I put dodgy diesel in my SEAT Ibiza...
Dodgy diesel was put into a 1.2 SEAT Ibiza, which stopped on the road. The car was towed to a garage where the diesel tank was cleaned out, but the car would not start so next step is to get a pump. Would it be a bad idea to get a second hand pump instead of a new one and in your opinion should this solve the problem?

Why is my check coolant alarm on?
The check coolant alarm in my Skoda Roomster is coming on almost every time I start my car - ever since I got it serviced and had the timing belt and water pump replaced. The coolant tank is full, even when I check it from stone cold. What would this be caused by?

I have a Nissan Micra that is a 2004 model; it's only done 40,000 miles on the clock and I have been told l need a new timing chain, which will cost me around £600. I am just wondering if it's worth repairing or am l better off buying a new but different car as l have heard there's a lot of faults with Nissan Micra and Note.
