• SEAT ALTEA - SEAT Altea S TDi 2 Jun 2012 (Forum)
  Hi my family are considering buying a SEAT Altea S TDi on motability. I owned a SEAT Ibiza SDi ten years ago which was very economical and mechanically solid, but the build quality was poor. I gather the quality on newer SEATs is a lot better and are the cars still mechanically good. Also
• Ford S-MAX - Should I be concerned? 26 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  I test drove a 2.2 diesel (200PS)  S-Max today.  6 months old, 2000 miles. At the end of a 10 minute drive the fan stayed on for at least 5 minutes and there was an "enginey" smell. The salesman assured me the fan staying on was normal and the smell was due to the way the engine had
• Peugeot 205 diesel hatch - N/S front wheel no drive 8 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  Hi, I have lost drive on the n/s front wheel discovered after jacking up the front end. Guess this is a drive shaft issue but is this an easy remedy with replacing or not cost effective? How difficult is this to replace DIY or garage.  The car now has 250,000 on the clock but still

• Tesla S - Would you buy this car? 27 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Anyone seen the new four door Tesla S: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/03/27/tesla_unveils_model_s/ Looks pretty good to me apart from the 17" touch screen in the dashboard. Don't think I could afford one though! If this car really could have a range of 300 miles on a charge then at some time
• Ford S-MAX (2006 - ) - (2006-) 2.5 turbo - Wipers configured for LHD 1 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  My S-Max (2.5 turbo petrol titanium) wipers seem to be on the wrong way round, configured for left hand drive. The longer one is on the passenger side and sprays water onto the drivers side windscreen on return to its resting position. Has anyone else come across this fault / design flaw? Can
• Sincerest form of flattery? 21 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Just flipped through the auto express to the S-class/7-series road test. Quite startled at a couple of the photos. The interior of the Merc is almost identical in concept to the layout of the 7; also the rear three-quarter photo, the line of the boot lid on the S-class is a direct copy of the 7

  My first posting so please be gentle! ;) I\'ve (finally) bought a Mercedes S280 1997 4-speed with 95K and FMBSH to 88K. It\'s had a major \"mechanical\" service a few thousand miles early and it\'s due a \"short service\" in about another 2k. I\'ve always pondered about this but I intend

  Hi all, I currently have a 2007 Mazda 5 2.0 diesel which I am planning on replacing with either a Zafira tourer or Ford S-Max. One thing I have never liked about my Mazda is the fact that it dumps un-burnt fuel from failed DPF regens into the oil sump.  Does anyone know
