i also told them that i had a error code p0141 on the car and can they give

Came home this evening to find a strange car parked on my drive.
Collared the driver when she came to move it and asked why she had parked
there. Was told she was only going next door and thaught it would be
alright.?

Just brought a 97 1.3 escort encore from darkest lancashire.
Drives very well as far as I can tell with about 63K on the clock.
I used to have a escort mark II with 93k on the clock,  When that one did 80
on the motorway it

Let's suppose you have a cat C vehicle that's going to be put back on the
road... and the person who'd been paid out on it had had the presence of
mind to hold onto the green new keepers slip when they exchanged the
vehicles documents for a big fat cheque off the insurance company.

97 escort has O/S passenger door handle missing.
I'm not too fussy about a visual match so is the splined axle
a universal size?
eg. Can I use a handle from a newer escort/fiesta/mondeo?

Found the bonnet release lock and find that the
raw noise I referred to in an earlier, and much enjoyed post is
caused by a bloody EFI unit bolted to the engine.
Before I collected the car I read that the 1.3 is capable of 90 blob mph.

I've got a Rover 418 SLD with the Peugeot 1.9 engine and since yesterday
when I turn the ignition off to stop the engine it still keeps running.  Can
anyone shed some light as to what may be wrong and if so what do I need to
fix it?

We've just had our first child and plan to have another in the next 2
years. I need to upgrade from my P reg VW Golf as it's not big enough,
doesn't have air conditioning and has a problem with the gearbox. I'm
probably going to buy an estate as I don't want to buy a saloon and

My '98 Astra TD is whacking out a remarkabe amount of smoke.
Its fine pottering along but under hard acceleration, and particularly at
low speeds in top gear with very low revs it smokes like a bastard. Its
obviously burning oil.

I managed to get the Postcodes working properly on my Tom Tom 5
installed on my Qtek 2020i, after reading your response to someone on
the GPS forum.
As you seem to be in the know, do you know off the top of your head why

I've got a manual tranny, and I'd like to know what gear I'm in. I'm
reading in GPS data, speed, RPM, etc, but the one thing I'm lacking is
the gear. It's a regular 5speed. One thing, I'd like to not get
anywhere near the tranny itself, so I'd like to set this up under the

Hi there, I own an M reg fiesta Mistral 1.25 64000 miles.  It has had
this problem for about a year, when the car slows down at junctions or
lights the revs will tend to drop so low it cuts out. Sometimes it may
over rev when idleing.  Recentley it did this when stopped at a zebra

Hi folks. I'm looking for a drivers side front wing for an '88 Nissan
Silvia. Does anybody know where I should start looking to find such?
Also, any idea on what such is likely to cost if I can find one, or am
I best off just bodging it with fibre glass and filler to get it

   I'm no car expert so I'm hoping someone on this newsgroup can help me...
A couple of weeks ago we saw a couple of cars on a transporter near Pease
Pottage on the A23. My SO was very keen on the look of the car and I'm
