    ford focus 1.8 diesel wont start in the morning

    I would have your alternator checked out, the voltage should be about 14v with the engine running and all electrics on ( lights,blower, heated screen etc ). Have this checked before you splash out on a battery. If your car starts ok with a fully charged battery (using jump leads) then the glow...

    Dyson DC007

    As above, but you could check the belt that drives the brush, maybe needs changing and the ends of the brush are free from fluff, hairs etc which will stop the brush turning. :wink:

    Ford Focus 2004 Estate Rear Brake disc and shock replacement

    If you obtain a "Haynes Manual" you can read up and judge for yourself if you have the tools and the confidence to tackle it yourself, or you need to ask someone else to do it. :wink:

    trouble starting corsa

    First check the battery and starter motor terminals are clean and have good contacts. Check a good earth by connecting a jump lead from the battery earth to the starter or engine block. If it is still the same symptoms change or have the starter checked /repaired. :wink:

    Turbo for Transporter van

    If you continue to drive it with a knackered turbo you could cause a lot of damage. i.e. oil constantly dripping on the pistons will eventually start to build up causing a hot-spot which will melt the piston crowns at the edge. You also risk putting a large quantity of oil into your exhaust...

    BMW 320CD 2006 knocking issue

    A shocker will react differently with you pressing down on it and the weight and momentum of the car. The shocker is there to stop the car bouncing on the spring, so I would go for new shockers or get a garage to give their opinion. They should be changed in pairs. :wink:

    Renault Modus 10a fuse keeps blowing

    First of all check the wiring loom for chaffing/rubbing against something, if you can't find anything. run your car each day with 2 of them disconnected in turn this should highlight the offending wiring. also check at the rear of the fuse block for arcing etc.

    For any Renault experts

    If it starts and ticks over ok, the damage is probably just to the turbo blades Change the turbo and clean the oil feed lines out then make sure you change the oil and filter at least yearly. dirty oil will wreck a turbo charger, along with other things. :wink:
