  • French car reliability 19 Sep 2014 (Forum)
    Monday's Times reports a 'survey' (apparently from Warranty Direct) showing that the reliability of French cars is second only to Japanese, followed by S.Korea, US, Swedish, German, Italian and guess-who.  They did admit that Nissan, Honda and Mini were not classed as British

  • What is the benefit of Super Unleaded? 14 Jul 2009 (Forum)
    My wife has a ten year old Honda Shuttle (2.3 VTEC). She always puts in the cheapest petrol and was quite cross when I treated the motor to Super Unleaded fuel. But isn't better fuel supposed to help old engines? Can anyone explain the technical difference that justifies the price difference
  • Driver 'double-parks' in supermarket car park 3 Jun 2008 (Forum)
    "Driver 'double-parks' in supermarket car park" "A driver caused panic in a busy supermarket car park on Monday when he lost control of his vehicle and ended up parked on top of another car" Honda Civic automatic. From "The Daily Telegraph": http://tinyurl.com/5g2yrh Sounds faintly unlikely!
  • Synthetic Engine Oil 4 Jun 2007 (Forum)
    I have been searching for the thread about the oil for my Honda Accord diesel, and can only assume it disappeared to that thread heaven last week-end. Someone replied to say, if I recall correctly, there were only "two" manufacturers of 0w-30 motor oil. Could he, or anyone else, let me know

  • What for £12,000? 3 Feb 2005 (Forum)
    Huge choice of 4 seater estate or hatchbacks, but which principle to follow: higher mileage prestige (C Class, 40,000; Jag X type etc) or plentiful (Mondeo Ghias with 10,000) or big depreciations like Signums? Or Mr Reliables like Honda Accords/Avensis. Current Passat TDI Auto has been great, cheap

  • Civics with wet boots? 9 Feb 2004 (Forum)
    "Apparently, the body retains rainwater around the hatchback so if the hatch is opened after the car has been standing in a shower the retained water cascades into the boot." So says HJ's car-by-car breakdown for the latest Honda Civic. Any of you backroomers encountered this problem? And if so

    The official details/pictures/website of the new Hyundai 4x4 are online at http://www.hyundaitucson.com/home.asp Their best effort so far but still behind in styling & I don't think much of the name.

  • Haynes Workshop Manuals 14 Jul 2003 (Forum)
    Just wondered if anyone knew of any other publishers of workshop manuals other than Haynes, which are availiable to the general public.
