What do I do about my dead Saab key?
The key for my Saab 9-3 has stop working and the car seems to be dead now with nothing coming up on the dash when the key goes in. Also, as I live in Donegal and there are no Saab dealers here where do I go from here?

What could an oil leak from a BMW X5 mean?
I just had an AA test for a 2006 BMW X5 with a view to purchase. The oral report from the AA tester noted oil around the transmission. I have yet to receive the written report but what could the oil be a sign of?

What do I do about the warning light on my Corolla?
Hi, I have a 2004 Toyota Corolla and the engine management light keeps coming on and then going off after a few days. It could be a week or more before it comes on again. I brought it to a mechanic and he said that it was a problem with the oil pressure release valve and he flushed out the system and replaced the oil, but the light still came on. He said that he was onto Toyota and it said it was not a major problem. What do you think?

Is there an issue with the Kia Sorento's suspension?
Hi, I recently bought the current model Kia Sorento (1,000km on the clock). It's a very nice looking vehicle. I have a similar issue as Ciaran has reported. There is a large bang travelling through the doors when going over road humps.
The clearance between the suspension plate and the rubber dampers is approximately 25- to 30mm. I feel that there is not much room for the suspension to move before touching the dampers hence large bang when hitting road humps. I have reported the matter to Kia Motors and await their reply. In the meantime if anything comes through your way please do inform me. Thanks

My Skoda Octavia's engine is cutting out. Why?
My Skoda Octavia is losing power after each gear change. When putting my foot on the accelerator revs go down to below 500rpm and the engine cuts out, and then restarts, but doesn't feel right. What could be wrong?

What's the problem with my Skoda Octavia?
Hi, I have a Skoda Octavia that has problems starting. It turns on but has no power until it has warmed up, which takes a couple of minutes. If you try to drive it bunny hopped. Took it to garage where they changed the cold start, but still didnt work. Had an auto electrician on it, no problems detected. Now it wont start at all.
Any ideas?
