Have currently got Y-reg (2001) Ford Fiesta Ghia, 1.6l 16v, on 65,000
miles, have just comprehensively scratched the driver's door due to an
unfortunate incident involving gale force winds, fence panels and
paving slabs. Looking for something a bit newer...

My mother in law has a March 2004 Citroen C3 1.4 automatic with 2 year
service intervals. She has driven only 4,400 miles in this car since new and
it's coming up for it's second service and second MOT.
The first service in March 2006 at 1,900 miles was just an oil change,

Anyone remember Parsons Re-Paint? A brushable paint for cars which gave a
very high gloss finish and if done right, was almost indistinguishable from
a spray job.
I used it a lot during the 80's and early 90's on many cars but it now seems

My father-in-law has an intermittent problem with his Punto (1996 N
reg).
It all seems to be tied in with the immobiliser and key fobs. When

I have an 05 reg T2 Avensis, 1.8 petrol, 5 dr hatch, which was probably
made in 2004. I understand that there were some changes introduced in
2003. I'm not sure whether this was just a facelift, or a major
redesign. Which? and Parkers Price Guide have their information in two

Hi guys, is it possible to re-tap and replace screws that hold the brake
disc on to wheel hub? My wife's car has started to shudder when braking
and I took the front wheels off to look. Both discs seem OK (I haven't

I'm going to need a new windscreen for my Audi 100 for the next MOT -
it has a vertical crack on the passenger side that is just over 40mm
long - it passed the last MOT with an advisory but that's only because
I've been going to the bloke for years.  

I need to make a gasket to seal between two pieces of exhaust which have
flanges that bolt together.
The factory gasket is four sheets of thin metal stuck together.
I'd thought of using beer cans or similar, but is there a better material I

We are all in quest of true happiness.  In this world, the idea of
true/perfect happiness is not feasible because this world is
inevitably doomed to total annihilation.  True happiness is found only
in dwelling upon Paradise, and enjoying its blessings.  However, none

Recently, I had to hire a car and was served up with a 07 Fiat Punto.
Not a bad car as such, far better than the Fiesta I owned in the early
1980s. I was impressed with the silken smooth engine; you could drive
