Well if you go for the fiestas, at least you know what your getting yourself in for and any common problems.

Check the battery voltage, should be 12v, also make sure the battery terminals and cables are corrosion free and clean, and also check for the same thing on the starter. Go from there :)

Hi there, looking at changing my current car (1.2 clio) but struggling to find anything that I can run to work everyday and insure. Could any of you give me an insight as to whether this would be a good idea or not and how much it would cost to run in comparison? Cheers

First I'd replace that clip with a jubilee clip, you don't need to take the pipe off just move that clip down and cut it off. Undo the jubilee clip so that it goes over the pipe then tighten it up. It it still leaks replace the pipe, and as mentioned above, may as well replace the coolant as...

Diesel engine runaway, worn piston rings, leaking turbo seals :) Blocking the air intake is generally the best way to stop it, providing you cant stall it. One reason you should change oil and filters regularly ;)

I agree I wouldn't bother with imperial unless you need it, I personally much prefer 6-point sockets to 12, but they can be very useful. Anything you find yourself needing just add to you collection quietly, as there's the chance that if you but a massive kit you might find you wont use quite a...

Halfords proffesional is pretty good, I have 1/4 and 3/8ths set at work and it's brilliant. I also have a bahco 1/2 set 6 point and it's great too :-) Clarke stuff isn't bad either.

Coolant colour should generally be orange/red/green and not murky or have oils sat on top. Engine oil should generally be light to dark amber (depending on age) and not black and thin or sludgy, and the engine should start well and runs smoothly. Check for knocks whilst turning and whether...

I test drove a 1.4 Lupo with 40k on the clock and it was very nice to drive and nippy considering it's like a go kart, as for reliabilty I can't tell you on that one.

Well yesterday I (hopefully) cured my leaky sunroof my Clio. Stripped the sun roof out, cleaned off the old foam gasket and applied some silicone sealant. Just need to trim off the excess which splurged out when I clamped it back down.

Discovered these guys the other week, watched the turbo mx5, one of my favourite channels now :D

Whilst browsing the local car sales, I came across a Chrome Lexus :o Words cannot describe how awful it looked!

Engine oil + filter every year or 10k whichever first. Air & fuel filter as required and spark plugs as required.

When I was looking for my first car, the VW Lupo was the cheapest to insure by miles for some reason, and the 1.4 is quite nippy too ;). My best quotes also came direct from the Liverpool Victoria website, so I would give them a shot.

Grid 2 and Anno 2070

Yes that tap should be fine so long as you don't need the thread to go to the very bottom. The ratchet tap handle you linked is great, so long as you have the room to use it.

Im going to say 1969 mustang fastback :p

Well got a Edwin Jagger De89L for crimbo. Took it for its first spin this morning, crikey! Best shave ever, I could barely feel it shaving, I had to double check :p My closest shave to date as well, was using a Gillette sensor beforehand.

I'm still running an e7400 at stock, 4gb ram and just recently my 1gb 4870 died, and I'm only just thinking about upgrading :D And probably with just a decent gpu and a q6600 or higher :p

Merry Christmas, and a happy new year! :D
