might be missing? It's a bit

| Mondeo front bushes | 31 Aug 2007 22:19 GMT | 3 |
Right, I've decided to try and sort out all the infamous bushes on the front of my Mk.1 Mondeo. From a quick look, it seems like the swing arm bushes all need changing, as do the anti roll bar bushes.

| Injector problems after cleaning? | 31 Aug 2007 21:47 GMT | 15 |
I decided to treat my Daewoo Lanos injectors to a professional service & ultrasonic clean. It ran very well before having them serviced but with over 116k miles I thought it would do it good - Big mistake. Fitted the serviced injectors and it ran like a bag of shite! Idles lumpy, ...

| Pay at the pump | 31 Aug 2007 00:59 GMT | 40 |
There is no check on ID when a card is used at a petrol pump at Tesco. If you lose a card and some louse finds it, you could find that he and his mates are filling their cars at your expense. I believe there may be a 'one use a day' limitation built in.

| Charcoal canisters | 30 Aug 2007 19:05 GMT | 1 |
My Nissan has a charcoal canister and there are four pipes: One coming from the petrol tank, I assume this is the 'vapours'. One at the bottom going back under the car, I assume this is for liquid petrol to drain back into the tank.

| Setting rear brake self adjusters | 30 Aug 2007 18:59 GMT | 18 |
I'm struggling with what I assume is a very simple task. When I re-fit my rear drum brakes, Haynes states that I should set the self adjuster mechanisms and then adjust the handbrake. Sounds simple, but it doesn't say how.

| Satnavs - (OT re maintenance, but this is a good group!) | 29 Aug 2007 20:30 GMT | 7 |
This may be slightly OT but I hope of interest to this group. I have a couple of years old Acer N35 with Satnav, using Destinator 6. The maps are a bit old now, which can be a difficulty sometimes so I'm interested in an upgrade/replacement, but only if it's materially better, so ...
