Anyone noticing their windscreens smearing up quickly after washing and wiping in this crappy weather? I drive fairly long distances in my car and notice after washing the screen it's nice and clean for the first two wipes but after the 3rd wipe it immediately smears up again. I've developed a...

I had this problem on my last car a Volvo S40, got the dreaded "anti-skid service" message on the dash, as all the comments above got told I need a full replacemnt ABS module at £1300, car had a warranty so wasn't an issue for me. However having done some research the module can be separated...

Hi my Audi Concert cd player started acting up yesterday, was playing away fine for about 15 mins then noticed it skip a little then froze at the start of the next track and cd wouldn't eject. Switched off and back on and ejected the cd. Tried a different cd and got half way through the first...

At that sort of milage I would be checking if the injectors have had any work done on them, or better still if they have been replaced. You could potentially be looking at a £1k bill if you have to replace all 4. Injectors typically cost around £150 each can be difficult to remove if they're the...

I can recommend this b+b on Skye Ard-Na-Mara. Bed and breakfast. Idrigill, Uig, Isle of Skye it's in Uig, point F on your map. Uig is the Ferry port for crossing to Lewis/Harris which is well worth a trip if you have the time, Not much to do there though could be a quiet night in if you decide...

I've got an 07 1.9tdi and have to say it's not all it's cracked up to be I think you would be dissappointed with it and especially if you're buying it for economy. I do around 450 miles a week in mine, cruising all the time at 70-75mph on the motorway long runs too. I struggle to get 50mpg with...

I think you've answered your own question if you don't know anything about steering/suspension then don't touch it. Camber is the the measurement of the vertical angle of your wheels to the road. Basically if you look at the car head on if your wheels appear to lean in at the top then that is...

Doesn't sound like the tracking is off, sounds more like at some point in the past the alignment has been adjusted but the steering wheel wasn't centred properly before the adjustment was done. Easy fix is to remove the steering wheel which is on a spline and recentre it with the wheels set...

Audi vw RS4 alloys Wheel Rims & Tyres for Sale glasgow Edinburgh These any good? Alan

Does sound really strange but my first guess would be clutch release bearing but saying that I would expect to be hearing noises with it if that was the problem. Sorry can't be of more help. Alan

I've still got my winters on but was thinking of changing them this weekend, changed them two weeks ago and lo and behold it snowed. As for using them only in snow and ice that's not the point they are cold weather tyres and perform better at temperatures below 7 degrees. Only really been last...

Cheers Col this is exactly the sort of information I'm looking for, the Falkens are also a favourite with the E90 3 series beamer boys too. Was thinking though that if your running 18's and fairly low profile at 40 then that may account for the road noise, with the standard wheels then I'm...

Hi guys needing to replace at least 2 of my tyres soon so looking for any opinions and recommendations. I'm sure this has been discussed to death but I was really looking for a specific recommendaton based on my driving circumstances. Basically I do a fairly high milage over 20k a year...

I get a bumping noise at the back and think it's the plastic undertrays on the swing arms they certainly feel a bit loose and rattle about a bit, maybe worth checking before you pull your suspension apart. Alan

TBH it's a real pig of a job swapping a CV joint if you can get a complete driveshaft in good condition from a breaker I'd go that route, it's still not a quick easy DIY job but a lot easier to do a straight swap that strip and rebuild the driveshaft. Alan

Just a couple of observatons I've noticed with my car and wondered if anyone else has similar problems. First one I've noticed is at certain speeds, most noticably 70mph when it raining, it's almost impossible to use the drivers door mirror because the way the water from the windscreen swirls...

Thanks everyone for the replies:applaus:, strange though I've had the car 6 months and it's never been lit in all that time. I'll run with it for now and and keep an eye on it. Alan

Got a bleep and a red steering wheel warning light displayed this evening before starting up. It went out straight away but is there everytime I switch the ignition on now. The handbook says that I must get the electro-mechanical power steering checked immediately by a qualified workshop. There...

This was a couple of weeks ago after the first heavy fall it's the M90 heading North at Glenfarg near Perth

It's only first thing after the car has been sitting overnight. It's fine for the rest of the day. Alan
