Okay, 1. It's a bit difficult, as it's an intermittant fault, but when I brake, I get a scraping noise from the back axle... don't know what it is, can be when I brake lightly, or heavily, but one of my mates has the same problem with his corsa 1.0.

Thought this might be an interesting idea for a thread.......! I've been making the boring daily drive a little bit more interesting by trying a few tests in the Freetrack. For example, I don't have to use cruise control to keep my speed at 30 mph in (fairly flat) residential roads as I...

My "Audio" menu has gone from my MFD screen (bluetooth one). I'm not sure if it's since my car was serviced last month? Also, is there not a warning light on the dash for the front fogs?

Hi Guys, Am still loving the FR even after the mishaps and things. Have had a headlight go out on me this morning and wondered whether I could get some advice on which bulbs to fit, and whether it's easy or not. I was at work a few weeks ago, when I came back to the car at Lunch, there...

After spending loads of time looking at various forums, threads and the ross tech website, i have put together a list of the most common things that can be changed and how to do them. This is just for easy to reference as everything is in one place. If you break your car doing any of these...

As the title really, I'm currently looking at a ~ 70,000mi FR TDi on a 54 plate, around the £5k mark. What should I be on the lookout for? The only thing I know about is the cambelt change, but other than that I'm a complete novice at giving a used car the once over!

Hi there! I've been having radio problems with my Ibiza 1.4 cool. It's just a regular casette/radio which I've been getting poor/average FM reception and non existant AM\LW reception. In fact, the AM/LW reception just sounds like the car engine when I'm driving! I've replaced the bee...

Cruise isn't knocked off when aquaplaning and ESP is working away. I went around a roundabout and my oil light flashed and I got a different beep to normal. May have been a drop in power too. Normal service when straightened back up. It is due a service.
