GT boot light not working. It did work when I got the car. When you open the boot the 'Boot Open' indicator comes on on the dash. I've tried two bulbs and even an new light module as the one in there was broken from prying the wrong end. I've tried spraying contact cleaner into the lock...

Can't get hold of my mechanic today so I thought I would ask members on here, I have 2 Alfas 1.9JTDm 06 plate with 93,000 and a 14TB mito 09 plate which I purchased a month ago, anyway not used the GT much in this time but have been firing her up every couple of days and nothing has been un...

Grr, bloody car. I've had this thing nearly a year, and its a garage queen. It just won't idle properly, hunts, dies, front fires. I have a 123 distributor, new plugs, the cams timings are good, and I just rebuilt the Dellorto carburettors, and it still is a B****! The vacuum on all cyclinders...

A Fiesta has been parked outside my house (fine), however the alarm has been going off since 6pm. 7 hours of Fiesta torture is enough and it's time to silence it - the horn appears to be in the rear bumper but I can't see it or the wires to it. Setting it on fire IS an option but since that...

I cant believe it, i feel like i am going to cry. Over the weekend the car lost a bit of power. I did not think much of it as i need to replace both exhaust gaskets between the manifold and the down pipes. When i had the down pipes made out of stainless steel the original gaskets were shot and...
