• Corolla Verso D-4D or Touran 2.0 TDi 18 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Does anyone have any experience of either of these cars? I have driven an A3 with the 2.0 TDi and it was pretty nippy but I am wondering how it will fare in a bigger car.

• Meguilar's - any observations 5 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  This, the Gold version polish, sells in my local store for the equiv of £8.67 for about 300 ml vs good old-fashioned Turtle Wax which runs £2.47 equiv for the same amount. Both are US imported. The former claims to be the duck's guts but it's only wax after all and very expensive. I'm wondering
