  • Right to Silence court case Monday, and publicity 23 Apr 2002 (Forum)
    times the normal figure! Has anyone ever heard of a fine of £750 for 17mph over the limit? It seems quite extaordinary, if not vindictive, even though we argued that we have a valid arguable point of law, and also that speed cameras are leading to increased fatalities! When MS said we would appeal
  • nissan micra s auto 2001 - advice on what to get sorted? 23 Nov 2024 (Forum)
    fully warm - around 30 mins of pure driving (We've had snow and only -1c to -3c temps) which is leading me to believe it could benefit from new spark plugs too.  At low speeds I can really feel the gear changes but only when it's changing gear from 20mph and under. This frankly terrifies
  • Any - Does Start/Stop Technology Really Save any Money? 23 Jun 2014 (Forum)
    I note with some interest, that several popular leading european automobile manufacturers, such as Mercedes, VW, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia etc are making a big deal of their start/stop engine technologies and that the application of this, to something like a Honda 1.2 litre Jazz  'just' manages

    gate and on the slope that leads to the small wood and pre Beeching branch line - now just a trace on the fields, except by the end of the Cemetery, where there is a secluded wooded area - home of the exceptional tree. I remember them as saplings as a child, but now one of them looks like
  • Ford Fiesta (2002 - 2008) - 2003 1.2 leaking core plugs in cylinder head 2 Dec 2009 (Forum)
    relieved im not looking at a £600 cylinder head removal. Three miles down the road the car starts miss-firing again and i limp home. I check under the bonnet and pull the plug leads out and vapour comes steaming out of the cylinder head top, evidently the garage was right the first time and it is a leaking
  • Mazda 3 - Getting fed up with this!!! 16 Jan 2005 (Forum)
    draws oil into the pipe leading to the air flow meter and knackers it. They could not explain the association with the temperature always reading cold, so they replaced the sender unit anyway, and explained the glow plug light was just a warning which the handbook states refer to the dealer. Once
  • VIRGIN CARS: V'rg'n on the ridiculous 13 Jan 2003 (Forum)
    , they'd quite happily refund all the monies I've paid to date. Well that's just brilliant, considering that they'd sell it to someone else anyway, probably for a higher price due to the shorter lead time. I won't let them get away with it. Any ideas on what I should do?

Whilst on the face of it this is an excellent question I fear this will just lead to a New Labour PC reply straight from the hymn sheet

  • Cuba Fly Drive 29 May 2008 (Forum)
    . No work was going on and I got the impression they needed to cannibalise that floor?s fittings for other rooms leading eventually I suppose to the closing-down of the place in years to come owing to the never ending shortage of materials and supplies. It goes without saying that in the 35 C heat the air

    and accurate – almost zero understeer.  It rode well on low-profile tyres on all types of surface, and was a very quiet, relaxed cruiser at speed.  Hardly any wind or road noise. I fully charged it once (via the supplied conventional 13A plug & lead), which took 3
