• Rusting rear discs on 996s 12 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  Has anyone heard of rear discs on Porsche 911 996 models getting so rusty they are u/s after a year and 10,000 miles. I've got a punter screaming blue murder about this and a copy of a Porsche TSB warning dealers to expect rusty rear discs, but not to replace then FOC under warranty. I strongly
• Lexus NX - Dilemma 2 Mar 2024 (Forum)
  Hi, I own a 2016 Lexus NX full service history so has another couple of years warranty cover. I’m now in my 70’s and thinking whether to keep the car beyond warranty or sell it and buy a 2 year old Toyota Yaris Cross that will have another 8 years warranty's. With the cheaper service
• Dacia Sandero Ambiance 2015 - Headlight lens 29 Jul 2023 (Forum)
  Hi, My Daughter managed to have a fender bender with her car. The n/s front wing is damaged at the front but can be fairly easily fixed. The headlight lens has a chunk missing from it by the indicator. so the question is...can the lens on its own be replaced. I have seen a number of headlights
• VW Caddy intermittent brake binding 28 Jul 2023 (Forum)
  For a while now have been having this intermittent problem of the o/s front brake binding. Seems no rhyme nor reason for it and doesn't seem to need the brakes being used for it to start happening. I say this because the other morning I could feel it starting to drag about 7 miles away from home

• Honest John Statistcs today's telegraph - German car reliabilty is a myth 10 Feb 2021 (Forum)
  HJ has published his league tables of letters of complaint about various makes. German cars in particular appear to be getting much worse, but what surprises me is how Renault have progressed from the worst to the best. Against the Toyota Yari s 2011 to date which has 21 letters of complaint
• Mazda 6 Tourer - Engine Malfunction 6 Oct 2020 (Forum)
  accelerate until the car reaches 2500 rpm in each gear (manual). Their is no smoke or odd sounds. I have read about similar issues that have proved to be blocked fuel filters or issues with Diesel Particulate Filter. Can anyone tell me if Mazda are taking the p$@s?
• any - ?? Seven seats + petrol + automatic, under £ 25 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  What to buy? My wife has been a big Honda loyalist for years - three Shuttles and then a Stream, but now that's beyond economic repair. We really like the engines and reliability. The options for our rather niche requirements seem to be Toyota Verso or possibly a Ford S-Max. (I am
• Audi A3 Sportback - Buying a high miler A3 quattro - thoughts? 13 Jun 2020 (Forum)
  So I'm in the market for a car, looking for something fun to drive/own, but not too expensive. Wouldn't be putting too many miles on it, say 5k a year. Was thinking this 2.0 TFSI S line Sportback looked
• All modern cars - DAB Radios and No CD players 11 Feb 2020 (Forum)
  So this is progress ! DAB car radios , I have found have inferior sound to FM and most importantly constantly lose signal. The loss of a multi change CD player is also sadly missed. Electric handbrakes come next on my list of pet hates along with DPF shananagin s now on petrol as well as diesel

  the Auto/163 but cannot justify the hit that I'd take with the fuel consumption. Unless I'm missing something? S/H prices seem to indicate that the 163 is not so popular. I can understand why! Can anyone shed any light on this please? Really sorry if this is a stupid question
• Suzuki Splash - drive shaft seal leaking 10 Apr 2018 (Forum)
  Hi, posted this in the technical section but thinking about it I'm not sure if it's really a technical enough question - oh well! Took my wife's splash for the annual service and was advised rear shock absorber requires replacement but also that the o/s drive shaft seal is leaking
• Audi A2 - Car with zero depreciation 15 Dec 2017 (Forum)
  engine which feels lumpy after my PD Tdi. Do the petrol S have a four cylinder engine ? And how does the 1.6 FSI. Compare with the 1.4 The panoramic roof seems a no go on replacement costs, but apart from bodywork repairs to the aluminium panels what are the other potential pitfalls ?

• Dangerous HGV Drivers 20 Oct 2016 (Forum)
  I try and be as understanding as possible with HGV drivers due to their busy schedule and deadlines on the U.K.'s chaotic road network but I have noticed a more dangerous habit developing that I find unacceptable. This is on particularly large islands (I noticed it on the A50 & A38 island

• Pushrod design 15 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  I am completely disillusioned with modern belt and chain driven overhead camshaft designs. Motor manufacturers just cannot seem to design a maintenance free system and often end up designing in disastrous weaknesses, e.g. VAG. Old pushrod ohv designs were supposedly superseded in the 70's
