Problem with your car?

Re: Problem with your car?

I would like to say thanks to We Buy Any Car. Just short of a year ago a mate at a local garage gave me a call to say a customer was selling a car and would I be interested. The chap was selling this car (2nd Car) cos his wife was giving up driving. The chap gave them a call and they made such a derisory offer, he said the first person with cash to give him what they offered could have it. I asked him if he was sure and feeling guilty even offered him more than he was asking, He said he was happy to stick to his price. I have had the car just short of a year. (MOT and the end of the month) put 30k miles on the clock and its still worth twice what they offered him.

I'm glad they have been screwed, they would even give Arfur Daily a bad name.

Regards all,

I was in a petrol station once when a woman ran in asking whose the ford focus was parked at the back of the pumps.

Thanks Oscar!!

I'm glad I can at least fill up the water tank for the scooshers or I'd be really screwed

I couldn't work out how to pop the bonnet when I first got it - I didn't realise I had to flip the Ford badge...all I've been doing since is flipping the bird at Ford

Hi Alland,

O.k so I'm not sure how to describe this but I'll give it a go

There's a wee button next to the door handle in the inside of the drivers door that had a pic of a car on it.

Last night when I cleared the snow, I reversed into my drive and when I was getting out, I pressed it instead of the button to put the window back up (I had to put it down to see out as the snow was really heavy) and it beeped! A wee message came up on the wee screen where the speedo and stuff is saying that the internal scan had been deactivated...em, what does that mean?! What's that button for anyway I've never used it and now it seems to have gotten stuck or something because I can only press it up and not down

I'm such a girl

Trye Melted !!
Wow...a bird with "Hot Wheels"...

So are you all sorted now Angelic ? no more vibrator sorry vibration?

Well, all the dried up bits of it fell out and onto the floor...I was quite embaressed actually when he told me it'd melted, I'd only driven 450yds!!

Not got it fixed yet...there's a couple of other things I need to get done too so I'm gonna have to wait a couple of weeks before I can get the money together to book it into a garage

Thanks for this thread!!

Re: Problem with your car?

Yes Angelic, at least that will help the elimination process if it is a buckled wheel causing the fault.
Note: If the two front tyres were a matched pair when originally fitted, change both fronts to the rear.

They were both changed last year but I've just had 1 out of the 2 changed. Remember my puncture? Well, it turns out that the inside of the tyre had melted(?!) and I needed a new one.

Re: Problem with your car?

Another possibility (cant see it mentioned) could be a buckled wheel.

Bingo!!

I nipped it into a garage quickly this afternoon and the mechanic said to switch it to the back...is that the best thing to do?
