  Civic died on the motorway exit. Started then died at 3000 rpm. Then wouldn't start, CEL on. Started again then  died, then wouldn't start. So, it will start sometimes and run for 5 to 10 minutes and other times it won't start at all. It has new plugs, oil, air, cambelt, waterpump plenty

  My wife's Rav 4 runs roughly when travelling at a steady speed. It's fine when accelerating - no lack of power and ticks over very steady too. I've changed the coil packs and leads and plugs, as well as the fuel filter but with no difference. Toyota main dealer couldn't find anything

  Recently had the thermostat changed as the car was running a little cool at about 75c. Now the car runs even cooler at 70c at normal cruising and 75c when I am giving it some beans. The garage says its unlikely to be the thermostat as its new, but I can?t see any other cause. However

  Someone I know is thinking of buying a Kia Magentis (after long-running and harrowing problems with a Jag X-type). He's had a short drive in one and thinks there OK.
