| Head Gasket Problems |

| Fuel Type |
Petrol |
| Question: |
| My car miss-fires on starting but only for a while
(just after it has warmed up a little, choke still on) then runs ok. the radiator often needs
bleeding to release build up air in the system (a large amount) no visible signs of water in
the oil and no real signs of water at the exhaust. Is it possible the head gasket is only
slightly damaged, hence a damp plug on start up? Any thoughts, checks that can be done to
eliminate this? Thanks for any advise.....!!!!!!! |

| Question: |
My car is making a noise and I'd like to know
what's causing it!
My car started making a high pitched squeeling noise about 2 days ago, its coming from the
drivers side in the front. It started off being just an occasional noise but now it is
constant. My first thought was that it's the brakes, but I've never heard this sound before
so I just want to find out what it could be. Any help would be welcome. |
