• Toyota Picnic value 15 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  Anyone got access to a "Trade Bible" Glass's guide? I am looking to buy my Picnic from Leaseplan but I get the feeling they over value the cars compared to what a dealer would charge for one, or what it would fetch at auction. It is a Jan 98 S plate GLS Auto with CD 2.0 petrol, Met paint, 60K
• Aftermarket Turbo Bits 21 Jun 2001 (Forum)
  a Fiesta bonnet, then it will fit the kit. Will it achieve the same surge as my XUDT after the surgery, or be several 100's down the pan? I have seen adverts for such modifications but am sceptical to their effect. Anyone any comments? Simon
• Audi A6 - any comments? 31 May 2001 (Forum)
  including long continental trips. To be honest, the favourite is a Saab 9-5 3.0TiD estate (I can wait!), but on paper the A6's credentials look good.
• Fiesta Cylinder Head 6 May 2001 (Forum)
  Hi , My wife`s 1986D Fiesta 1.1 looks as though the Head Gasket has blown , so I`ve got to remove the cylinder head. I can do this either by removing the manifold from the head ( 6 x rusted nuts) OR by undoing the 2 rusted nuts securing the exhaust to the manifold , and removing the head complete
• Just for fun II 1 Mar 2020 (Forum)
  not Honda, Mazda or Toyota, though I do rate much of what Mazda in particular have done over the years. They’ve a real passion for cars with the sweet Mk I MX5, storming final RX7 Turbo and quirky Xedos from the late 80’s into the 90’s and the later post Ford era range, all of which are a pleasure to own

  Please help me. I recently bought Picasso with 147,000 miles and it has a Bosch EDC16C3 ECU. While in Somerset the engine died, and the MIL was on. A local garage diagnosed dirty diesel, cleaned the tank, replaced the filter and switched off the MIL. I filled the tank at Morrison?s in Glastonbury
• Audi TT Coupe - Faulty car just after few days... 19 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  Also, the title's car ad said : "2001 AUDI TT QUATTRO 225 BHP COUPE S LINE BLACK", but the car is not an S-Line it's an Audi TT Quattro 225 BHP only. The S-Line add few features. To resume the problems are : - Tyres with 0 mm thread. So the car is unroadworthy isn't it ? - Turbo
• Big cars: further to fall? And what would YOU do? 22 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  one of the few to have an eye on Volvo?s perky little C30. But now the S60 seems to be costing me more than I?d expected. I hadn?t appreciated how far big car values have fallen ? curious in this case, since the S60 does 48mpg and my last VED disc cost just £160. And it?s starting to want parts
• Alfa Brera - I've finally driven one 1 May 2007 (Forum)
  as gorgeous as the Ferrari red one I kicked the tyres on at an Alfa Dealer about a year ago. I think it?s great that Alfa put what was basically a concept car into production. I unlocked the door and climbed in. The seats are covered in highly attractive black and grey and nice smelling leather and, after

• C3 Civic - Citroën vs Honda – a foregone conclusion? 5 May 2014 (Forum)
  with no rattles or squeaks, the Honda has a few knocks on both the front and rear suspension over speed humps and the ride is very jiggly –as it always has been (2-0.) Fixtures and fittings: There’s nothing at all wrong with the C3’s interior, the Civic’s driver’s side window keep
