• dark horse cars 25 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  I'd like to find out about cars that are generaly unknown but are in fact exellent and under rated. I'll kick it off by telling you about my recent purcahse of Mitsubishi Galant S Reg 2,5 v6 ,climate control all leather and so forth. This is gem of a find for me. It wasn't expensive at £3500
• cheapest motoring I ever heard of. 7 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  It's great to see folks after a bargain but I reckon my old pal had us all beat. All his adult life he ran Citroen 2CVs (he is in his 60's now) He rarely paid more than £100 for one and got them two at a time. He then cannibalised the cars and got one decent one fron the two! He reckoned

  estate, shortly to be replaced by an Audi A4 Avant 2.5 TDI. But she needs comfortable, supportive seats. Possibilities are the SEAT Ibiza 130 TDI (maybe too hard a ride?), the Skoda Fabia vRS (if I can get her even to look at a Skoda!!) or the Honda Civic S (bigger than we need but not excessively so

• Honda Civic Type R 16 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  noise, a background presence that was always there. Curiously it didn't change with speed, or vary that much with road surface. In fact it was most noticeable in town at under 30 mph. Don't think I could live with it. Sum up: great car, great value. Cooper S with works conversion on balance a better
• 2 year old car covered 125,000 miles? 2 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  Would you buy a 2 year old car that?s covered over 125,000 miles? The car in question is a Honda Civic Type R. Apparently it has a full Honda service history. Only mod seems to be a Mugen induction kit... If I was looking at say a 7 or 8 year old car that had 125,000 miles on it I wouldn?t
• What Fun for £20K? 26 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  . In the running at the moment is the Mini Cooper S. A possibility is the Mazda RX-8 (though some reports say the rear seating is too small). I'm going to suggest also the Saab 9-3 2.0 Aero HOT as I've just seen it for under £20k on this website. Also the Seat Leon Cupra R. He can't have a Civic Type-R as I've
• Petrol Toyota Hilux stalling at junction 9 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  very low, and occasionally it stalls. It starts up again fine, but it\'s quite inconvenient having to start it again at every junction! Any ideas? I\'m planning to change plugs, points rotor arm and distributor cap - any other things which are likely to be causing this? Also, anybody out
• Audi A4 climate-control tip 27 Dec 2003 (Forum)

• Golf VR6 Surging 23 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  Hi I wondered whether anyone can help me, i have some kind of intermittent electrical problem with my \'92 Golf VR6. It surges between 200 to 1000 revs when idle (have checked idle control valve and it\'s fine), it also cuts out regularly when idle. This weekend it stopped altogether
• Focus to Clio? 8 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  Hi all, I currently drive a '99 'S' Focus 1.8 petrol which I've had since Jan 2001 and which has on the whole been reliable and nice to own. I am thinking of downsizing to a brand new Renault Clio 1.6 16V Dynamique+ 3dr, and have seen the Clio on offer as low as £8499. The reason for me downsizing

  Has any one tried a Hyundai Getz ? The base model car gets a good review in what car, and it now comes with 5 year warranty, 3 years three servicing and 3 years RAC cover, all for £6995, before haggle. Guess you could get a few hundred £'s off that. It looks OK, not a bread van by any means
• M1 hell 16 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  It\'s probably big news back in Blighty, but i saw this one today and thought it worth a mention. It seems as though the M1 will be out of action for some time. With a pile up of this magnatude is any other course of action available, probably not. Just what can have happened will need
• The ultimate home build? 29 May 2003 (Forum)
  Forgive me if this has been posted before. The search engine didn't reveal it, but then I don't trust the search engine! ;) This has got to be the ultimate home built car. A McLaren Mercedes SLR lookalike built from a 1980's Merc donor, using artist's impressions and styling concept photographs
