• Need a Motorway estate to replace my 03? Focus est 14 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  weekend on the M1/A1. (Oh joy). The little focus isn?t really in it?s element here; it?s a bit noisy, vibrates a bit too much, and the journey is a bit more tiring than I think it needs be. I initially had the car given the once over; and it needed rear shocks, a wheel bearing and tyres: this helped

• FIAT Panda 4x4 (2005 - ) - The Great Tyre Experiment 28 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  season tyres marked M+S (no, not Marks and Spencer) to give a bit of 4x4 credibility. I have chosen Hankook Centum H720's from mytyres, based on the reviews that the website provides. They are a good looking uni-directional tyre so handling may even improve in adverse conditions. Fitted locally

• Ford Factory fitted bluetooth kit 21 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a Ford S-Max and would like to change my head unit to an aftermarket head unit for more features. My only question concerns that fact that my car has factory fitted bluetooth so that my mobile phone hooks up with the car and all calls go through the stereo and integral microphone. I

• Driving in the 90s and 100s 20 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  of her BMW and being stopped by a lady to return it . I am all for keeping old folks mobile but surely we should have some sort of more stringent test 's for the over 80's and not leave it to purely to them to decide when it is time to give up.
• L driver cheaper insurance loophole? 15 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  I've acquired a moped with a V5, for free. It doesn't run, but I think could be made to, but that 's incidental. My daugher will be 16 soon. I thought about getting a TP only policy for the moped, which will then give her a year's no claims bonus when she comes to drive for the first time a year
• Overheating Punto 24 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Mk 1 - 8 valve. My wife?s Punto overheated today. She was using it locally, no traffic jams, so what made it overheat? The only thing I can imagine is the thermostat stuck shut. The engine got so hot that the plastic lugs holding the cambelt cover to the engine have melted. Car was running fine
• Aberrant hybrid styling 3 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  -placed 6-cylinder? Citroen did something similar by adopting for the Light 15's last couple of years of production the big bootlid originally fitted to the Slough-assembled RHD cars. It wasn't all that bad but ruined the Light 15's lines. And there was a truly grotesque aftermarket boot some people
• Omega 2.0 Eco, DOHC. Smoke in engine bay 15 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  (smells like oil fumes), coughs and stops. Unable to find exactly where fumes are from but looks to be in the direction of the EGR valve? The odd thing is that it will run OK for a short time then it?s as if something is letting go of pressure. That?s when the above happens? Any ideas? Please
• Mondeo Euro III/IV diesel 13 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  After 2 very pleasant periods of Mondeo ownership I foolishly thought I?d try something smaller as like most people I spend most of my time on my own in the car. So I bought s Focus ? a 2.0ltr petrol 2 door Zetec. Well I know these cars get a good write up but I just don?t like it. So now I?m

  Car: Megane Mk1 2.0 8v with s\s exhaust system & Inductions kit. Hi Any ideas on this would be gratefully recivied, as it's a very inconsistent problem. My megane has twice recently (once when hot once when cold) started dropping power after it's been taken above 4k RPM, to the point where
• Motorway Gantry Signs 13 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  to repeat 2 messsages: 1. To say that in mist, spray, twilight, dipped headlights are required . I can\'t believe how many people either will not switch on at all ( and when 98% are illuminated, they become even harder to see) and then when they do insist on using parking lights until there\'s pitch

• Warning - impersonating an official 19 May 2004 (Forum)
  As there are many threads relating to complaints to garages, shops etc, I feel that it is prudent to point out a little paragraph in a Which? report that I read at my dad\'s - I am not sure if it is this month\'s or the exact content. However, the summary of it was that someone had complained
• keeper/owner 24 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  A post by Volvoman yesterday made me wonder: As the DVLA website states, the V5 shows only the registered keeper of the vehicle, and that person is not necessarily the vehicle?s legal owner. If a car is bought new from a dealer, and paid for outright, without finance, then there will be a bill
