• Subaru Impreza II fl 2 (2006 - 2007) - Subaru Brakes 29 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  Hi All I bought an EU-import Subaru Impreza 2.0RX (the 'old' saloon, not the new hatch) on 1st September. After a nearly three months ownership I remain highly delighted with this car. It really is a great car to drive in my suburban/rural driving and feels incredibly well engineered

• Mondeo TD (Endura DE) oil recommendation 25 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  ring alarm bells on such an old design, low tech engine, but I was always led to believe that one should use a dedicated diesel oil in diesel engines because the added detergents perform such an important job. I don't wish to argue with the manufacturer, but I just wondered what you would do
• Replacing wheel cylinder (all vehicles) 2 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  week? Do we know this by trying it (How? That's never done...) or do we just think it probably will? Just as important, would it affect the brake balance (MOT testable), having one new one and one old one? Then the shoes. Of course on one side they've been covered with brake fluid. I will clean
• Toyota Hi-Lux, anyone? 3 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  I wonder if anyone out there has a view on this? HJ gives it a mention but suggests it's only specially imported into UK, maybe that's changed. http://www.toyota.com.ph/showroom/hilux/index.html This truck reminded me of the Ford F150 I had, and I've been looking at it for some weeks now. Test
• The Popularity of LPG Conversions 23 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  to make money on the conversion. Finally, probably the most important question, I currently have a good and reliable vehicle that I enjoy immensely, would I perhaps be jeopardising that by doing an LPG conversion? (Even with the most professional of installs, you sometimes still do hear of various issues
• what estate for show dogs? 16 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  cars until they eventually grind to a halt, rather than sell 'em, so high mileage capability is pretty important. Besides I prefer to buy a car that's only a few years old, but has higher than average mileage. Thank you all so much for looking at this.

• Sheared tube but what is it? Astra 1.7TD 5 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  rubbed my (gloved) hand on either the connector or the cut end of the tube I got oil all over my gloves, but it's far from flowing out. My questions - first off what is this tube and how important is is? Should I worry about driving with it in this state? It must be remembered here that I don't know
• Motoring documents 11 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  book, licence, insurance docs etc. Sounds like common sense but a mislaid insurance cert will cause you problems/hassle should you get a "producer". 2. Send all important docs (such as returned NIPs) by recorded delivery. Failure to return these forms could lead to prosecution, what happens when
• Lack of signs to A& E hospitals 12 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  With the centralising of A&E departments to large specialist hospitals, to my mind, it is even more important to have good directional signs to these sites. Everybody including emergency services are having to travel further with patients to such facilities. Surely it is essential that proper
