• VW POLO 1.4 - action when EMS warning light displays 1 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  . It took two attempts (first sensor faulty!) and cost £168.40 incl. VAT & Labour.  Is it likely to be the same fault again or is something else the cause of the warning light? If it is caused by a faulty part, why has it failed? What 's the next step? Can the car be driven

• McLaren T25 City car - Revolutionary - or roll over? 12 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  Just what we need for crowded roads, perhaps. But a couple of lads returning from a night out drinking would seem to be able to roll this on it`s side. I can beat 74 mpg in the Punto van too - despite it being twice the weight. Will it catch on though? And perhaps even more

  A relation recently gifted me a set of old 14inch alloys, my steel wheels were 15inch. I'm glad to have gone down a size because I've always felt that the 15inch steel wheels and 195/60 r15's were too close to the wheel arch. Anyway the 14inch wheels have been fitted with 175/65

  .  No luck. Going to take it back to KwikFit - they caused the problem after all. What should I be asking them to do?  Is this a new sensor(s) issue?  Different CAT?  Really inconvenient for me so need to get it sorted & not just re-set again. Thanks for any advice. JM

• Distinctive motoring `sniffs` 10 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  Well you do sniff at some motoring things, don`t you? ;-) Duckhams Q20/50 stood out as really different to other motor oils at the time I had a Mini van in 68. Not just in it`s green colour but it also smelt great. Wonder why? - I certainly don`t notice anything attractive about the smell
