    blower works but no heat Escort van 2000 55d

    First check the engine coolant level, then warm the van up and make sure both heater hoses are getting warm, if they are it may be the cable for the heater box temp control which has come adrift. should be easy enough to see just under the dash.

    Saab 9-3 problem

    Sounds like a possible disconnected/holed inter-cooler hose. if it is this the smoke is from the engine over fueling and not getting the correct amount of air due to it being lost.get someone to rev the car for you whilst you have a look and try and see if can see the fault.

    replacement key for zafira

    You can probably get the key cloned at a auto locksmith. If not they should have the equipment to read the ecu and extract the immobiliser code out so you can get a key from the dealers.

    rear brakes (ford focus 52reg)

    Just get a lever and lever the caliper. You wont damage the caliper as long as you don't go over the top as the brake pads should break up as you remove the caliper.

    rear brakes (ford focus 52reg)

    Hi, To remove the caliper you will need to remove the two 13mm bolts from the caliper, and yes you will need a tool to wind back the piston. Sometimes the pistons have to be wound back in a certain direction or they wont go back. I wouldn't be tempted to use mole grips or gas pliers as more than...

    It's the multi-function relay on the n/s inner wing by the battery. These stick and this relay runs the fuel pump etc. Not alot of £ from the dealer. Give it a smack with something when the ignition is on.
