• Colt vs Yaris - reassurance needed! 16 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  out my wife had decided (but not told us) that she thought Yaris T3 would be a better bet. The unknown nature of the Colt (there really aren?t many around here) plus the Yaris T3?s nine! airbags were significant factors in her mind. OK, you?re looking at more like 10 grand than seven and a half

• Classic bad driving 15 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  about 20 yards at 60-70 mph .CRV hasn\'t anticipated this move, is spooked by lorry 1\'s move , so goes to lane 3, without signal . In lane 3 is a very fast-moving BMW which manages to brake in time . Lorry 2 turns off at the exit, not having signalled in advance , so lorry 1\'s manoeouvre unnecessary

• Dispute with friend oPorsche 924 engine! 14 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  Don't you just hate it when somebody thinks that they know everything there is to know, or at least more than the layman, about a subject, just because they work in a related field? I've had an arguement with a friend who doesn't know the first thing about Porsches of the 70's and 80's, about
• Rover 400 / Honda Civic 5 Door Headlight 16 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  What with these cars and their appetite for head light bulbs. The works pool car is a P Reg 416i, which will happily much its way through 3-4 bulbs a year. My Civic VTI has used 3 in 9 months of ownership and the driver?s side has just gone again. My brothers N Reg 416Si is already on its first
• MX 5 Information 10 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  I've just bought a 1994 MX5 1.8 S. It's a UK car and seems pretty decent with a couple of dings but nothing major. I recall reading that the 1.6 engine is 'no-contact' on cam belt breakage. Is the 1.8 also a no piston to valve contact engine in the event of a cam-belt failure? I couldn't find
• Thank goodness for 3-year guarantees 4 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  I was just driving onto the return ferry at Calais on Saturday night fully loaded with goods for personal consumption when I pulled on the handbrake and felt a loss of all resistance. Immediate thought was the cable\'s snapped. Crew very helpful though - I left it in Park and they chocked
• Is it terminal? Carlton Rear Diff. 14 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Hi again everyone The diff on my \'K\' reg Carlton CDX is \'shusshing\'.....not exactly a whine or howl, but it does alter pitch (the \'shusshing\' noise that is) depending on car speed. It stops, or should i say becomes inaudible, after about 25mph. It\'s not LOUD, loud...but the cars so quiet i

• Citroen DS - Any experience? 13 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  I'm kind of thinking that I've got a lot of enjoyment out of my two Rover P6's that it might be time to move on to a new challenge. I've always liked the Citroen DS. My own knowledge is a bit patchy but I know that I'll probably go for a 21 Super 5 as it's by far the most popular one sold
• Another MG ZR post (Dealer and Price) 9 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  for a new one. We don't give discounts (despite all the posters on the windows) so we gave up in despair and went home.

• Hi Ho Silver! 2 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  or marque seems to be Silver. IMO the increase in popularity happened in the mid/late 90's - I especially recall seeing most of the "new" BMW 5's(E39) and Merc E class' coming out in Silver and it seemed that all the other marques followed suit. How many car adverts have you seen in recent years

• Volkswagen Phaeton 22 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  I saw a German plate VW Phaeton yesterday on the clockwise M60 close to Manchester. Absolutely hideous car by UK standards. Looks like a cross between a VW Passat and Pug 607. Compared to the beautiful new S class and imposing 7 series, it looks throughly cheap and nasty. The kind of thing
• Who is David Hardcastle? 14 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  to use some roads, once what we have already paid is spent on what it was collected for. If they were more honest about the budget they wouldn't need to top it up with pathetic "s************s", located on long straight stretches of safe road, or dual carriageways with 40 limits, which you join from
