    Charging a car battery by driving it

    You could reverse the car into the lock up to make it easier to use jump leads if necessary. But a long run occasionallly will be better for the car.

    Oops! Petrol into the diesel car

    I have an excellent independent garage with a brilliant mechanic. When I go there I always go to the machanic rather than the boss. I trust the mechanic completely, but the stories he tells me about what his boss charges for makes him cringe. Blame the bosses not the workers for any excessive...

    Astra SRI vibrations at 2500 RPM

    if it was a tyre it would happen at the same road speed. As it happens at the same engine speed regardless of road speed I would think it's an engine problem.Maybe a missfiring cylinder or a sticky valve I'm no expert but that's my opinion. Someone will now shoot me down in flames

    Extreme solution to congestion.

    You would also have the prospect of doctors and other members of emergency services being unable to travel to emergencies. Surely a better solution would be to enable traffic to flow freely on better roads, this would also cut pollution as vehicles would be travelling at the optimum speed for...

    Change timing belt on Corsa? No idea if its ever been done.

    get the belt changed soon. Try and find a small local mechanic by asking everyone which garage they use. I think it is better to use a local guy rather thsn s main dealer. If you phone the dealer they will give you a price and time needed to do the job, that will give you an idea of cost
