    Rough Running

    So my wife's 2000 Explorer has 48000 genuine miles. Didn't use it much during the winter as we were using my own Explorer. So when we did use it we had problems with rough running. It's not to bad if you are above 3000 RPM, but doing 40 mph or so and it runs like it's missing on one bank. A...

    Help Heater is playing up

    So my 2000 heater is stuck on hot. The knob just seems to be a little easier to turn, not much but there is a difference. Any ideas what it is likely to be? I've heard that the blend motor can give trouble, but the Haynes manual isn't much help.

    Help please can someone tell me what the alignment (Tracking) should be on my 1999 Explorer with standard 255 70 16 tyres? Here in the UK I can't seem to get that information and my local tyre supplier doesnt have that information either so only sets the tracking to 0 degrees, which then eats...

    Driving Lights

    Don't want poncy plastic bull bars. As for local plod, I couldnt tell you if bull bars are legal or not. As for the driving lights in the lower bumper as long aas they are over 150mm and come on with main beam they are legal. Checked with my insurance company.

    Tyres

    AT2s are a good tyre for all terrain work and are very good in the rough. However, we have found them noisey on road and wet weather handling is poor. We want to keep the AT2s for when the going gets tough, but want a set of tyres that perform well on the road including on wet roads for day to...
