  • VW Polo - Have we been sold the wrong model? 23 Dec 2010 (Forum)
    to be but at the same time, all the features don't match up with any of the lower ranked models like S, Twist, E. To be honest I was a bit suspicious about the whole deal as we twice were meant to go and see the car and was told there was a problem getting it there and only got to see it on the same day

  • Ford Fiesta Saloon - EAC FAIL solution needed 18 Sep 2010 (Forum)
    to be the answer. I dont mind paying around £120 if it will cure it. I have to have a vehicle to get to work. I live in a village and the transport is next to nothing.

  • iPhone 4 - Review - problems with antenna? 20 Jul 2010 (Forum)
    , while using Opera Mini to surf this site? It seemed unable to do this - and it wouldn`t run Macromedia Flash applications either. Mrs O came up with a solution in the Apple store. "Just put a coat of clear nail varnish on the bare antenna" She`s thinking of applying to Steve Jobs
  • Bristol 403 - Dispute over charges 12 Jul 2010 (Forum)
    for a written explanation for the increase in costs (50% over an already high (in my and others I have asked) opinion) and a final cost to finish the car to which I have not received a reply. My questions are what would you consider a reasonable price for rewiring a large early 1950's saloon car

  • The Donkey trap future - motoring with no motor 31 Mar 2010 (Forum)
    Elegance is dead really don`t you think? It`s been a steady downhill run since the Art Deco era and now across the world slobbery prevails in dress and attitude. Shambling figures in tatty jeans, bloated by the puffery of wadding and internal padding. Long gone, the effort or fashion
  • Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 01 2.0 Running problems 17 Jan 2010 (Forum)
    it is just the TDCI?s that suffer from this problem or am I wrong? If it is the injector codes I have heard that it can happen again soon after it is sorted. It is an old car now everything is perfect apart from the fuelling is it worth it? Any help would be fantastic thank you.

    convincing explanation. Since that could be a public relations disaster for Toyota, and perhaps for the industry in general, its perhaps not surprising they would prefer to blame a carpet.
