• Old VW Polo intermittant power loss 24 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  the car\'s top speed to about 50 mph even with the accelerator floored. This can persist for some time, but alternately flooring and releasing the accelerator pedal (still while driving) seems to fix it. Has anyone got any thoughts on what might be causing this? Other \'signs of age\' and general
• Horror expenses !!! 27 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  costs for various cars and add these costs to the CBC breakdown. I\'m sure most people fall in love with their shiny new motors and haggle about the price but never find out or even consider in advance just how costly that new clutch, cat, cambelt etc. etc. is going to be when it\'s eventually
• Harwich docks 8 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  Went down to Harwich docks yesterday to pick up my imported BMW 320d. When I got to the collection pound, the place was mainly filled with Golf's Rav 4's a few Merc Sports Coupes and BMW's! As I pulled up, two transporter loads of Rav 4's and BMW's were leaving. Another transport company collected

• The Price of Image 26 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  A comment in Steve Cropley?s Autocar column caught my eye ?I see a day when even buyers of ?quality? cars won?t want to pay prices inflated by something as unimportant as image?. He had been talking about a quote from Opel-Vauxhall?s big chief, Carl Peter Forester, formally quality guru, who
• LPG conversions 20 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  a conversion is to fit it to a thirsty vehicle and get the conversion done for as little as is compatible with safety. A Range Rover is a thirsty vehicle compared with most saloon cars and would seem to be a suitable candidate for treatment. A cheap but sound 70's or 80's vehicle would suit my purposes

  likely to be fined under rules which will allow police forces to keep some of the money from fines. The document issued to officials in Mr Spellar?s department last week stresses that colours other than yellow can only be used in ?exceptional circumstances? such as areas of outstanding natural beauty
• £25k MG Montego turbo! 11 Nov 2023 (Forum)
  if there is a fan out there with the money and willingness to buy it?.  Seems even more ambitious a price when you bear in mind you could buy both the ZT V8 260's up for sale on the same website for £6.5k less........
• BMW i3 - I3 catches fire and takes out 3 shops then vanish 9 May 2023 (Forum)

• Talking pictures TV 2 Jul 2022 (Forum)
  The other day (not much on the usual channels) we watched an episode of "Scotland Yard" from 1960, black and white footage of London as detectives solved a crime. Older members may recall this series (narrated by Edgar Lustgarten) younger members may find pictures of 1960's life
• Pug 207SW 5-door - Rainwater entry 20 Mar 2021 (Forum)
  [ I will be surprised if this topic draws many suggestions ]  Water builds up in the rear n/s footwell after heavy rain.  My natural assumption was via the door and a failed membrane behind the door-card, but this seems not to be the case.  My next guess is entry round the rear
• Mini Convertible auto - Mini Convertible auto 22 Jan 2020 (Forum)
  I'm thinking of an Automatic Mini Convertible. I could spend up to £6k. I understand the CVT gearbox is problematic as well as automatic. Did Mini fix this or change to a different auto box? If so what year would be the first to consider without the CVT problem. I wouldn't want a Cooper S
• Montego - a rarity now - for sale 15 Oct 2019 (Forum)
  Never liked the Renault 17 but that Montego is something I’ve fond memories of. I flogged loads of them in the 90’s and rust aside had not one bit of bother. They were much better cars than their reputation suggested, all drove well and they were actually pretty well made once you got past

  My garage removed the front light unit to stick. The roof lining back and since then both interior lights don't work. I've changed the fuse which had blown whch retired power to the boot light s but as soon as the interior light is switched on it blows again. It doesn't look as if he has replaced

  Hello, My 2015  Ford Fiesta 1.0 iitre 5 speed ecoboost has a  groaning noise commensurate with road speed, the noise remains even when neutral is elected at all speeds. I don't think  it is a wheel bearing(s) as the noise remains the same on whatever lock is applied Any

• Honda CR-V 2.0lt Petrol 4WD Auto 65/2015 Plate - Engine power 18 Apr 2016 (Forum)
  This engine is very under-powered for an otherwise perfect car, un-responsive in Auto. I have to engage S and use the paddle change to drive up the steep hills were I live. Can this engine be tuned to give more power in Auto?
• vw touran 62 plate - Taillight glass 18 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  The glass taillight cover on the n/s back wing has been broken. Not the part on the tailgate. How do I remove and replace the glass, I can find how to replace bulbs but not the glass itsself. Any help would be gratefully appreciated as I would hate to pay for a garage to fix it. I can get
