• Stalling Ford Galaxy TDi 115 PD 30 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  We have a 13 month old Galaxy with the much acclaimed Pump Duese VW engine. For a 1.7 ton car, it shifts very quickly, that it when it gets around the first corner. Unfortunately our car spent 4 weeks over Xmas and New Year with Ford Dealers trying to work out why it cut out soon after starting
• DAB - DAB+ 11 Dec 2023 (Forum)
  FM or DAB, or even directly via the car's USB port or Bluetooth to the in-car entrainment system, depending upon the car? My old Mazda3 only has LW/MW/FM, but as I've not looked for a replacement since 2016/17, I have no idea whether most cars are now capable of accepting DAB+, DAB
• Cars on the Isle of Wight 26 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  Ive just got back off holiday from there and I was amazed at how many old cars there are there. Loads of Morris Minors and I mean loads - I never went on a trip out without seeing 2 that i hadnt seen before. Also VW's are very popular - many Beetles and Campers around. Also saw a Humber Sceptre
• Once Upon a Time...a sad tale 15 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  but to her it was "the blue car thing". If it got pranged in the car park or scraped against a gate post then it was no different to stubbing your toe...a quick expletive and move on. Inside, you couldn't see the carpets for spare shoes, bits of old maps, sweet wrappers and assorted kid's paraphernalia
• Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tuscon, Vauxhall Mokka - 'New' SUV 9 Mar 2022 (Forum)
  sell it because of auto gearbox issues. Price wise I am looking at pcp deals at the mo with a max spend of £350pm and a £7000 deposit. Anything that's between 3_6 years old will do me. If anyone has any insight into the cars listed or any others that may be similar I would appreciate any

• BMW 3 Series - Charge for fault finding while under warranty? 2 Oct 2019 (Forum)
  A work colleague bought a 320 from a BMW main dealer under BMW's Approved Used scheme a couple of months back.  The car is just over a year old, with the balance of the 3-year warranty remaining etc. He asked me about some recurrent squeaking noises from the rear suspension, so I
• Any - Newcastles clean air zone proposal, what a joke 16 Jun 2019 (Forum)
  So Newcastle have seen the coffer-filling potential of a clean air zone - and will be rolling that out as soon as they can cover the city in ANPR cameras. What a farce, as usual the justification is emissions, and their answer is to charge EVERY car a fine to drive through the city
• Ford Galaxy - PCM problems 5 May 2019 (Forum)
  tried two different new PCMs now. If you put the old PCM back in then it starts up fine, albeit with the same cutting out issues as before. The dealer has tried their best. They have had the regional field engineer out maybe three times. The car has also been remotely connected up to a technical

• Ford Grand C-MAX - Anyone has Ford Grand C-Max 1l petrol? 28 Jan 2015 (Forum)
  Hello again! Still on the lookout for that 7 seater... we are firmly set on a petrol now that London (where we live) is looking at various low emission initiatives. Most petrol 7 seaters are hard to find and thirsty with around 40 mpg combined, not much better than our current old petrol car
• New MOT- another query 19 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  There has been much discussion about the new MOT. I cannot decide what to do for the best. My car is in excellent condition at 7 years old with 165K miles. It has sailed through previous tests and would do so again. Dealer maintained and well kept. However, 2 years ago SWMBO did for a door
• VW Passat - Fuel injectors failure on VW Passat 55 plate 28 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  I came accross your site by luck, and did find out that we were not the only one troubled by fuel injector failure. When injector 1 failed, the car had only 55k miles and was 6 years old.....and did cost £880 to fix at a local garage. It was repaired but they said that the other 3
• FIAT Punto - Battery charge 5 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  What does the little green indicator on the battery tell me? According to the label, green means it's charged.   However, for the past few weeks the car has been turning over a bit slowly in the mornings. The colder it's been, the slower it turns. The car has always

  Hi there - On Thursday evening, my car wouldn't start (and still won't). I had used it about an hour previously and all was fine. The starter motor is turning over and she is trying to start, but no fuel is getting through. I've checked some things and have managed to rule out the fuel cut-off

• (Another) insurance query 12 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  this week. A driver reversed her large vehicle at great speed and demolished the front near side wing of my car (I was stationary at the time). My car is 7 years old and was in immaculate condition. It had done 70,000 miles and was probably good for another 3 or 4 years of enjoyable motoring for me
