  (perhaps an air leak?). I have been using the accelerator to keep the revs at about 1000-1200rpm as soon as it starts to stop it from automatically stalling itself, which I believe occurs at about 700rpm, am I likely to cause any harm doing this (thinking lack of lubrication around the turbo

  up Continental's claims too, with an easy 50mpg obtainable (this with an automatic 'box). This wonderful ride compliance comes with a cost, though, and that is the handling, which is perfectly safe and progressive, but not exactly razor-sharp.  I don't mind that at all, because the tyres

  Last Septembe I bought a 12 Plate Seat Leon 1.6 Economtive. After a short while the engine started cutting out on me (not the normal automatic stop/start). Every time I took it in to the dealer, I was told that the fault was registering as a sensor fault. They never changed the sensor

• Hidden insurance costs 26 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  realised that my certificate of insurance didn't cover the period for which I needed road tax. So, I phoned my insurers to ask when I would receive my next certificate. They said 7 to 10 days after the automatic renewal date of the 28th. I could get it quicker, however, if I paid a £9 fee for them

  I have had my Jazz iShift for 1 month now. I previously had the Jazz CVT. I read the reports about this type of automatic and was somewhat apprehensive. I test drove the ishift and I felt that yes it was different but I could get use to it. The first few days were disconcerting. It was very
