I'm trying to find a device like a hard-drive based "cd multichanger"
which has the same interface as a normal multichanger so it can
replace the one I have but which will allow me to copy my entire music
collection to it in the form of a bunch of directories containing MP3

My Mondeo is just passing 80K miles, which is the recommended belt change
interval. On previous cars I've usually replaced the water pump as well.
Is the belt+pump a DIY job on a Mondeo? (Mark 1, 2.0 silvertop zetec)

I'm looking at a car on ebay that was registered in Jan 2001 but it has
a W plate.  I reckon it should have an X plate for a Jan 2001
registration but the owner swears blind it has always had that plate and

I just bought a 53 plate Astra 1.7 CDTi with 36k on the clock.  Does anyone

again. I can't see any obvious leaks although it's not in ...

I have just had a bonnet alarm switch fail due to the wires into the switch
corroding (going green and breaking). If I solder them back on, how can I

Hi- been reading loads of threads on various forums about using the
'correct oil ' in an engine

pads appear to have plenty of life in them.
Where are the sensors for the pads?
