I don't really know wot is sqeaking / clunking but it's coming from the drivers side front wheels when i turn sharply left????????? It's quite worrying!!! Any one have any ideas? Seems to do it when it cold ie the weather not the car. Or after i've bin pushing it through bends and...

Has anyone experienced a sticking drivers window. Twice now when i have gone to raise the window it has stuck a third of the way up. Clears itself by turning the engine off and on again, but a bit of a pain cheers Rob

Is it better to run your engine on almost no torque (meaning you change into a higher gear sooner rather than later) or is it better to keep the torque when driving at around 2000rpm (only changing gears when you get too much torque) ? I got a 81kw Leon with max 4300rpm and since i'm still...

my driver seat is looking a little the worse for wear at the moment the bolsters on the base are starting to sag so that you can feel the wooden part of the frame and the rear part of the seat isn't offering anywhere near enough back support especially on longer journeys. any ideas how to try...

On friday night while driving the drivers side wiper just stopped working but the passanger side one carried on. I take it there is a little arm that joins the two wipers together and this might of snapped? I havent really had a chance to look. From what I can see the drivers side arm is...

Hi there, Had the car for a few weeks and starting to build the miles up. However i wanted to see if anyone else has had a problem with the drivers seat. I have spent ages adjusting it, then adjusting it a little more to get it comfy. I'm still not there, normally i can jump straight into a...

I work for an insurance company, I saw this on our intranet today: "Alfa tops crash list on roads Alfa Romeo drivers are the most accident prone in Britain. Almost a quarter of owners of the Italian company's sporty 147 model have made claims for a road crash, according to new figures...

This has been going on for a while now and I'm going to try explain best I can. Ok what happens is at high revs on bumpy roads, when I am over 4k rpm the engine noise is slightly louder than it should it and sounds a little 'rough' but the engine is fine, there is also when going over these...

When going around corners fairly fast the seat has a really annoying clunking from the seat and it's really starting to get on my nerves. Any ideas or solutions to this? Cheers James

I had a look/go at it this morning. I removed the bolt from the side, scraped away some rust, but the thing wouldn't pop out the back (used plenty of wd40). Am I doing it right? Also, if someone knows of the correct method, can the same technique be applied to the passenger side ABS removal...

Ive had the drivers side mirror on my FR clobbered tonight at some point, only noticed it when driving and saw it wasnt pointing where it normally does, and there was a wobble when hitting potholes. It still folds in and all electrics work, but it wont snap into position as it would normally...

Morning all, Only had my 04 LCR for a short while, it's done 11k and i'm hearing a humming noise from the drivers side front. Initially quiet but gets a bit louder on longer journeys. Also if you drive over a rut or bump there is a very slight clonk and vibes on the steering wheel. I'm...

Hi to all (my very first post!) - I have just picked up an Altea 2.0 TDi Sport DSG today and whilst it is exceeding my expectations all round (it's bl00dy superb!:happy: ), there was one niggle hacking back over the M62 from York this morning (in a blizzard!) - above 25-30 MPH there is a...
