I had my rear discs and pads replaced on Wednesday and the mechanic said that there are some cars he can't do this on because the on-board computer locks the handbrake on. Without the appropriate software, he can't release it to fit the new pads. VW/Audi, Mercedes and even some Fords have this problem. I know I can't get the "Service Due" display on my Fiat to go off without taking it to a...

OK. Following on from my post asking for recommendations on a new Fiesta-ish sized motor, tonight I saw a tidy looking VW Polo 5 door on an 03 plate, in a local garage. It was dark other than the forecourt lights, so I wasn't able to see too much, but the price tag said £3995. Assuming that I could do a bit of dealing on that figure for cash, and nothing to get rid of, what would I be...

Guy here at work who works for me has a big problem with his Focus. He got here ok this morning and the engine is still warm now. Turns over fine but doesn't seem to fire at all. What's the quickets way to check for fuel delivery on these, check for voltage at the fuel pump or simply whip a pipe off at the fuel rail? Where is the fuel pump located on these (in tank or in front of...

Hi, Like a good mate I offered to service a mates Focus as I'm fairly experienced in such things. Changed the spark plugs, oil&filter, air filter. Simple you'd think. Started it up and it ran rough (poor pickup through 1000-2000 revs) and the yellow engine light came on. Just like you'd expect if it was running on 3 cylinders.

Magnetic swarf pickups in oil sumps aren't new, of course, but here's a novelty. I was led on to here from another site which mentions fastening a couple of old HD magnets to the oil filter. http://www.filtermag.com I'm actually impressed by the amount of magnetic swarf picked up by a simple magnetic band pushed around the oil filter and even the application of it to a fuel filter makes sense,...

Just got my first car that has alloys - is there anything I need to be aware of, with all the grit and salt on the roads during the winter? Should I wash them off more frequently?

My car share buddy has just had his Mazda 6 turbo replaced, I'm wandering is it better for a Diesel Turbo to leave the engine running, when dropping someone off for example ? He (still ) does not believe me when I suggest to leave it running..

Are brake shoes visually inspected for a MOT? I know they need changing (really) and have bought a set but the car needs MOT'ing now, wondering if there is any point taking it in. The brakes operate normally. Ta, Rick

Hi all. Having finally scrapped my poor little Fester with its knocking bottom end, I'm going to shortly be looking for something to replace it with. Probably around 51 or 02. I'm going to be looking for something else 5 door with a reasonable sized cargo space - the Fester was pretty ideal size-wise. Anybody got any recommendations for something about that sort of size ? I was perfectly...

Hi everyone, My wife has a '99 Corsa 1.7 Diesel (the Isuzu engine). Normally it's fine, but it doesn't seem to like wet conditions - if left to idle, it tends to rev up and down quickly. Similarly it's a bit rough when driving, it can be quite jumpy at low speeds but is ok once you get above 30 or so. Something I thought might be related - very occasionally, while driving the rev counter will...
