• WS Manual VW Polo 28 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  ' Workshop Manual (WSM) could set me back in excess of £100. I seem to recall that there used to be a Magazine dealing solely with V.W's where perhaps publications similar and almost identical to a WSM 's could be obtained at a much reduced cost and on par with that advertised in LandRover Magazine.(Disco
• Back room and paranoia; not good for your health 4 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  from home to pick up a paper, ran back to the car, got in and froze. Oh Lord, its not going to start. THE BACK ROOM SAYS IT MAY NOT RESTART in these circumstances. It did, just like the previous 999,999 times. Why? What is different about my car? I should be told. Colin S

  I remember the earliar Shell product fom the 1980's. Believe they marketed it as Shell with ICA - Ignition control additive. Lateral thinking suggests that Shell Optimax is a product evolved from ICA but without its downside. However Shell with its world class labs and years of expertise, got
• Xantia 1.9 TD : Engine boom / power reduction 30 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  My Xantia Estate 1.9TD seems to be suffering from an engine boom (noise) at over 2500rpm, certainly more noticeable and gets louder through higher revs. It?s just the same engine noise as usual, but a bit louder. (Doesn?t sound like a leaky exhaust or similar, though it may be from the manifold

  when driving in sandy/muddy/snowy conditions to increase the tyre?s contact area and therefore grip. They reduce tyre pressures by up to 75%, this is obviously a bit drastic and also extremely dangerous on normal roads and speeds. Is my logic off the mark here and is it that it's completely
• Pre-War Special. 17 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  I saw a 1936/37 Riley Kestrel with a sexy Yellow fishtail sports body on Sunday. Engine Chasis and running gear were original. Body was a home made aluminium affair from the 1990's. THe body was not at all original. I'm assuming that, despite it's looks, this car will be cheap 'cos no collector

  My apologies for posting this, but I have a 'T' plate BMW 728. Last of the straight 6's without fuel injection. It has been standing for 18 months, but still starts, drives and stops. I need to get rid of it before Friday night. If someone wants to give me money for it that would be nice

  Hi I am having two new tyres fitted this afternoon (R reg. Mondeo) front and rear passenger side. I don't know why these have worn more than the driver?s side, but they are only just legal. As I am driving to Sunny Wales on Saturday, I wanted to get them done. Could it be the tracking which

• Peugeot remote keys 16 May 2001 (Forum)
  I have an S-reg Peugeuot 306 and have had regular problems with the remote keys. Sometimes the batteries last a few months, sometimes a few days. The problem appears to be that after the buttons on the key fob are pressed and then released, the contact with the battery is not properly broken

  I am looking to get rid of my '87 Golf and get something early 90's and cheap. Really looking for something big and fast with lots of toys. At the moment I am considering a '92/'93 Vauxhall Senator 24V as they seem to go for around £1500 in loot. This seems incredibly cheap to me, anyone got any

A parallel period 50 years ago, during the Suez crisis, generated novel thought and gave us the original Mini. Where?s its true spiritual successor today? LJKS?s

  and despite gross underfunding manage to produce a good car. I am including the BAperiod here. Under BL they created the Montego which may make some laugh that I’d suggest it was a good car but it was. I sold plenty of these in the 90’s and not a problem was had and if you look up period road tests from
