As I was with Admiral and the girlfriend was with Elephant (same company) and our renewals were due in the same month we decided to get a quote for a multi-car policy, I wasn't really expecting much but thought if it saves £100 between us its better than nothing. Have to say I was pretty...

I have been meaning to put these guys up one here for a while now. The first time I went there was with the Puma as I had a concern over a clicking noise from the front of the car, they took the car in got a MOT tester to check it over and found nothing at fault (it was just me) all without...

OK so my puma keeps leaking oil from the rocker cover. The gasket was changed approx 7 months before I got the car but was leaking a bit when I picked it up. Then it was replaced when the cambelt was done, all well for a few months the started leaking again. Then me and my dad changed it...

Hi, Currently got 205/40/17 tyres on my 17" OZ wheels. The car sticks to the road like glue but I dont really like the increased 'Tramlining' you get with the wider tyres. Just found some 195/40/17 tyres, would they fit OK on 7J rims? Didnt even know you could get them...

My standard middle section is rusting away so I have decided I might as well replace everything from the cat back. Can anyone recommend a cheapish system that's not too loud? I just want something a little louder than standard. Thanks

Hi, Going to start applying rust protection to my arches sills e.t.c as the bad weather has brought a few bubbles of rust through here and there. Just wanted to know what the best solution was? I know Waxoyl is a good rust killer so would that and then a coat of under-seal do the trick? Or is...

Is it the norm for Zetecs to sounds a little 'Tappy' for the first few mins of driving when you start on a cold morning? Just cold thick oil needing time to make it to the top end? Also I will be doing another oil change next week and want to know if I should stick to 5w30 or use 5w40 like...

Went to remove a wishbone today only to find a completely rounded off T50 head on the pinch bolt. I didn't even try and get it off as I knew I would never get it back on so have ordered two new bolts. I know these are a common 'Pain' to get off so just wondering if anyone has experience with...
