• Jaguar XF - 2016 Jaguar XF 2.0D 180 Reliability v 2009 XF 2.7D 22 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  I've owned my 09 XF 2.7D Premium Luxury since nearly new and have enjoyed totally trouble free motoring. I've never had any problems and have only ever needed to change the tyres, brakes and oil. With nearly 80k miles it still drives like new. However, I'm aware the car is getting on now, it's
• Near-miss this weekend. Who was most at fault? 3 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  quite slowly and as I got closer to his rear three-quarter he stuck on his indicator and pulled across to go down a side turning which emerged on the right-hand side - right in to the path of my Saab. I jumped on the brakes and swung the wheel right although there was only the turn-off

  of friction, but I'm certain the handbrake was off. It was making such unholy noises that passers by were staring and one shouted that I should turn the hand brake off.  Then, just as I pulled up the ABS SERVICE NOW light came on. I promptly shut it off and walked home. I'm wondering if there may

• Ford Focus Estate - 2017 Focus deals vs 4-5 year old cars 15 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  years old without spending £8K. My priorities are the engine.The only feature I want is heated front screens. Other than that I want the smallest wheels and fewest features. Modern cars have so much tat. Why do I need emergency brake assist? If I want to stop hard then I'll press the pedal

• Toyota Yaris - Stick or twist 23 Nov 2016 (Forum)
  in repairs a year. Be it bearings, suspension, exhaust or tires. In the last few months I've had brake pads replaced, and some investigations into fuel smells. Now the other day I unavoidably drove over a rock and hit the subframe and exhaust. So needs a new cat, plus have a leaky shock so both need
• Range rover L322 auto 2003 - ignition key stuck in the switch 10 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  only when I really pushed down on the brake pedal it moved. I checked all the gear positions before moving off and everything seemed fine. At the time I just put it down to a gremlin
• Passat VW - Bought a car from a dealer with a few faults.... 17 Oct 2014 (Forum)

• KIA Rio - What Car TRUE MPG Figures - Need Investigation 9 Oct 2014 (Forum)

• Toyota Aygo - Aygo semi-auto transmission problem 7 Oct 2014 (Forum)
  journey and stopping the car for about 20 minutes, I failed to fire it up again despite turning the key (first time this has happened). The brake which must be pushed down to start the car had frozen; although, I was able to change the gears to put the car into drive and reverse. A local garage diagnosed

  a couple of yards into the road to get a better getaway.. Looked right again and an Astra  does an emergency stop and comes to a halt ....me felt slightly bemused as there was plenty of space for him to pass by but he probably thought I hadn't seen him. I had and my foot was on the brake when
• What used car? 4 May 2014 (Forum)
  . And that's where I run out of ideas. So far, I've had a 1.25 Fiesta (bombed out on its MOT due to rust), a 1.4 206 (blowout on the M5 shot the brakes all to hell) and my current 1.0 Picanto, which is great, but the missus loves it far more than I do, so she gets that one. I'm tempted by a Micra 1.4 Sport
• Volkswagen Golf VI - Air Conditioning Compressor Bolt Sheared 70k Miles 17 Nov 2013 (Forum)
  offer to this sort of thing shouldn't really happen in 70,000 miles of mainly motorway driving. It wouldn't be so bad but this is on top of brake pads and other smaller items that have been advised, although I could probably start using the independents for this work. I'm guessing
• Rover 45 - 2003 Rover 45 - Engine overheated, oil in coolant 11 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  Hi, A couple of weeks ago my oil light kept coming on when I braked hard. I checked the oil and it was very low, none there. I topped it up. Then before a big journey I checked it again and it was very low again, topped up. On motorway journey after 100 miles steam was coming from
• Replacing 2002 Mondeo - Still Looking 24 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  car? Any issues to worry about with a 2.0 TDCi if I find a good one?   I also test drove a 2011 old shape Focus. A 1.8 zetec.  I had expected it to be nippy as it had the same 1.8 engine as my old Mondeo in a smaller car. Felt a bit sluggish though. Brakes felt heavy
• Chrysler Voyager - Yet another Chrysler SKIM issue? 26 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  , in the last couple of weeks this has happened more and more often. The worst part is that the car has actually cut out twice whilst driving and refused to start for up to an hour afterwards. This was quite scary, as the power steering and brakes both stopped working when the engine died. Luckily both happened
• Suzuki SX4 - Emission Warning Light. 12 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  was damaged when a new body part was fitted after someone bumped me when I braked and they didn't. The vehicle now runs normally with the light out.
