• Renault Clio - dpf cleaning on a renault clio regeneration 7 Sep 2021 (Forum)
  have read that the Clio has a regeneration system that will clean out the filter on a long run, but unsure how this works. I have read that driving at high revs can do more damage to the engine driving on a motorway in a lower gear even though I have seen this on YouTube. I am planning
• Hyundai Genesis - Cheap luxo barg 8 Feb 2021 (Forum)
  Good afternoon all. Having recently separated from my wife I'm thinking of getting myself a new car. Most will know I had a 10 yet old Suzuki sx4 that I've owned from new and it's been an excellent car never letting me down.  I left that car with my wife as it's cheaper to run

  .   I nearly hit the floor.  900 was bad enough.  But it had now spiralled to 1,500.  I asked for an itemised bill so I could run the costs by you guys for a second opinion. Any mechanics out there that could quickly run your eye over it and give a second opinion? Thanks
• Renault Megane - Renault 23 Apr 2019 (Forum)
  Is anyone running a Megane MK4? I am thinking of one but don't see many about despite having three main dealers within ten mile radius. The engine I've seen is the 1.3 tce, as I only do 3000 miles a year the diesel makes no sense. I am slightly concerned about this modern trend for small highly

• 2013 Dacia Duster Laureate 4WD - MPG figures are nice but weird. 10 Aug 2018 (Forum)
  Hi all, This is a strange situation. Up to the last few months, I very seldom used AC, until reading that they should be run for a short time each week or so to maintain the mechanics. So gettiing it checked, it needed re-gassing. Now it's working fine. I've had this Dacia from new 2013
