failing

I have had a developing problem with my brakes for the last couple of weeks, they have basically became less and less effective to the point where they barely work at all. The pedal goes right to the floor and it comes to a gradual stop, if I pump the pedal then it will stop a bit better after 4...

I have now replaced every window winder on my Espace in the past 3 years and since then two have failed again! I live in dread of using the windows as I know that dread clunk sound as the cable gives way and the window drops or jams in the window trim. At over £250 a time this is a very...

I have recently bought a 2001 Clio mk2 1.4 16v. The car runs great and is working perfectly except that when driving the speedometer goes from an accurate 40mph to below 0mph. It will then stay there an indefinate amount of time then randomly pop back up. I have only done 2 or 3 short journeys...

My 2006 DCI 1.5L Diesal is having problems starting. I think it might be the crankshaft sensor but I don't know where it is on the engine. Looking online there is guidance for Mk2 but nothing for the mk3, 2nd from newest shape. I also have an injector fault which shows up at 2500 revs or if I...

Following on from a previous thread,would a live data check show up and tell me which of my injectors is on its way out?As the local garage I use said they would do a live data check free of charge as the car seems to missfiring on tickover and the engine is knocking when accelerating,but fine...

The dashboard in the car is sometimes blinking on and off, sometimes it goes completely dark, sometimes it just fades. It does this at 60mph and it does it while you're sitting in traffic. Figures like the fuel range go crazy and obviously can't be trusted. The rest of the car seems to work...

Hi all, never given this much thought until recently. I had a cambelt and water pump replacement on my kangoo 1.5 dci just over two years or 25,000 miles ago. It is now leaking at the water pump area. We go to all of this trouble to avoid the dreaded cambelt fail etc, in the hope that it will...

I have only had my Espace for 9 months and in that time three window mechanisms have failed - on three diffferent windows. The first was on the front passenger door, then a rear passenger door and now the other prear passenger door - this time the car was parked but the next day the window had...

Hi, For the past few weeks the O/S rear brake has been sticking. I have been short on time and was only driving short distances so just ignored it. Sometimes it would free up within short distance, other times I could feel the heat from the wheel when walking past! Anyway, it was in for MOT...

Hi, my Renault traffic won't start unless I give it a push. This happens around 1 out of every 3 times I try to start the van. Once the van is running, I have no problems. My local mechanic cannot seem to figure out the problem. Im not sure it this has anything to do with the problem but I...

Hi, the lock buttons on the door handles of my Grand Scenic are failing one-by-one. First it was the back near-side, then the back off-side, now the front passenger side too. Now the only locking buttons that still work are the driver's door and the boot. Is this a common and easily fixed...
