I need to replace a cracked headlight on a Mazda 626 (year 2000) which appears to involve removing the front bumper. I assume this will be straight forward enough, but I am concerned about damaging connectivity to airbags. Please would someone advise whether this

| Ford Connect van oil pressure?? | 22 Jul 2009 19:06 GMT | 5 |
When starting from cold the oil pressure light takes a few seconds (more than it should?) to go out. Until it does go out (indicating that the oil pressure is OK) the engine sounds like a bag of nails. The engine will then be OK all day long until the following morning.

I worked in a factory where a system of small automatic trucks navigated themselves around the place, picking up stuff from the stores and delivering it where required. The staff were sceptical, but the obvious safety worries were dismissed

| Peugeot Boxer van. | 20 Jul 2009 18:25 GMT | 3 |
Anyone know if a brand new Peugeot Boxer van has headlights which adjust for driving on the right? The handbook says nothing on the subject. A mate has just bought a camper van and is off abroad with it. There appears to be a large wing nut you can feel but not see on top above ...

Getting uneven front tyre wear (offside inner of tyre) and handling not as good as 3000 miles ago. Nothing serious and not pulling but have to concentrate more to keep it in centre of motorway lane. Will wander in lane if relax for a moment.

I've had repeated trouble with the A/C on my year 2000 Astra 1.6 Club. This isn't a request for help, more to see if anyone else has had the same experience. I bought the car in early 2002. I rarely used the A/C; only during hot
