Sierra 1.8CVF 1990. Just found a good one and got it running, but there
isn't a connecting plug that goes into the crank position sensor and wire
cut back to where it goes into the loom. I've bodged a connection for now
and all working, but does anyone know an online source where I could get a
new plug Tried ebay, but no luck so far.

My 14 yr old Citroen TD (65k miles on clock) has 2 problems:
1. Heating in cabin stopped working a few months back (though fan

2. Radiator fan now cuts in after only a few miles and keeps running
for several minutes after I stop (though dial indicates low
temperature, no overheating).
Any ideas for diagnosing and fixing would be gratefully received. I

Can anyone tell me when the cambelt is due on a 2002 Fiat Doblo 1.9 JTD ELX?
Parkers says it's a 100bhp model. Also, what kinda price should I expect
the belt change to cost - and what parts aside from the belt are
required/recommended, such as tensioners, rollers, waterpump etc?
I'd be very grateful if anyone knew for sure as, I'd look in the manual but
it's a second hand car we're looking...

My 02 Civic has a bit of slack in the drivers seat - it moves a bit under
acceleration and braking. I had a mod whilst under warranty - which fixed
the problem but it has returned. I suspect a worn bush on the height
adjustment.
Does anyone have experience of how to fix this?

Why is it so difficult to find a nice black car with nice black leather?
The closest I've found where grey leather in the dark grey Lex, and
Black leather in the dark green Saab, you rarely find sexy black on
black anywhere.

Hi Folks,
It looks as if I'll have the V70 in my care for a while, and it's
servicing time, so it looks a if I need to catch up with the century
and get myself an OBDII scanner. Anyone got any recommendations or
warnings? Would a thirty quid one from eBay (200261153084) be OK? A
twenty quid one (270285521482)?

A long time ago I seem to recall reading an article which stated that LPG
took far more energy to refine, transport and store as a useable vehicle
fuel than petrol or diesel. Coupled with it's lower energy density than
petrol or diesel which can result in a higher comparable fuel consumption,
the article indicated that although using LPG improved air quality it
actually used more fossil fuel...

someone was running their car on some sort of illicit petrol substitute (not
that I know of any) or at least pepped their fuel up with something exotic.

To save a bit of money on fuel, I have bought an old Cleo Diesel. I
have heard people say these may be run on a wide range of fuels, but
it depends on what fuel pump you have? How can I tell? What fuels
can I use? Someone said something about fuel oil, that seems a little
unlikely but very cheap and convenient if true. The car was very
cheap, so I am not too worried about any damage I may do...
