I've just bought an 05 TDCI Fiesta about 6 weeks ago but when in fifth with very light throttle or light throttle going up hill at around 50mph, you can feel the car judder. It goes away if you either ease up on the throttle or push it down a little further. It appears to be there in fourth too...

It's come around to changing my car for something more economical for the 100 mile round commute I do every week day. At the moment I drive a 1.6 petrol Focus, which I get up to 40MPG out of but it's still a £60+ a week in fuel so have been looking at alternatives. One that kept cropping up...

I drive a 1.6 Mk1 Ford Focus and was driving to work about a week ago and when I was braking suddenly, my oil pressure light was flashing up very briefly. I checked the oil and found I only had a litre of oil in the car :Cry: Engine seemed fine with no unusual noises so I topped the oil up and...

On Monday night, a Citroen Saxo rolled down the hill outside my house into the front of my Ford Focus. It only rolled about 8 feet but it rolled down nonetheless :Angryfire There doesn't appear to be any visible damage but I'm not sure if it's caused my air con to stop working. It hasn't been...

I have an old M reg VW Polo that looks like it's ready for the scrap yard unless anyone has any ideas. It's a 1.3 petrol and it has lost all power. It turns over first time every time but pulling away it will either stall or it has no power. When I drove it, I had my foot flat to the floor in...

I have a Belkin cable router being used in a shared house and one of the girls upstairs is constantly downloading slowing the internet right down for everyone else. I've booted her off a few times but can't keep her off constantly and dropping subtle hints all the time hasn't helped any...

I've just moved into a new place and a cable modem has been left here. It's still connected to the internet and works fine. Question is, if I change it for a wireless cable router, do I need to know the login details? Or should it just work? If not, I have an ADSL wireless router that was...

My girlfriend bought an old Fiesta in September and sold it a couple of weeks later. She handed over the V5 and everything but the guy she sold it to never sent away to get it updated. Weeks later she gets a parking ticket sent to her house. That all gets sorted. She then gets a letter...

Found out I was due an upgrade today for my mobile phone contract so went to the nearest O2 shop to see what I could haggle out of them. Now, I'm only on a cheap contract so expected to have to haggle hard but didn't think it would be a problem with the phone bill I had last month (through...

Well, you would think a lot of care would have been taken in constructing them by someone knowledgeable.... wouldn't you? This isn't so much a rant than something some of you might like to know. Leema is the brand in question here. I work for a company that basically started off designing...

Has anyone got any booking codes for this? Girlfriend is after it to save money on MY birthday present :p

I've got a Sky+ box that has had an unfortunate incident with some lighting this afternoon. It appears to have damaged tuner input 1 (the main tuner) but tuner 2 is working fine and picks up a signal whereas tuner 1 doesn't. It's an Amstrad box and the tuners appear to be inside two small...

Has anyone setup their PC to triple boot XP, Linux and OSX? Quite interested in trying it after seeing a friend's PC running Mac. Been looking around the net for a good guide to do it but not finding too many. I'm not quite sure which version of Mac OSX I should be looking for to run on PC...

I've just had a letter from a debit finance collections company saying I owe them £80 and have 10 days to respond before the matter is passed on to the debt recovery department. Apparently I've had numerous letters about the matter but they all went to an address I no longer live at. As far...

Is there any particular reason my Ford Focus keeps giving me static shocks closing the door on it after the end of a journey? I haven't changed the interior and it's not like I've been rubbing myself up and down in the seat the whole journey but 9 out of 10 times, I get a static shock off the...

Interested in one when my upgrade is due. I tried one out quick in Phones4U but was wondering what they're like to live with.

Tesco's in Talbot Green had a few Wii Fits in stock when I picked one up this afternoon if anyone's interested in the Cardiff area.

I took my car to a garage I found in the Good Garage Scheme (http://www.goodgaragescheme.co.uk/) about 20 miles away for a service and MOT and it was a shambles! At 11, I get a call saying it had failed on 2 bulbs (fog light and brake) and a seatbelt that won't pull out and that it was gonna...

Been trying to think of something for ages! She doesn't need perfume or jewelery so that's out. Want to get her a watch but she's fussy over them. Was gonna get her an MP3 player but she doesn't want one. Looked at experience days but she either wouldn't like them, not have the chance to do...

Just wondering how many on here use linux? I've made the move to linux lately and using it more than Windows at the moment (I have no choice to revert back to Windows now and again to use software needed for my uni work) and I am loving it. I used to run openSuse but moved to Kubuntu...
