• Rover 25 29 May 2001 (Forum)
  I have just received a Rover 25 1.4 as a company car. It is very very slow compared to my old Rover 200 1.4. Apparently I have been told that the engine in the Rover 25 has around 20hp less. Both engines look the same externally. Does anyone know what the difference is? ECU, Camshafts ? Can I

• Ford Focus - buying used car previously sold at auction 3 Oct 2016 (Forum)
  think the lack of 1st year/2nd year service means Ford warranty blown. Also why would Lex sell a one year old car at auction instead of returning it Ford? Does this mean that car was a problem and that Lex did not want to burden Ford with it - accident damage etc. ?????????

• Car Damaged During Servicing 13 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  for me. She wont be able to do that in their courtesy car. They have therefore offered to pick it up from my drive and have it back there when I return. Am I justified in asking them to re-activate the passenger airbag (baby old enough now) as compensation, given that they have no issues about making

  today with their call centre trying to find out what the issue is as the renewal papers we sent only refer correctly to one car, the Mazda. And it's just reinsuring as the old policy lapses. The agent was very vague initially saying they could give us the NCB until we cancel the existing policy. However
• Buying Hawkeye's new car 3 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  Yesterday evening I took delivery of my first ever new car, a Citroen C8 with the 130bhp HDi engine and 6-speed box. It's lovely but I won't ramble on about the car; its features are well enough documented elsewhere. And, having test driven a C8 for a couple of hours, I have put my reservations

• New Civic - Is Honda going mad? 27 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  I have seen pics of the new Civic and really wonder if this is a wise move for Honda. The car looks like it is aimed at the 20-30yr old MP3/Ipod generation almost to the exclusion of other segments. I can't imagine my Dad working out how the dashboard works at all or liking the fact that the new
