• Honda Jazz - Rear Ended at a Roundabout 12 Jun 2015 (Forum)
  and started wailing immediately. I jumped out (adrenaline pumping) to get to my kid int he back and he couldnt be more apologetic and said his "brakes had failed" and that he was "sorry" and "was my child ok". We drove round the corrner slightly to get a better look, and to get out the way of the rest

• Vauxhall Corsa D - 1.3 CDTI Intermittently/dangerously sluggish? 10 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  roughly 900 and 1100 rpm The engine management light never comes on at all. I have a video link, which shows what "code" is being displayed when I turn the ignition and press the clutch and brake pedal in. I can't read this code properly and when I think I have it, I look on the list

  ; but then further along the road I saw 40 MPH speed limits signs and the mobile speeding camera van behind the 40MPH limit signs. I hit the brakes then wondered if I would get a NIP for doing 45 in a 40. Little did I know that the road I was on at the time had a 30MPH limit. I don't understand why
• Audi A3 - Faulty car - can I ask for my money back? 21 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  I'm thinking I may have to take the car dealer to court but not sure whether to get legal advice first? I bought the Audi A3 4 weeks ago (paid cash) and knew the ESP light was on when bought it, I was told the car needed new brake discs and sensor and this would all be done by the time I

  suggestions where to continue looking for the fault. The last switch to check is the brake light switch and this will be done today. I will be taking the spare key to them this afternoon in desperation (maybe the current key “lost” its coding?). Sorry for the long post, but I am desperate for any

  . When the car get up to running temperature the car will stall unless the accelerator is depressed. As you may guess this makes usual journeys very difficult as I have to attempt to brake while keeping revs up so as to not to stall, unless of course im on a hill and can bump the car. After two

  the bonnet, like something winding down - lasts about 5 seconds, gradually fading out. My boyf thinks maybe the clutch? Also just noticed that turning round a corner (braking and downshifting from 4th to 2nd) she was a bit crunchy - she can be a bit crunchy trying to get her into 1st (especially block

• Honda Accord Tourer (2003 - 2008) - at 100 5 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  not that impressive. I?m on my 3rd set of front brake pads if that helps put it in context? Probably a neutral point at best. Bad? Well the faults have been minor but Honda are not good at fault finding. A shocking total of 9 (yes, nine) weeks off the road from new. The faults? - a faulty alternator voltage

  than most competitors: the boot is shallowish (because of the need to store the batteries) but it's enough, and there is a big under-floor compartment for laptops etc. Cristicisms - not much. I don't like the foot-operated parking brake, although at least it's mechanical and not electronic. It's
• private buyer long term diesel / lpg choice ? 24 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  will be best, safest and last at least 10 years, hopefully more. after warranty runs out will do most basic servicing ( oils, filters, brake pads) at home so chain drive camshaft is one less worry. depreciation is a different beast over here, people keep cars much longer and used car values are much higher

  cylinders, needed 1 litre of oil a week, had no brakes etc etc. Also I know this just because I am an enthusiast but what is the fun in having a brand new car for a first car? Half the fun is the tinkering and seeing how long you can keep a ten year old car looking like its fresh out the factory for. I
• Rode a Deauville today - rambling post alert 21 May 2009 (Forum)
  more agricultural engine with vibes to be felt all the time. Mild panic at seeing the ABS light on until I got to 10ish mph. A low seating position and a feeling of unshakeable stability making cornering more of an effort than the V-Strom. Was it the ABS making the front brakes feel like hard work
