I'm told many of these engines suffer from coolant leaks past the liners.
Is there a DIY test for this on a stripped engine or any other way to tell?

I recently bought a Citroen ZX 1.9TD and as it was very dificult to
start in the cold I replaced all glowplugs, and while I was at it
replaced air, fuel, and oil filter with engine oil flush and full oil
replacement. Since doing all the filter replacements the engine runs

On a modern car there are many controls on the steering wheel (radio,
cruise, phone) as well as airbag controls - how are the connections made
between the rotating shaft and the fixed part of the car? Is it by using
remote control type of technology?

I still have the original factory radio-cassette player which I want
to replace with a radio-cd player, which is kind of sad as the factory
radio is very good. Anyway taking advantage of a Halfords offer to
install the radio free I went down to their shop.

Just had the MOT. It failed on 8.3.1a and 8.3.1d, because of wiper blade

Just would like to know if it is ok to charge a car battery while the
battery is still connected in the car. (Engine and all switchable
electrics off).  Is the output wave of the charger likely to zap the
car electronics?

I've got a 2001 X Reg fiesta, and have a leak in the boot. I've had a
look at the rear bumper and can only see the self taper's at the wheel
arch. Could someone let me know where the other fixings are so I can
remove the bumper and hopefully see where the water is getting in.

Can a turbo be added to the above engine.  If so, how much work is
involved.

After a neat piece of kerb parking (not by me), I need to replace the
wheel rim on a fiest 1.3 (2000reg). The size in the mighty Haynes
manual say the tyre is 165/70 R13. But that's only the tyre (isn't

The immobiliser on my 1996 Discovery is being very temperamental. It
locks OK with the fob button, but when I unlock with it, the driver's
door lock comes up as normal, but the door refuses to open, in spite
of the fact that all the other doors do. I have to re-lock, and then
