I've been attempting to fix the rear washer problem in my wifes mk4 ibiza, where water is coming from the ns front underneath. Whilst trying to remove the air fllter box, the 10mm bit I was using fell off into the recess between the battery and washer bottle and has now gone underneath:censored...

Hi Guy's, I have tried searching but could not find anything like this. Once the engine has warmed up and I have driven a fare distance and reach my destination, the ignition is switched off and then this horrible whining noise comes from the engine bay, almost like a pump running. Like I...

Hi all. The car is an 03 plate LCR 210 with 92000 miles on it. I bought it almost 3 weeks ago and it was a bit untidy....covered in stone chips, splitter missing, wheels kerbed and paint peeling off. It was also in need of a good clean inside and out. I absolutely love the car and the way it...
