  My girlfriend's 97 Clio has had 2 new wheel bearings fail on O/S front and is on its third in 8 months, has anyone else had similar problems? They've all been replaced and work carried out under guarantee so it hasn't cost us anything since the original bearing was replaced back in February

• Dirty old `soot ball juggling` diesel? - at 6.5yrs 16 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  was for ten plus years or so. But with DPF seeming to rule new diesels out for my wife`s sort of work - I`m looking at it differently. The same with the 2005,Euro 4 - but non DPF - Multijet Van. Perhaps DPF has been a `tipping point` where diesel cars made before that will be seen as similar to the `simple
• DPF-Short trips-alternative solutions 14 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  As Screwloose outlined yesterday. DPF and short trips don`t go well together. What`s the answer for those of us still running diesels without DPF? Hold on to the current car? even taking an approach that would see a major expense such as a new engine- or other several thousand pound repair

• What damage is ethanol causing in car engines ? 4 Mar 2024 (Forum)
  It’s well known that the addition of ethanol in petrol used in garden machinery engines and classic motorcycles is damaging carburettor s and supply pipes to the extent they need replacing rather than servicing. Blocked jets and pipes that can’t be cleared by conventional
• Mazda 6 Skyactiv Petrol 9 Jan 2024 (Forum)
  So started a new thread as I think I've decided on a petrol Mazda 6. I like the reasons SLO76 reccomeded this. Only question is, how does the drive and performance of a naturally aspirated petrol compare to say s turbo charged petrols, or turbo diesels as they are all I've driven for near
