• Peugeot 307 knock 5 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  This is a strange one, diesel 2.0 307, when turning right get a knock from underneath, this rarely happens when it is dry but in heavy rain (and indeed after going through the car wash!) i get a knocking sound on nearly every right turn.I have heard about problems with anti-roll bars on 307's
• Getting 13 months MOT 3 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  I knew that you could present your car for a MOT, a calender month prior to the expiry date and have the new MOT run for 12 months from that expiry date (assuming you present the current MOT and make the request). Therefore you could have effectively have valid MOT(s) for 13 months. However
• Daewoo - I want to be alarmed!! 24 May 2005 (Forum)
  Evening all, My 1997 doesn't have an alarm, or remote central locking. My driver's door lock gave up the ghost over the weekend - it still locks and unlocks when using the passenger door - but I think the barrel inside the lock has collapsed. So, rather than paying a VW dealer mega £££'s to sort
• Corsa SXi £159/m 0% offer 16 May 2005 (Forum)
  ) £159 a month over 39months with a MGFV of about £3k, all @ 0% interest. Also comes with 1yrs free insurance. He tells me that the insurance doesnt really go up for a Corsa instead of a Cheekycento, so year 2's insurance looks manageable. (Will double check on this though) Can anyone offer any wisdom
• Honda Jazz alloys 5 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  I know the subject of alloys has been discussed many times here but I have a specific issue with the alloys on my Jazz. Has any other Jazz driver/s with alloys noticed that the alloy has started to corrode from the centre badge out. This has started to happen on all 4 of mine and would only be put
• question of values/peace of mind 27 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  . Cars in this sector can be expensive to run, HJ points out. Then, in next topic, a reader points out you can buy a new Suzuki Alto for £4,250 on the road and with three year warranty. Makes you think it's better to borrow more than your budget and go for such a buy. If £2000's your top budget, surely
• Transportation of broken down car 14 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  . How best (cheapest) to recover this: 1. RAC can organise private recovery but obviously expect me to foot the bill; 2. Ring round private recovery firms for quotes; 3. Tow it myself. Option 3 is excluded for reasons of safety. The route's round the s/w corner of the M25 and along the M4. I
• Non-Receipt of NIP 22 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  I've just received s reminder from the Sussex Safety Camera Gang to say I haven't replied to an NIP sent on 6 December regarding a 36mph offence on 28 November. I have never received the NIP. I phoned the SSCG and the woman informed me that it had come to their attention that a lot of NIPs sent
• Mondeo warming up times. 9 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  the same spot and stay there with no fluctuation anytime during the year. This is worrying me somewhat as i've read in some Mondeo sites that there's a known problem with water pumps on V6's so i'm worried this could be early signs of a problem. My V6 has done 63k and my Diesel has done 130k . Anyone got
• Accord - do 17" wheels mess up its ride? 8 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  I'm looking at the Accord diesel, which comes with 16" wheels (205/55 tyres), but has the option of much better looking 17" wheels (I can't find the tyre size but presumeably they'll be wider and lower profile - maybe 215/45's?). On some cars it's strongly recommended NOT to go for lower profile
• Volvo S60 2.0 - Your thoughts? 20 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  I'm hoping to be in a position to change my car in the spring and I am toying with the idea of a Volvo S60 2.0 T manual in S or SE spec. The vehicle won't be new, probably Y/51/02 plate. I've been a Ford Mondeo man for many years now so it's time for a change. Can anyone who owns/drives or has any
• 1992 Passat cooling system/temp gauge 13 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  . Does this mean it isnt getting round the engine since its not getting hot? I drained, flushed and refilled the system with coolant a couple of weeks ago, but didnt remove the thermostat (realised this after reading grahamf1's post this month!). Could this be causing the problem....but it rises when
• Unsafe new BMW 5 series. 13 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  deserve severe critism for allowing the car to go to mas production with so many problems that need correcting (Steering column, airbags, airbag timing, door trims, foot rest and door latches). Do you think that BMW will modify the 1000's of cars that do not meet the EuroNCAP level of safety
• Noble M400 10 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  to join a motorway when he lost it so completely that it slammed into the embankment,spun and came to rest with the rear N/S wheel broken off,fortunately no one else involved or the driver and passenger hurt,made me think either the throttle control wants rethinking or Neil Lydon needs retraining before

• Goodyear F1 VS Pirelli 6000 3 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, My Pirelli 6000's have done nearly 40K miles on my Volvo S60 D5 and they are due for replacement. I'm generally happy with the tyres but I remember reading a good report about the Goodyear F1. It would be nice to have a bit more grip, but I don't want excessively soft compounds, increased road
