My 1999 318i has developed and odd problem.
Today when i went out to start it - it would not start.
Lights and power seem ok, i tried jump leads but the starter is not turning
at all.

Rover 214 "K" Series 16 valve.  A bit juddery and underpowered until about
2500 to 3000rpm is dialled in then it runs just fine.  Also when coming to
a stop the idle takes a rather long time to drop to the normal idle speed.
Can be up to a minute or more.  Any ideas or thoughts ...

Can the headlights be adjusted and if so where's the adjustment screw?
I have one headlight too high and just tried to adjust it, but
couldn't find anything to adjust.
Googling, the only reference I found was someone moaning the dealer

Hi all. I'm not much of a car guy, so I was hoping someone could give
me advice. I already checked some of the boards for an answer to my
question, but would like clarification on this. I have a '98 Jeep
Cherokee Sport, 6C 4.0L.

Typically of the way my luck is going lately, my exhaust started blowing
today after the garage had closed. At the rear of the front silencer, the
weld on the pipe/ box join seems to have failed.
Because I need the car over Christmas I've done a bodge repair with  a Holts

...There are many choices out there and the research needed to choose
one could drive you crazy. Some have limited features and maybe that's
all you need...

Spoke to my brother on the phone yesterday and he mentioned his SIL's (who
was visiting for Xmas) new Passat diesel had required 36 quids worth of
oil from the local dealer to top it up after the low oil level warning
light had come on, and that the vehicle has only done just under ...

We plan to be abroad for 3 months starting soon. We have a Mazda MX5
and a Renault Megane which we plan to leave sitting in the drive for
that time. Anyone see any particular problems with that (from the
point of view of the mechanical health of the cars, rather than

The fan control will only work on High,all other settings Low etc do not
work.
Can you give me any ideas where to start with this.
Tkx in advance for any help that you can give as its playing hell with

Could anyone tell please tell me if the engine on a Renault Clio 1.2 is an

A neighbour's car has just lost a few teeth on the cambelt and he's
wondering what damage has been done to the engine (if any).

OK, latest problem:
My 1996 Mondeo 2.0 (silvertop Zetec) has a smooth idle but every so often
it almost stalls and idles lumpily for a few seconds at about 250rpm
before picking back up to 750ish(warm) or 1100ish(cold).

My 2004 206 SW HDi wears out the rear left tyre far quicker than the rear
right. The left needs changing after just 15,000 miles, the right lasted
40,000. Fronts last about 30,000. This has been the pattern for the last
couple of years c60,000 miles.

We have a a 1994 BMW 318i, occasionally it doesnt start, engine turns
over fine, but it doesnt appear to fire, as if the immobiliser is
disabling it some way, then the indicators and what i believe to be
the immobiliser/alarm LED begin to flash if a door is opened
