• Evil automobile 12 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  brakes. Also incredibly valuable and my boss's pride and joy. When I collected it I was told it was 'a bit tricky to start when hot', which turned out to be an understatement. I had to stop for petrol twice (it only does 10-12 mpg) and both times I almost ran the battery flat trying to get the old
• Shed some light, please 14 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  , I thought how difficult can it be to change a headlamp bulb? Now, I see why. The nearside headlamp unit has 2 covers, 1 to protect the bulb and one, seemingly to protect the first cover in the event of battery explosion or some other unlikely event. The golf uses H7 bulbs for main and dip so
• Nissan Leaf - Leafing my wallet alone! 1 Nov 2024 (Forum)
  by electric cars? No, not at the stupid prices people are paying for them new. I see new VW ID3’s sitting at our local dealer at well over £30k and that’s just daft. A new big battery Leaf is closing in on £35k according to the local Nissan dealer who tried unsuccessfully to convince me of its value. I do
• 4 months with the Superb iV 5 Mar 2021 (Forum)
  even when the battery shows 0 miles since its keeps some back, have read its 10%. As for economy calculations show that so far based on petrol used its averaging 71 mpg. But since we charge it and try to get the most out of the cheaper electric especially on supermarket trips and since we have

  2001 Clio Mk2 Phase 1 - 2001 Petrol This car sat for 5 years unused. I recently started it with a fully charged battery. It started after a few seconds. I drove it around the block for a few minutes. All was fine, except brakes need freed up. A few days later
• Peugeot 508 - Peugeot 508 2019 engine and clutch failure 2 Nov 2023 (Forum)
  clutch too! It never felt on its way out. The biggest shock is the bill which is being quoted at £1200! An incredible amount of money and I know of no car outside a Porsche 911 that will cost so much. To further irritation, they are replacing the battery at £175 and the robbing swines at Peugeot

• Tesla Model S - Tesla 9 Aug 2021 (Forum)
  /200 motorway miles so as long as the Supercharger network is working fine, no problems. There is no way I will be able to afford a new one, so used would be the only option. I have faith in the batteries, but the rest of the car? Some simple maintenance/repair jobs seem to be very expensive

• What is the point of a Hybrid 25 Feb 2020 (Forum)
  . The new Corolla 2.0 seemed to tick the boxes. Looked about the same size as the Pulsar, similar power (180 against 190) but much better mpg. Then I read this weeks Autocar report of their long term test car. The hybrid battery robs boot space reducing it to 313 litres and makes carrying even

• Golf 1.4 TSi 59 plate - Starting issues 19 May 2015 (Forum)
  time it went in they replaced the camshaft sensor, the second time it went back they decided it was the battery, the third time (currently with them now) they can't find a fault and therefore would like a customer demonstration! Given that it is so random as to when it decides not to start I have

  of the clunking/crunching that occurred when the DMF was giving up. Battery is approximately 2-3 years old. The cold weather is making me think glow plugs or waxing of the fuel (does this still occur?), however the fact it initially seems to start and then stalls makes me think it is a fuelling issue
