I had recent problems with my washer when I discovered that my handbook
wasn't much use for identifying fuses and that my VW Touran (06) seemed to
be missing a sticker identifying the fuses next to the fusebox.  (It was a
mechanic at the dealer who told me that there ought to be ...

Thought I'd have a look at a newer car today.
Lovely looking car, but my first thought was "Respray". Can't prove it.
But. Still it was nice, and couldn't see any major or minor structural
issues.

My trusty old Cavalier has been overheating. The fan wasn't cutting
inwhen it should, but the aircon was working fine - nice and cold. ( I
believe the same system was fitted to early Vectras and Omegas too )
I shorted out the wires from the 3 pin fan switch, and the fan ran.

I run a Ford Transit with direct injection (non turbo) 2.5ltr diesel engine.
The valves need adjusting but its so long since I last did this (simple!)
job, and also am not familiar with Ford engines so;
1) At which end is valve No.1....the front, or the rear?

Got myself a bumper from a scrapy. Has some scuffs and dings but nothing a
bitof bumper fill won't cure.
Simple question as its in finished form e.g. all the lacquer on it and I

Are all replacement bulbs for UK motors of a standard type and size?
I am looking to replace the brake light on my K11 Micra.

What is the name of the paper\board that they use in bodyshops for mixing
fillers ?

page off at the end and chuck it.

How much is acceptable? None?
Are they a factors item or will I need to go back to a specialist brakes
supplier?

My 9 year old Ford Ka has just passed it's MOT with one advisory:
"Bubble rust starting on both front floor pans front (sic)"
My gut instinct is to get under it with a wire brush, remove as much as I
can, and underseal over it. Would that hold it at bay at all or is it

I have a mark 2 Mondeo, with about 125000 on the clock.
On accelleration it makes a "hissing" noise.
A local garage said "that is the timing belt slipping on the pulleys"
and wanted the best part of 400 quid to replace the timing belt, but

Went to try out the aircon on my 4-year-old Civic, and I've noticed that
 turning on the A/C switch, the air doesn't get any cooler than with it
off. It certainly used to work a few months ago.
Should I get it recharged (how much is this typically costing these

How tricky is it to change HT leads on said motor. They go around to back of
engine and noted comments in another Car KB thread about an Endura.

Just noticed that the coolant in my Fiesta is a bit low (an inch or
two below minimum but way above the outlet of the reservoir). I've got some
Halfords "Advanced protection" 5 year coolant knocking about, does anyone
know if that's compatible with the existing coolant? I'm a bit ...

Hello...
I have a 05 Micra with remote central locking. The tailgate seems to
