  Bought 3 months ago 67 plate, 12k miles. Loss of power on and off with no pattern to it (revs don’t drop and feels like intelligent braking cutting in) alarm gone off 9 times in a week.

• Nissan Leaf - My Leaf experience 30 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  parking brake, released, move small 'i drive' style controller to D and away you go. Range was stated at 82 miles from a full charge.  Pressing eco button increased this to 88 due to reduced power to the motor. Acceleration is "throw you back in the seat" rapid - true 'point and squirt
• LandRover Freelander 2 - Land Rover ongoing costs 10 May 2015 (Forum)
  done 43000 miles. Having had two company Freelander 2's previously I was confident that I knew the fuel running costs and having the warranty set my mind at ease to do the deal. In March however the car needed servicing, the service flagged all brake pads needing replacement and one pair disks

• Any VW/Audi etc - Why do people still buy VW group cars. 24 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  a reasonable car but painfully heavy without the optional power steering and heavy ineffectual brakes till i replaced with Ferodo pads/shoes all round. Son owned a Diesel Toledo 1.9 130, nice enough car, but the heater matrix failed and the quite fantastically complicated job of stripping the entire

  of the brakes they locked into position, the steering wheel locked & the engine stalled. Resulting in a collision with the safety barrier between the two carriage-ways. As I said, my reactions mean that at a busy time of day I avoided hitting anyone else & no one collided into the back of me. Eventually after
• Car servicing schedules, `Benign Neglect`? 28 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  a new sump is required. The same with brake pipes, just crying out for a smear of grease from the mechanic who has just serviced the brakes. Perhaps instead its a certain seam underneath that always rusts on a given model and every one knows about it in the trade, but does nothing. It could get
• Why overtake? 20 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  to the outside as you would on a motorbike. When riding with the traffic flow I kept a couple of car lengths back from the car in front to allow for braking or other avoiding action. So WHY ON EARTH did I find that in those 4 miles, 5 cars overtook me into this miniscule space only to immediately cut back

• Volvo V40 cross country - To sell or keep 8 Aug 2021 (Forum)
  I currently have a Volvo V40 CC that is in the garage being fixed after the service chucked up several issues (mostly brakes and suspension). It’s going to cost me a huge amount. It’s a 63 plate car with 109000 on the clock. It was a silly heart over head purchase. The parts and servicing cost so
