I have recently bought a new Corolla D-4D diesel with MMT (multi Mode
Transmission). This is an 'automatic', plus optional manual. The automatic
action is by means of an automatic clutch. However, I am having problems in
making smooth controlled hill starts as the handbrake seems ...

OK, my car has bitten the dust and was wondering if it's worth repairing or
not...
Car is a Ford Escort P reg 1.6 LX. The gasket head is "warped" and my local
garage said it's £1,100 for a brand new head or £490 for the base to be

then they try to start a competition to allow people to go down and
