    Corsa problem.

    i would say its the battery too. if it is'nt a sealed battery, take the caps off the top and check the water levels, and top up if need be. would also be good to get your hands on a multi-meter or a volt-meter just to make sure the alternator is charging the battery properly. should measure...

    wisbone front drivers side

    this sounds like the ball joint that bolts onto the underneath of the wheel hub. there should be a slight split in the hub for you to insert a screwdriver or a slim chisel to free the hub off the ball joint, which should make it easy to just push down and pull out. hope this helps

    Sluggish 3 cylinder Corsa

    plugs and leads are out of the question when it comes to crunching sounds. if it only crunches when trying to change or select a gear, then the clutch could be on its way out. what mileage is on the car? has the engine management light illuminated at any point?

    Ford Focus Auxilliary drivebelt squeal

    ive never worked on a focus myself, but i would say just try a belt. if it cures the problem, then bonus! if not your 1 step closer to the problem. if it comes to a new tensioner or pulley, your always best putting a new belt on while at it anyway :)

    Vauxhall Corsa C 54reg tappets... big job?

    2001 laguna

    very strange... does the car also do this when it is stationary, or only when moving? only thing i can really think of at the moment is possibly the crankshaft sensor, as the ecu uses this to display rpm and control the ignition systems timing, but only if it also happens with car stationary

    MG ZS camshaft sensor

    Hi, My MG ZS 1.8 misfires slightly at about 2000rpm when accelerating, plugged my CAN OBD in and came up with error code for a faulty camshaft sensor. have being quoted over £70 for this 1 sensor! does this price seem reasonable or am i being ripped off? Thanks oh yes also...

    peugeot 307 hdi blowing cold air

    i agree, drain the system again and fill with 50/50. there should be a bleeding screw near the engine block and possibly one near the radiator, look for lengths of solid metal pipes. if you still have a problem, i'd try the thermostat, they arnet dear, ive changed afew and solved problem everytime
