• Toyota Avensis (2003 - 2008) - 04 2.0vti - stalling problem, not sure what to do 11 May 2008 (Forum)
  400 RPM. The engine vibrates and so does the car. When I am on an incline and take my foot off the brake the engine just can't cope and instantly stalls. I had the AA round and there were no fault codes but frankly I didn't trust their computer that much. Now, something very strange also happened
• Can your passanger switch off cruise control? 26 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  cruise control disconnect is in 3 places - brake pedal, master switch, and steering wheel. >> Irritatingly, it's not on the handbrake (wouldn't have killed them to add one more microswitch), >> so if I died at the wheel I have no idea what a passenger would need to do. :-) My MkII Mondeo has

• Lights; their correct use and maintenance. 14 Dec 2007 (Forum)

  this fault when idling by hiccuping and, when it occurs when the engine is pulling, it feels like the driver is stabbing at the brake pedal .

  but just as I got to the front they had to be "rested" to cool the brakes and tyres so it was the CLS. As the driver said " it is not usual to be hustling a two ton vehicle like this" It was great value for me even if I felt the physical effects for half an hour after. I feel sure many expected
