    Ford Ka - engine light

    To find out what has caused the fault the car will need to be plugged into the appropriate computer (could well be an OBD2 port). Find a Ford indy and ask them to plug it in it will be cheaper. But personally first I would just keep driving the car and see if it comes back. Could be a...

    Astra brake bleeding

    I use an easi-bleed kit from halfords. (about £5) Very simple just a one way valve on a bit of pipe into a bottle. Connect to the appropriate bleed nipple (oo-er) and start pumping. When the liquid is coming through with no air move on. Best to bleed the one further from the master...

    Peugeot 307 (2003) Disks / Pads

    Easy. Probably: Remove wheel. Remove calipers (generally 2 bolts). Don't let the caliper dangle by the brake line though tie it up. Unclip old pads and push caliper rod back in (you can get tools to do it easily for £15 but you are bound to have something lying around the garage to do...

    buying a 2nd hand car

    Cash isn't as much of an incentive as it used to be. A lot of dealers make more from the finance agreements than the car themselves so will give you a better deal if you take the finance. One way around this is to take the finance and then pay it off in full the next day (assuming you have...

    BMW alloy wheels

    As above really but also in the event of an accident I have seen some horrific damage to replica wheels. What about some Mv 2's or equivalent. I am not sure what 3 series you are putting them on but they will fit E36 and E46 cars and can be sought in 18". Fleabay is your friend :D...

    what new car?

    I am a very loyal BMW enthusiast and will recommend an M3 all day long. But for 10k you will have to look at the previous generation E36. Now for 10k you should get a nice Evo Model (3.2). Vanos's can go on these cars and are 2k a pop from BMW. But don't let this put you off it is not...

    Preparing for a re-wire

    I know some of the ground floor is suspended but not sure if all of it is. The other thing is the kitchen has lovely tiled floor and I really don't want to rip it up if I can get away without doing it. Will have to speak to the electrician about how much of the floor to get up. Thanks

    Preparing for a re-wire

    Hi, I am in the process of buying a 100 year old house that is in need of a re-wire. I should have an overlap period of about a month between giving up my rented accommodation and moving in to this house so it seems sensible to get the re-wire done while the house is empty. Now I am not...
