Had my brother -in- law, and family been on their own they

Can someone help me please? If the vaccum pipe on a car is split what
symptoms would be noticed with the car. The car in question is a VW

I also have another question what is the ribbed belt on the car, where

I've not been around to post this earlier, but did anyone catch the news
report last week (I think) regarding the M6 roadworks on the old
Thelwall Viaduct?  It seems that, after springing up overnight about 12

I had one of these as a hire car in France over the past few days and I
was quite impressed by the performance of the engine, particularly the

In the recently acquired Vauxhall Vectra, for some reason I find the
clutch pedal reach to be too great when seat is adjusted just fine for

on line within three days of returning the car you lose the deposit which
otherwise is retained for 30 days .

Just been doing the annual round of insurance quotations. The figures
generally ranged from ?330 to ?400 - but way out of line were Norwich Union
Direct with just over ?600. "Quote me happy"? - well I laughed, anyway.
Best by a small margin was Tesco which a number of people here ...

I had a very scary experience in our local Audi dealership yesterday. I was
following a friend take her Audi to her dealership, to give her a run back
to the office, and since she was taking an age, I drove the lad into their
