• Where’s the joy? 10 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  like such a verity of cars from 80’s Saab 900’s through hot Peugeot’s, Fast Fords from the late 90’s and naughties to Japanese coupes like the MX6, Celica and Prelude. I’m in no rush as old Terrance is as ever unfailingly loyal and there’s a waiting list for him when I finally do succumb to stupidity
• Second hand car choice - first time buyer. 10 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  appreciated, particularly if any tall drivers have experience with these cars. My dad has a Ford Focus which I have never had a problem with but I'd ideally like something a bit smaller. I'm not too fussed diesel or petrol. Here's what I've found: Golf 1.6 S FSI 52,000m 3dr £4,500 and a 5 dr for £5,250
• Hyundai i20 (2009) - A worthwhile deal? 10 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  not worth the trouble, I tend to agree. But it is eligible for the scrappage scheme so a thought has occurred to me that "she" could buy a new car, we could sell SWMBO?s 6 year old, 50k Yaris and end up with a new car for the boss, even if it is nominally registered in our daughter?s name. Also

  Last September my wife?s Micra 1.4 engine management light came on ? orange light, lit continuously. We took it to our local garage which we know and trust.

• `Respect` for cars? 5 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  the word is gradually acquiring due to changing mores. "the rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate" and "you salute the uniform not the incumbent" Here in Yorkshire, the flat cap and the `know your place` attitude, still alive and well in the mid 1960`s in the clothing manufacturing industries
• New Toyota Hi-Lux 3 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Interested to see HJ?s comments (Nov 22) about the new model he drove in Thailand and the introduction of a similar version to UK. It seems here in the Philippines we are definitely getting the best of the pick of the range. The 3.0 soon-to-come diesel he mentions is in our showrooms in turbo
• Citroen Berlingo First Van 1.4 Petrol 2009 - 1.4 Berlingo Van Steering Knock & Tracking Issues 15 Mar 2014 (Forum)
  the steering side to side, (n/s/f jacked up) the knock could be felt at the centre part of the rack roughly at the middle of the bulkhead area engine side.

• Why can’t the Japanese make a good diesel engine 19 Apr 2023 (Forum)
  We’ve seen companies like Toyota making the most reliable petrol engines around. Earlier they were not outstanding but reliable . Take the Hilux that refused to die for Clarkson. Now we hear about Subaru s dissasterous  attempts , Mazda CX5 destroying themselves and even

• N/A - Close All Doors When Filling Up! 7 Jan 2022 (Forum)
  queried this and was told it was a new H&S regulation. I then queried the value of this as the windows were still open and was met up a blank look. Is anybody familiar with this regulation?

• Any - M6 Toll 12 Jun 2019 (Forum)
  I'm sure their overall income would increase, as the M6 in that area is still an absolute nightmare? Maybe they are just trying to get HM Gov to buy them out? It is high time it was free. But when over 75's lose their TV licence, there's not much chance of that with this lot in charge.

  Some thug (to put it mildly) has hit my windscreen and placed three smallish cracks (viewable from inside) on the right hand side, bottom corner of the windscreen (as viewed sitting in the drivers seat). there are also some small stone chips too nearby, also created by the thug(s). I think
