• Secondhand parts posted/received - returns? 24 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  . They sent another component when I told them. This was the correct one, but unserviceable. Not I have two parts, one incorrect but OK, one correct but U/S. I have now decided to buy a new component, rather than wait about for more wrong/US ones to be sent. I want to return the one(s) they have already

• Best kept motoring or car based `secrets` 26 May 2008 (Forum)
  Back in the early 1980`s I was working with young TWOC-ers and was once in a `place`being shown a ledger book with page after page of registration numbers, all of the same make and model. Unbelievable really, but it was reckoned that just about every car of that type in the town and surrounding
• Fuel consumption figures 16 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  miles\" or some other such inter-galactic distance. Yeah, right. Underlying the official figures lists is a fun, intra-industry game in which one firm\'s boffins try to outsmart another\'s by ECU tweaks and other arcane manoeuvres. Intellectually satisfying to them, results in league-table positioning
• Dual Mass Flywheel Problems - RAV 4 25 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  I would appreciate if someone could tell me if DMF`s were introduced specifically to cope with the increased torque outputs of modern diesel engines, or are they also now fitted to petrol units. I ask because I am considering buying a 2005/2006 (old model) 2.0 litre petrol RAV 4, and have been
• Do all cars drive the same these days?? 4 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  dreadful to drive compared to the cars I used to drive in the 90's, and maybe even the 80's. Can anyone recommend a medium size car that has a supple suspension and a civilised, smooth drive? Preferably not French, and pref not a Ford or Vauxhall and 3k - 4k to spend. I was thinking maybe a Seat Leon
• What car for 10-12k? 2 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  diesel sounds like an ideal choice, this is in budget - other end of the scale, Lotus Elises seem to be going for around this price, as do some Honda S2000's - also seems like some BMWs - 330, 325 - fall into budget, shape before the current one, older M3's look nice Any advice greatfully received

  Hi Over the last 15/17 years, I've only driven German cars - Audi's up until recently and now a Merc. I've heard about the brand new Moneo soon to be launched and been in the Ford S Max and the current Mondeo Ghia. I've also been in the new GM Zifira and Vectra about a year ago. Must admit

• Bumpers 18 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  attached to 50's and 60's barges. Triumph tried rubber bumpers on the Herald but they didn't catch on with other makers. Renault came up with the sculpted shock resistant plastic front and rear apron sections on the original Renault 5. Gardually other makers adopted the idea. Soon these bumpers became

  I recently had the misfortune of hitting a kerb at an angle of about forty-five degrees at 20-25mph. This caused a minor deformity to the near-side-front wheel trim and may now give the impression that I have got a buckled wheel, which one occasionally sees on other cars but can never see on one?s
• Some pre-MOT questions please! 18 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  MOT stated 2 'Advices', namely: M (or N?)/S/F C/V Boot; and O/S/R outer sill. I'd be really appreciative to hear what these are, if they are big jobs, what money I'm looking at, and anything else that might be helpful. I'm booking it in tomorrow, and I'd really like to go a little more

  This morning, in my usual manner, I left to go to work. Mistake. The road outside my house, which is normally a \'rat run\' was busy, but i thought no more of it. Next thing I discover why - there\'s been an accident 800m or so up the road (YES! It involved a minibus taxi!) and traffic

• Crash who should pay? 10 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  in the bodywork near the fog light, the repair bill is in the £400 to £500?s region, I asked the father of the bike rider to pay for the repair, and he has refused, saying it?s a knock for knock situation, I don?t see it that way, am I being unreasonable?
