    air conditioning astra 1.6

    I've used the forte stuff before. run the car, windows shut, stick the aircon on recirc and set the thing off. leave it going for however long and sorts itself out. Although I would open the windows when its done as the smell can be a tad overbearing. :D

    Ford Puma s-Reg 98 - Wet driver side footwell front

    first thing to do is try to find where its coming from. The way I've done so in the past is have someone outside of the car with a hose, soaking it in various places. The other person gets themselves in the footwell with a torch to see whats what. Other than that, are you sure its a seal and...

    Empty coolant reservoir - help!!

    looks like the stat seal is leaking. New thermostat shouldnt cost much at all. When you take the top off make sure everything is clean inside and around where the rubber seal sits. Its possible the seal is actually attached to the thermostat rather than just sitting around it. When you...

    Renault Megane Coupe - water getting in behind drivers seat

    Do the cars have sunroofs? I remember a while ago someone I know saying some renaults suffered with sunroof leaks. Cant remember which models he said though

    cost of tyres

    because the rubber compound is different between tyres. compare a michelin against something budget like camac. you're getting a hell of a better tyre with the michelin. the michelin will be a lot better ride, as the compound is softer. the budgets are harder and dont hold the road as well.

    rover 400 diesel pollen

    From what I can see from my info, it appears to be somewhere behind the glovebox. The front that covers it should just pull off. Cant see any screws or anything for it. I would start looking behind the glovebox first off rather than start taking it all out.

    What Car, Hmm???

    For reliability I'd say go for something Japanese (toyota). Good reliable stuff although its expensive when it does go wrong.

    wrap or replace exhaust?

    To what extent is the flexi section leaking? By saying flexi section, I've got the picture in my head of the criss-cross overlapping mesh sort of section. Is it that sort? If its that than I wouldn't waste my time trying to mess with that. Anything that looks like a bodge has to be...

    mondeo ghia mk3 tyres

    I think ash may have himself backwards there. The harder the rubber the longer they'll generally last.

    What can i use WD40 for on the car?

    Sometimes use it on most things plastic under the bonnet. Makes your air filter housing etc look nice and clean. At least for a while.

    Repairing radiator

    I'd also be a tad concerned about the pressure that'll build up in the system
