  from my beloved 414.) Also a *vintage* 1250 cc MG capable of 200mph. I'm wondering if it's the 1250 that later appeared in the various MG's? Big section of landrovers which was a waste of space - even series 1's can be seen on the road still and a Freelander is *not* noteworthy. Other lowlights were

• Past quality 8 Feb 2022 (Forum)
  My recent experience with our Volvo XC60 has soured me. I remember the Volvo’s we had as a family in the 80’s with fondness. They were solid, comfortable and safe and I don’t recall any of them ever going wrong yet from my recent experience and post purchase homework (which

  SWMBO and I made an impromptu stop at the local Ford dealer this afternoon, and ended up taking a test drive in an S-Max off their used forecourt. It was a 10,000 mile 56 plate 1.8 TDCi 125PS Zetec model. This was doubly interesting for me, being able to directly compare it with a Ford from 7

• Hyundai i10 - Thoughts on a Hyundai 3 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  After five and a half years ownership my first MOT 'fail' As expected with i10's it was the rear discs and pads which after the fail, were replaced by me for 50 quid. Actually, five years isn't bad considering rear brakes are a weak item with these cars but my MGB has gone fifty years without

  So I have a 2010 Cooper S, and today the AC stopped blowing cold air. It seemed to work fine last night, but today just blew hot air. The AC light turns on, but just warm air comes from the vents. Not sure if it just needs to be recharged, or what. I don't even know where to start looking. Any
• Insurance- driving through floods 3 Mar 2020 (Forum)
  Well I've seen some particularly stupid videos here in S Wales of people deliberately driving through clearly deep flood water on the roads and the subsequent completely predictable stalling, floating away etc of the ruined car. I was wondering whether these kinds of actions are covered

  Hi all would like ppl a views on these cars I can't decide. Looking a decent spec (msport or s line) around 13 plate. I'm aware the 5 series was face lifted around this time.
