Anyone have experience of this stuff? They're now fitting it as standard in C class saloons, with the only alternative being expensive real leather. Trawling the web gets mixed reviews - with some saying it's great, and some saying it's awful... (Just weighing up co. car options - booked test drives in a 120d MSport, V40 D4 RDesign Lux and C220CDI Executive SE)

Will this damn Focus never stop going wrong? First there was the thoroughly annoying reversing light failure fiasco last year resulting in me clipping the garden wall with the back bumper and cracking it because I couldn't see where I was reversing in the dark and now the second thing to break in 12 years has happened. Popped round to The Gary's workshop a couple of weekends ago to take off...

I went over the auction today looking for a 7 seater. Was surprised to see Scenics going for as low as 6k on a 10 plate. Is there anything wrong with them or are they just a cheap motor?

Wife's TD5 on 02 plate, has had a few issues with the battery going flat. Yesterday, she went out to it - fortunately on the drive - turned the key, and nothing. It had been running fine shortly before. I went out with my meter, and the battery was completely dead. It looks an old battery, so I figured that it had just finally died. I had one do exactly the same a few years back on a Focus....

Hi All, Well, my heart has triumphed over my head once again and I've bought a Lotus Elise. IMO the '02 model' looks very pretty in Ardent Red. Well, the battery warning light came on before I got it home! Despite charging the battery overnight it let me down on the 2nd day. Luckily I had stopped for fuel where the discount place I get my batteries is around the back.

....or maybe diff. Our 1997 1.9 TD Fiat Ducato based motorhome transmission is rather "growly" under load. On overrun or in neutral, all the noise disappears. I rather suspect this falls under the category of "not a good thing" but the question is, "how bad a thing" is this? Is it a case of

hi there, using a voltmeter logger i have taken voltage measurements from both the cig lighter and the accessory socket. for a kia they give 12.1-12.5v when engine is on or off. while engine is running if you turn on headlamps or fan etc, momentarily it will spike up to 13.8 and then go back to 12..5. i guess the alternator might be a smart type which disengages with a clutch if not needed. on...

Hi everyone, Just after a quick bit of advice please and guidence, My car - citreon picasso 55 reg, has started vibrating/juddering when using first gear to pull away. It doesnt do it on all the other 4 gears. If i put the gas right down this seem to cure the judder so im thinking perhaps more on the lines of some gas valve or something like that but cant

The display above the radio & central air vents should show clock, temperature, and the radio settings. For several months it has only been half illuminated - so one side was virtually invisible - presumably there are two lamps behind it and one had failed. Now nothing is visible so presumably the other lamp has failed. How easy is it to get the assembly apart to replace the bulbs? Is it

mk4 golf 1.6 8v 99 auto I have had a weep on the high pressure power steering line from pump to rack for a while now not gotten any worse but I should fix it before it worsens and I run the pump dry causing more pain to my wallet. Can I use anything to patch this pipe or is it best to replace ? I was hoping to put a patch on it of some sorts ? as vw quoted me £137 for the pipe.

I'm changing the cambelt on my wife's 2002 1.25L Fiesta, or at least trying to as I haven't even got to the fun bit yet... The crankshaft pulley bolt is proving to be a right pain. I just can't shift it. I've got one of those 12v impact wrenches which, up until now, has been surprisingly effective at loosening the most stubborn nuts/bolts on both our cars which are both 10+ years old so plenty...

Focus LX 1.8 diesel 2004. Where is the rear screen washer motor? The rear washer motor is noisy with no water coming out. Washer bottle is full. Nozzle pricked with a needle doesn't seem blocked. Suspect either pipe disconnected from washer motor or motor needs replacing. Front washer fine.

A shunt resistor is a precision device used to measure current in an electrical circuit. Also known as a current shunt or an ammeter shunt, it works by measuring the voltage drop across a known resistance. Ohm’s law states that V = I x R, or solving for I, I = V / R, where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance. If the resistance is known and the voltage drop is measured, then the...

One of the most easily recognized of all carpentry tools, the carpenter’s square is an L-shaped set square that is used for plotting right angles during the construction process. Sometimes referred to as a builder’s square, the carpenter’s square is a flat square that is often made with steel or aluminum, and is relatively lightweight. Carpenter’s squares are often...
