SAAB GM900 2.3 n/a smokey startup.
Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:10:40 GMT
3 or 4 times in the last few weeks now I've come to start my car up and been
engulfed in clouds of blue smoke.
It lasts 15-20 seconds then disappears, it's usually fine, it only happens
every now and again.
This has come on pretty quickly. There's been no leading up to it with
it smoking slightly, it's pretty ...

Mondeo Wishbone Symptoms
Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:58:13 +0000
Last MOT I got an advisory that the wishbone bushes on my R reg Mondeo
were starting to go and the guy who arranged the MOT said he was
suprised it passed ( but then he would as he would likely get the job
to do ) :-)
On occasions I have felt that the car wandered a bit in windy
conditions and last night I was ...

MOT query
Mon, 2 Nov 2009 08:22:44 -0000
I am sure this has been asked before but cannot find anything. My old car
goes in for an MOT this morning, two weeks before actually due. If it fails
can I still drive the car on it's existing MOT until it's expiry or does the
new one supersede the old one.
Thanks, Bill.

Citroen C3 bumper
Sun, 1 Nov 2009 22:04:19 -0000
Using a fence post, my mother in law has punched a neat hole through the
rear bumper of her 2004 Citroen C3. She hit the post adjacent to the bumper
mount and it pushed back over the metal tearing the plastic. No other
damage, just a 3" north/south tear.
I'm happy to replace the bumper if I can find a good se ...

Caterham Seven Classic
Sat, 31 Oct 2009 21:12:26 -0000
Caterham are currently offering the Classic with a K series engine which I
believe is a Rover engine. It seems to me to make little sense to buy a car
with a discontinued engine. Does anyone know how they are obtaining engines
which are supposed to be out of production?
Thanks

Vauxhall Astra smelly screenwash
Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:29:22 +0000
Hello,
You may remember I asked about smelly screen wash in Astras a couple
of months ago. Since then I have spoken to half a dozen other Astra
owners who say they experience the same problem. I wonder why Astras
are more prone to this than other cars? I did flush the reservoir out
and that fixed the problem fo ...

What is a good sparkplug for a 2003 Ford KA?
Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:42:37 -0000
Any experts recommend which plugs are best for a 2003 Ford KA 1.3. I think
it's the Duratec engine. Only done 20k miles but the owners not sure if
plugs have ever been replaced (certainly not in the last 3 years anyway).
It's got a bit of a misfire under load so will start with the basics of
changing plugs & fil ...
