    Possibly a predictable event but a family member had a low battery warning and decided the car, which started, needed a run out. It ran for five miles and died with no power whatsover in a dark country lane. The car, nearly new, automatically phoned JLR who said I believe you have broken

    in the past often tell me?   If it helps, besides 2 minor stone chips on the bonnet, the bodywork and interior is pretty much spotless from the photos. Also I've been told this is a high price but I'm not sure if this is because it is an automatic and some are unaware of the average higher

  • Mazda 6 2.2d sport (2015) - DPF Malfunction warning - worth a manual regen? 22 Oct 2020 (Forum)
    ', so I presume this means the automatic regen failed. I call the local Mazda garage, who inspect it (well, probably plug in their code reader and charge £120 for the privilege) and tell me that the Throttle Body needs to be replaced and a manual regen tried, but this - after already
  • Skoda and Hyundai - Millers petrol additive. 17 Dec 2019 (Forum)
    the (obvious) question ... am I likely to see ANY sort of difference in an automatic 1.2 petrol Hyunda and a DSG 1.2 petrol Yeti, both of which mainly do short journeys with occasional decent runs?  Might it clean the pipes out a bit? Might I see a tiny improvement in anything?  Was it a total waste

    I have a Honda Fit (jazz, japanese import), automatic 2006 model. It has close to 100,000 miles done.

  • first impressions of my new Volvo XC60 D4 Auto 19 Apr 2017 (Forum)
    should have a clearer idea about consumption. But for the size and weight I am pleased so far. Once located the electronic park brake is fine to use, it also releases automatically if you set off in D. The telephones for me and SWMBO paired up instantly. The DAB radio is excellent and the sterio also
