I have a 1996 1.3 Nissan Micra which has had a shaking steering wheel
since I bought it a year ago. I have had the wheels balanced half a
dozen times at three different places, and also the tracking done, and
it is still happening. In fact, from only doing it at around 70 mph it

I would be grateful if anybody would share their experiences of Mr. Clutch,
good or bad. My stepson put his Audi A6 in for a replacement clutch, having
been quoted £350 for the job. Unfortunately, once the gearbox was removed
the price rose to £1000 as it supposedly needs an new ...

Does anybody know of a chart showing interchangeability of *steel* car
wheels?  Which wheels can be used on which cars?  For example, do Fiesta
14" wheels have the same bolt holes as Peugeot 14" wheels?
Tia,

I couple of months ago I posted about an intermitent problem with my
1996 Corsa diesel starter. Well I replaced the starter and solenoid
with a second hand one off an old diesel Corsa I owned which had no
problems when it was on that previous car. The "new" starter was off a

Has anyone ever done a test of the effects of not servicing a car? I know
most of the people here will service their cars as per the schedule, but a
lot of people don't even bother with oil changes.

I'm thinking of swapping engines in my Golf. How much is there to cock up
when doing a cambelt on a twin cam engine? I'd have the thing out of the car
so access wouldn't be a problem. I'm happy doing most mechanical things but
I've never done a cambelt before...

I have a late 1980s Mitsubishi Colt that's been having some problems with
heavy wear on the outside third of the front tyres.
I put a new front tyre on in October last year from Garage A.  The existing
front tyre I think was fitted in 2006 (perhaps 8000 miles before) - it was

I have a friend with a 3 year old Audi A6 (2.7 diesel I think) that has had
a problem for a long time now with the aircon intermitantly going a bit
haywire and either blowing very hot or very cold.
Garage is at a loss as nothing shows up in the computer logs (and I guess

Today I replaced the thermostat on a 1994 toyota corolla.   The only gasket
I could see was a rubber ring that sits on the edge of the thermostat and
gets sandwiched between the engine head and the thermostat cover.
Also in the Haynes manual they said to put the rubber ring on the ...

Where's it gone?
Just got back from MOT and want to check things and the damn site is gone!

I went to look at a Honda Accord 2.0 LS auto 1995 115K on the clock
from a used car dealer.
It was advertised on ebay for £990 which is too high but its only had 1
prev owner....come with a ltd warranty and 12 month MOT.

I've seen this car for sale at a local forecourt.
It has 150k on it.  Is it worth taking a closer look
or does it have a bad reputation?
Thnaks.

When a car passes the MOT and a few things are listed as possibly
needing attention but not enough to fail etc. is there a record kept
on a database so that they are checked again the following year - so
that a different testing station is aware of them ?
