Recommend me a car cover by Krycek
I'm going to leave my car for a few months as I'm out the country. Can anyone recommend a good car cover to use while I'm gone? It's a 2002 Golf, but a universal one will do! Thanks

Peugeot 106 fuel gauge by Hiram
I have a 98 Peugeot 106 which I have just bought to run backwards and forwards to work. The fuel gauge doesn't work - I'd like to see if I can fix it. Where should I start my fault finding? I've have had a look at the fuses, can't see anything wrong. I assume the tank sender will be ok, could it be a broken wire from the tank?

Mk 2 Golf - Oil light on by DavidA
Hi I have an old (1989) Mk 2 Golf 1600 Auto that has done 130k miles. Sometimes while driving the oil pressure warning light comes on dimly or full on, and then goes off again. Also, the head lights and dash lights often dim at the same time that the oil light comes on. The oil light also comes on sometimes when the headlights are off. Please can someone advise me what to check (apart from the...

Astra engine noise? by asahartz
My brother-in-law has a noise from his 2000 W-plate Astra 1.6 engine that I can't identify. I'd describe it as a light clattering which only appears when the engine is picking up revs - it doesn't happen at any set engine speed or if I raise the speed gently, but when the engine accelerates. I couldn't identify for definite where it is coming from either, but it does seem to be from the upper...

205 1.1 Compression problem by [email protected]
I just bought a really tidy 36,000 mile G-reg 205 1.1 (TU engine) for a very low price, because the cambelt had gone. I've had the head off and replaced all the exhaust valves, plus two of the inlets. All the valves ground in nicely and I crack-tested the head before that - with a Molyslip 3-pack aerosol kit and it was AOK. Not warped at all either. Now that I've put the head back on, with a...

Oil for old Astra by Gareth Magennis
Hi, ever since I bought my Mk3 Astra, petrol 1.4, 135,000 miles now, I've been using Castrol GTX for High Mileage Cars. I change oil and filter regularly, due for a change now really. Is this "specially for old motors" oil good stuff, or am I just another one of those dumb consumers taken in by the hype?

99 Avensis 1.8 funnies? by T i m
Hi All, A mate is trying to sort an Avensis, if you slowly take the revs up to about 3k it starts dropping and rasing it's revs, like a boy racer would, revving it at the lights? ;-( He's scoped the injectors and they are definatly cutting in and out (with the drop / raise in revs). The camshaft sensor checks out ok, as did the map and throttle

Ford 1.4 TDCi cambelt by mike
I've acquired a Ford Fusion with 89000 on the clock. The Ford Service Checksheet gives 150,000 or ten year to renew the cam belt. Is this a realistic target or should I be looking to renew it sooner. Mike

Curious tyre sqeal yesterday by Dave Baker
Headed off to the lake at 7am yesterday to persecute some carp at which I failed miserably and only managed to catch a couple of skimmer bream. When it went dead mid afternoon as the temperature soared I called it a day and drove home. On the way back the tyres started squealing like stuck pigs on left handers at quite modest cornering speeds. Ok maybe not modest for Granny Walton but modest...

"Summer" screenwash additive by John[_13_]
Is there such a thing? - it just strikes me as a bit wasteful to have a spirit loaded additive when it isn't necessary.
