Wheel bolts
Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:30:38 GMT
I've fitted 5mm spacers to my BMW fronts so the inside edges don't rub on

Thermostat?
Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:17:58 +0000
Ok,
After a couple of weeks, the lower radiator pipe is still freezing cold
after driving about 8 miles through traffic in this cold weather. Top
pipe roasting hot.
And yet bizarrely, I can return to my car half an hour later and the

Why does mondeo rev on its own when turning full lock?
Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:54:39 -0800 (PST)
Revs up to about 2000 rpm for a moment and then drops down again. The

off with a bit of accelerator or none at all. Very difficult at
monuvering speeds. ...
