  Gents, Wonder if you can advise me about what could be an awkward situation. Just heard the FIL has had his beloved Rover 75 stolen from a mechanics yard. FIL is old school and is of the mind, "Ah well tough!". It is probably complicated by the fact that there is a long standing friendship

  Help Live in France and have a 4 year old Focus Ghia 2 Litre TDCI. When it was 3 years old the ESP System Fault sign came up. Knowing nothing at all about cars, went straight to the Ford Garage that services the car to be told that the part alone was 1700 Euros - they told me to write

  . Now, someone do please correct me, but I think, in the old days, we were better off before ABS in this situation as at least one could control the skid. Here, the car just kept going. What should I have done? And before any cynical old Ebenezer says "go slower in the first place" this happened
• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 07 1.6 Poor AM radio reception 12 Dec 2009 (Forum)

• Silent danger. 29 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  No, not the results of a recent curry engorgement but another story in the Manchester Evening News. 5 year old girl walked off the kerb in her own road and smack into the side of a Prius running on electric. Fortunately it was only doing about 10 mph as it was a council 'patrol ' car looking

• Volkswagen Golf VI (2009 - ) - An expensive successor..... 24 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  To the 'old' MK V, it seems. I have been pricing up a new 1.4TSI 5dr hatchback to replace my nearly 4 year's old MKV 1.6FSI 'SE'. There are only 3 models on offer i.e. 'S' 'SE' and 'GT'. My biggest gripe so far is that a sunroof in no longer an optional extra on the 'S' or 'SE' only on the tarty

  Since cars were developed makers seem to have copied each other and just added subtle changes to distinguish their own models. The latest fad seems to be for gaping radiator grilles which look particularly aggressive. These look like the archetypal tailgaters' cars-"I'm a big fish, so move over
