• Honda H23 blown head gasket 27 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  on the gasket set from an extortionate £380+vat (non-Rover dealer, usual supplier) to a factored set (same manufacturer) at £90+vat. This has brought the repair down to a more reasonable £500. Thing is, I'm really puzzled as to how on earth the gasket blew? It's an automatic to start with, no red line
• Mercedes G-wagen 8 Sep 2001 (Forum)
  Anyone out there with experience with the Mercedes G-wagen. I am contemplating the cheaper selectable 4WD version built before 1990 but still around £4000-6000 for the later ones. I have my eyes on a LWB manual 5-cylinder 300GD but would the 280 petrol (automatic) be easier to live with. I nearly
• strange idle on 'M' Fiesta 13 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  exhibited when the engine is cold. Having once owned an old XR2 that did similar things, I suspect that these issues may be the fault of a duff automatic choke. Is anyone in a position to confirm my suspicions - she is taking it to the garage on wed to get it MOT'd and would like to get it fixed

  Hi all. Just wondering if anyone can advise me a little in my search for new car. I am quite a tall chap so am after SUV size. I also want an automatic, adaptive cruise control and an in-built satnav (preferably one that doesn't require spending every few months to update). Those are my
• All - Indicators 23 Feb 2022 (Forum)
  OTT, but I bring this up because of things I have seen whille out in the truck, and confirms for me that new drivers automatically have a handicap because INSTRUCTORS ARE NOT TEACHING THEM RIGHT.     1 ~ Cars from the same school both coming onto a main road, both have to turn
• Vauxhall Meriva - Shocking MPG 29 Aug 2021 (Forum)
  the engine asking for an oil change which was done last year as part of the full winter service. The mechanic said it comes up automatically at 50000 miles and I checked the oil level which is fine and the oil is still straw coloured. There doesn’t seem to be anything else wrong. What could be causing

• VW Golf MK7 - Strange happpenings. 13 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  For the last two weeks we have driven into a deserted Glades Shopping centre to get food from Marks and Spencer. After an hour or less we go back to the car via the pay station and pay for our time. When we approach the exit barriers it should lift automatically (ANPR) the barriers
• volvo - What is the best car for me? 10 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  not a fan of anything Automatic. I drive a 200TDI defender 90, so prefer the gearstick.    I realise any SUV or taller vehicle won't be the best on the long drives, in comparison to an estate like the xc70, octavia, bmw, subaru, etc, would just be good for a taller driving height
• Vauxhall Astra - 2010 Astra Mk6 engine seized, worth repairing? 18 Apr 2020 (Forum)
  My Dads automatic Mk6 Astra suddenly seized up over the weekend, no warning signs, just heard some slight metalic rattling, drove it about a mile to his nearest garage and it completely seized up en route with smoke pouring out of the engine. It only had 60k on the clock. Our local garage
• Car accident where other driver is trying to rip m 11 Aug 2019 (Forum)
  I recently had a minor car accident where I hit the rear bumper of a car in front of me. We were both stopped at a red light and I didn't realise that after I had stopped the car, it started moving again (like when you let go of the brake in an automatic car). This meant that it hit the car
• Driving with a broken (left) foot 6 Aug 2019 (Forum)
  to rent? We are going camping in 3 weeks, so might need to rent an auto to fit everything in (the Yaris Hybrid isn’t big enough). An automatic car is a lot more than a van to rent, it seems, so I wondered if anyone rents auto vans? I’m not sure camping will be much fun with my foot in a big boot
• Seat Ateca vs VW Tiguan - Seat Ateca or VW Tiguan for Motability Lease 31 May 2019 (Forum)
  Hi. You guys have given me good advice in the past so back for more. My Motability lease car is due for replacement soon. I need a comfortable automatic car that easy to get in and out of and a large boot for hoist and mobility scooter. It cannot be too big as it won't fit on the drive
• Something interesting for £7k ? 21 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  £7,000 on a replacement. I would prefer a coupe or convertible and I fancy an automatic gearbox. Annual mileage 10,000 with daily commute of 8 miles each way. More power would be good, minimum 200hp. My man-maths "budget" is the fuel economy. In my head any car that gets 30mpg or better
