I've a Peugeot 205 (1.4, 1988, 93K) and recently I've had problems selecting the gears. Its now so bad that the car is not driveable. If I do manage to bang it into gear, the drive is very rough and is accompanied by a loud whining noise. I'm pretty sure either the clutch or gearbox (or both) are about to expire. The car's only worth about £300 (if working), so does anyone know roughly how much...

1.2, pretty sure its a single point injection car starts and runs fine, however when it gets to 90 deg on the gauge it will stutter and die, it doesn't restart straight away, somewhere between 5 and 15mins. It then restarts and will run as normal.. Note that it doesn't always fail like this, some trips can be undertaken with no problems whatsoever, we've even got it warm, past 100deg and its...

my Vw Polo's electric windows don't work anymore - first the offside one stopped working, then, a few weeks later the nearside one stopped working. Any ideas as to what is going on? Help!

Hi Being un-enlightened on this subject I wonder what the difference if any between the two are. I live near Avonmouth with its huge fuel refinery and witness Tesco Tankers leaving regularly. Is this the same source for lets say BP fuel? I guess differences if any are in the refining process. What are the

I'm trying to develop a Auto parts catalog on CD/DVD for auto repair shops. The hardest part so far is finding raw data files of car parts complete with pictures (jpg, tif, gif, etc). The development part is easy since I develop these types of applications for an alumni directory company all the time. The catalog would allow the user to easily look up a parts then submit an electronic order.

has any body here terminated a hp agreement, apparently I can terminate the agreement and the finance company will recover the car and I can walk away, seems like a good idea as the car isn't worth what I owe and ive gone over the half way point in the term. Has any one any experience in this practice ?

Hi all Recently bought an old mk3 cav with 1.6 carb (16SV engine) as a winter hack as it was going cheap and had lots of MOT. I am however slightly puzzled by the idle speed. It will remain high for some time even after the choke has gone off. I can see this because the choke plate is fully open. It eventually drops to normal, but if I stop the engine and restart it a few minutes later it will...

Hi, I've got a '96 Mitsubishi Gallant V6 24V (UK spec). I plugged a cheap car hoover into the cigarette lighter last week and it stopped working. The fuse for the lighter looked OK but I changed it anyway - with no luck. I then put the fuse for the cigarette lighter in the window wiper position
