• Consultants? 1 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  Heard on the news this morning that a govt. consultant has come up with a cunning plan to reduce road congestion. He reckons the govt. should be charging for every mile travelled and that improving/widening roads would be doing motorists no favours in the long run. Theory probably has some merit

  One of the better shows i thought but WHATS the point of a drag race between three cars , too many factors determine the winner, just a couple 1/ the driver 2/ a poor start 3/the milage (ie run in) I thought the test of passing the fixed speed lorry much more informative of a cars
• Air Con - is it worth it? 2 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  I have read with interest the various threads over the last few months about air con. When I choose my next car, it likely to be 3 to 4 years old ex fleet and not more than £5K. I intend running the car for another 3 years (30K). For the first time many of the cars falling into this category have

• Leaking radiator?? 12 Jun 2001 (Forum)
  My 4 year old 306 Diesel seems to have a small problem. It is used for a relatively short run each day 5 miles each way and each day loses water from the radiator (visible on the garage floor in th evening). It appears to be coming from the overflow tube at the top next to the filling hole. Does

• Best tyres? 5 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  I'm looking for recommendations for good tyres. They need to be available in / 195/60R15 87V. I'm currently running the Avon ZV1 which have pretty decent grip but are noisy and the ride quality is rather poor. I'm looking for tyres with good comfort / ride quality, low noise, but reasonable grip
• Subaru Justy 10 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  Running my second Subaru Justy (1990 GL II) have noticed over this winter mayonnaise on the oil filler cap I recall that the previous car did this. There doesn't appear to be any water in the coolant or any loss of water. The rocker cover is plastic with a metal plate inside. Could it just

  and was not complete so all my parts had to be transplanted to the new (nearly new) engine. This process took several weeks.  When it was finally done it wouldn't run on its own and after another few weeks of diagnostics it was taken to the nearest Mazda dealership who got it running by reprogramming the ECU
• VW Polo 1.2 2002 - Polo failed MOT on high CO 16 Sep 2011 (Forum)
    Hi all. Got a problem with my wife's car, and thought I'd run it past you. The car's a 2002, 52 plate 1.2 65bph 3cylinder VW Polo. A few years back the coolant sensor failed, leading to the engine managment light (MIL) to come on. This was fixed
• Lexus GS300 - Victim of hit and run 1 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  all is said and done, we don't want to give the car up because we know the service history and that it is in perfect running condition.  Do they have to sell the car back to us?  How much would we expect to pay?  Can they refuse to sell it back to us?  Or can we just drop the whole

  Hi, I've decided to post this here because I literally don't know what to do in a situation I've found myself in. First, some background. My girlfriend owns an 03 206 3 door hatchback which has done 33k miles and is running really well. Cheap to run and insure. It is parked nearby our house

  with electric height adjustment on the driver's side, shiny chrome-finish wheels and many bells and whistles came for the original 18k price (phew!). Short bonnet and high floor make it feel a bit like a Transit. It's running sweetly at 55,000 miles, distinctly better after being booted a bit on the road

• Hell's Granny hit and run! 6 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  It's been one of those days today but capped off by having a hit and run this evening when dropping my son off for work. I had dropped him off at the local supermarket where he works and was waiting to turn out of the service road into the main access road when I saw an old lady in one

  accurate. The second fan stage comes on at about 102C, but only ever had that happen when the resistor was broken. Motorway driving is something quite different. If the ambient temparature is more than about 20C, on a long motorway run at 70MPH or above, gauge temparature starts climbing higher and higher
