Caterham are currently offering the Classic with a K series engine which I
believe is a Rover engine.  It seems to me to make little sense to buy a car
with a discontinued engine.  Does anyone know how they are obtaining engines
which are supposed to be out of production?

I have a '51 Vauxhall vectra 2.2 hatchback.  The rear passenger side
suspension is broken.  I am fairly sure that the bottom of the spring
has broken, where it would attach to the shock absorber (see pictures
linked below, both the broken side and the good side).

Anyone know where I might be able to get hold of a Workshop / Service
Manual?
Thanks

My alternator has gone recently on Astra 1.7td 2003 Isuzu and I was
surprised to find that also the power steering goes at the same time!
Anyway changing the alternator hasn't been a problem but I wondered if
someone knows how to remove and replace the alternator belt?

Decided to go to Nissan in the end and get the Nissan green AntiFreeze
and I mixed it 50/50.
Complete drain of the yellowish looking murky liquid, a few flushes
using the drain plug and air relief valve and fill up again. Noticed a

This problem below is on a mk4 golf 1.6 8v 99.
When using headlights or wipers or indicators there is a clicking noise
coming from the right hand side of the lower dash ?
Any ideas what the clicking may be ?

I'm trying to choose a car for about £3,000 to 4,000.  (Something
reliable and not expensive to own like a Ford Focus or a Japanese).
I need to know how road tax is calculated for second hand cars.
Problem is I haven't owned a car for many years, so all I know is

You may remember I posted about my diesel C3 that had lost power. I
had the codes read and they were turbo under pressure and an EGR
fault. You kindly suggested I had a leak. You were right. The garage
finally found that the pipe from the turbo has a broken seal and most

My motor is a 2002 Toyota Avensis Estate GS 1.8 VVTI with 113 000
miles on clock . Being the infamous vvti engine it hasn't until
recently done too badly but now I'm putting in a litre of oil every
800 - 1000 miles . I've been using Halfords 10 w - 40 semi synthet.

I just given my '84 Rangie a good dousing in waxoyl, but wondered how often
I should repeat the job; every year, every other year? She's never used for
off-roading by the way.

There seems to a wide range of products and opinions, so I'd like views
from urcm  subscribers.
Thanks in advance.

Underside rust has got the better of my trusty Micra, though the engine
has only done 49000, so I have to scrap. Which car breakers in North
London gives the best deal/price for scrap?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
