    how long to run the engine in car not in use

    Also you could consider a solar battery charger, just connect to the cigarette lighter socket and pop the "plate thingy" in the window facing the sun. This will help to keep the battery up. We have found in the past that, minding something that isn't your own can be more of a chore than...

    At fault accident - should I claim or go solo?

    A bolt on panel at that price I'm guessing? Strictly cash, or bolt the stuff on yourself (maybe have a mate that's handy) and get shop to paint the panels. Breaker will have all the panels you need, might even have your colour, but that might be pushing it ............... But the people on...

    Peugeot 106 1.5 clutch problem!

    Yes as John said ................ You will need a clutch kit when "you go in" price it on E-Bay if you want, but the labour will be high, as its an involved job. The clutch lives between the engine and the gearbox, so the gearbox has to come out. Ask your local mechanic for a rough price before...

    Mini one problems.

    Just keep an extra eye on the coolant level and where it usually sits, so you know if it changes/goes down. Keep oil to the maximum mark on the dip stick until you get the leak looked at. Wouldn't stress to much at the above problems, as long as the engine isn't overheating/throwing coolant...

    how do i ask to move logs?

    You need a digger with a thumb attachment (very simple attachment see U-Tube for examples), this will allow the operator to lift the logs into a trailer to take them the 20M. So if you get someone (small contractor) in your area with both, you'll be sorted. Get a price for everything before they...

    Time for a change (help please)

    Toyota like to keep in touch with their customers, in the form of recalls. But to be honest, most have issues, regardless of make or model. You are moving on from Renault, so the only way is up. For what's its worth, I'd go for an Audi if it's an estate you fancy. Just stay away from the A6's...

    Telemetry and sensors and other remote operation.

    E-Bay is your friend , not necessarily to buy from, but to see whats available to solve your problem. I would have thought a 6 or 8 security camera unit, with internet access would be the most straight forward option. Obviously you are going to keep your mother in the loop, everyone likes...

    Freelander Start Motor Whoes

    Did you forget the link? Not to worry ......... If you had the notion, you could check it with a multimeter? Fully battery voltage across the starter motor when cranking? If so its the brushes, or internal connections. If not its the solenoid or external connections. Brushes would be my first...

    Mondeo headlight plug rewire

    Also had luck on E-Bay for the like, but sometimes postage can be expensive ............. And only 8 wires, happy days ............... :cool:

    Astra J wiring?

    Cigarette lighter/power socket in the back? Otherwise, not sure if you have power going to the back, adequate for you purpose, but unlikely.

    IVY

    Not sure if you moved house or the ivy? Hard to kill ivy, but if its only just been moved, water well and don't stress it to much. Otherwise cut away

    Non deep border

    Not sure of the setup, but can you raise the bed (click)? 20mm sounds a tad shallow, but I could be wrong.

    Anyone own a Qualcast Turbo SR 46 (petrol)?

    That's good to hear ................ E-Bay for a cheap set of spanners, or if the postage is to high, local market or motor factor.

    Not starting, no spark, what to check next?

    Or take the big lead off the coil and check like you did the plug leads. You might have issues in the distributor cap, where the one spark goes to each individual plug lead? If you find you have a spark out of the coil, take the distributor cap off, check the inside for cracking, where the spark...

    Not starting, no spark, what to check next?

    Would it have started to run on the oil fumes from the sump going into the inlet manifold to save the environment? Did you stop it or did stop itself? Would it have lost the run of itself, over revved, these are sure signs that it sucked the fumes out of the sump, and ran on them. Anyway...

    Ford or Aston...

    Definitely need plenty of gears in the 1L But its the way forward, back in the day they had big 5L 6 in line's, with two speed transmission, granted that's a while ago. Back not that long ago, 1.9 was the common diesel size, now its more like 1.4L or 1.2L But its all good, if they only made...

    braking imbalance

    360 - 300 = 60 60/360 = 0.16 0.16 x100 = 16% imbalance = a pass Probably new pads and disks to get things better, but only after they get bedded in ........... If the above figures are correct don't stress
