A friend has a 2.0 litre Ford Galaxy with a noisy engine.  With the
engine removed and stripped down it can be seen that one crankshaft
bearing has moved, damaging the crankshaft - which needs to be
re-ground.

My step daughter has just popped in all upset after the second tyre
has gone flat on her P reg Rover 216SLi down to leaking rims.
The last time it happened Quick Fit dismounted the tyre and cleaned
the rim up for her (and that one is still fine) but today another

BMW 318is or Honda Prelude Si for 10000 which would be the better the

I was driving home last night in my N-reg, 120,000-mile 2.0-litre
Renault Laguna (which I've owned trouble-free for years), when the
temperature warning light suddenly came on out of the blue.  The car
was empty, travelling on a flat motorway at about 70 mph.

Our Mk2 Focus has alloy wheels (as standard) with (I think) 205/55 R16
tyres.  The car (as standard) comes with a space saver tyre, however the
original purchaser opted for the normal sized (steel-wheel) spare which
has the same size tyre as on other wheels.  I thought it was ...

I got out of my Mondeo to photograph the floods. Reentered and noticed
a stink. Thinking I'd walked in something examined shoes they were
clean, removed overlay carpets just to be sure, but the stink is worse
every day.

I am after some advice of what to do about some rust that is appearing
on the tailgate of my Mother's 2002 Saab 9-5 Estate.
It looks like the plastic trim next to the rear light has rubbed its way
through the paint and the rust has set in:

I have a 1994 toyota camry 4cyl...it has been overheating, but the needle
would move up and down rather quickly while the car was moving, depending on
how fast I was going (faster I went--the cooler it was). So I called a local
mechanic to ask why and he said it might be the ...

I've not seen this one before. A workmate recently crossthreaded a
sparking type plug on his Vulva 340 which has an alloy head. He phoned
up his local helpful garage who told him to try grinding four channels
down an old sparkplug to turn it into a tap. Plenty of grease to

I've got a new (to me) stainless exhaust to put on the Mondeo. I'm sure
it needs some sort of gasket between the back of the cat and the exhaust
- it's a 2 hole diamond shaped flange.
The question is, what sort of gasket? I'm guessing from the size and

I've just managed to start my Triumph Stag after I've left it 5 months
to stand. I took off the fuel pipe to the filter and nothing came out
with ignition on. The electrical fuel pump in the boot needed hitting
quite hard for it to work! I've known starters to need hitting but has

I have a 1984 trafic with the 2068CC diesel engine and 3 questions :)
- Where is the temperature sensor located (the one that is connected
to the temp gauge on the dash) While I was driving the other day, all
of a sudden the gauge stopped working (dropped). Later when I looked

I have a tire that is marginal to pass the MOT, and the spare is a
space saver, the same diameter as the others but thinner.  Can I put
this on to get it through the MOT?  I shall get a new one if it
passes, but would rather not spent the money if it is going to fail
