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
moment you try to move it shoots up again. Still does it if you move
off with a bit of accelerator or none at all. Very difficult at
monuvering speeds. ...

Obtaining service schedule
13 Nov 2009 00:40:35 +0000 (GMT)
Silly question, but where would you obtain the service schedule (what needs
to be done every X,000 miles) for a vehicle? I'm looking for one for a 1988
Mitsubishi Colt, where the service handbook only gives the checks after the
first 600 miles, and the only workshop manual available (Russek, not Haynes)
is mostly ...

Kwik-fit and a puncture.
Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:46:52 +0000 (GMT)
Mate had a puncture - a screw in the tyre of his new Audi A3. It's done
less than 1000 miles. Asked for some help since he's got a problem in one

Went round and took off the wheel - it's got a space saver spare so
decided to get it fixed there and then so just left it jacked up. The
screw was in the ou ...

Took it to an independent tyre place and they put it in a bath, it
showed a leak from the rim. They painted the interior edge of the rim
with some black stuff, refitted and rebalanced ...
