• Chipsaway 26 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  The wife?s car had picked up 3 mega chips in the front bumper (her) plus a scrape about 6 inches by 2 (me). The chips were amazing. They appeared to have gone clean through a top skin of plastic and into some black, coarser plastic beneath. For either one we?d probably have pulled a face and left
• Highways Traffic Officers - Bad Idea? 18 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  On my daily commute on the M6, M62 and M602, I regularly come across the new Highways Agency?s Traffic Officers in their new highly visible Shoguns, Discoverys etc etc. Now, I?m led to believe that the purpose of the Officers is to improve traffic flow by clearing accidents and obstructions

• Will it come to this? 7 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  to 4am & would most often than not have the roads to ourselves till at least 7am, this being the late 70's to late 80's. On the nightshift it seems to me that the rush hour is now starting at 3-30 to 4am so that people can get a head start to beat the queues. This is just the suits, never mind your

• Help! Kerb weight VW Passat 26 May 2005 (Forum)
  and queried this and as soon as I mentioned kerb weight the telephone agent said, ?it?s not a Passat is it? We know there is incorrect info about the kerb weight?. I have searched around on the net and found a site ( http://www.dieselcar.com/volkswagen-frame.html ) that states that the kerb weight is as low
• Vauxhall Monterey Tyre Wear 21 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Folks, My 3.1 Monterey (rebadged Trooper) has just passed the MOT (aahhh...!), but with an advisory on the front tyre. It's down to 1.5mm on the inner edge of the O/S/F, but has 10+ across the rest. Enough to trap a small mammal, in fact. The outer edge of the N/S/F has some significant

• Old VW Polo intermittant power loss 24 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  the car\'s top speed to about 50 mph even with the accelerator floored. This can persist for some time, but alternately flooring and releasing the accelerator pedal (still while driving) seems to fix it. Has anyone got any thoughts on what might be causing this? Other \'signs of age\' and general
• Horror expenses !!! 27 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  costs for various cars and add these costs to the CBC breakdown. I\'m sure most people fall in love with their shiny new motors and haggle about the price but never find out or even consider in advance just how costly that new clutch, cat, cambelt etc. etc. is going to be when it\'s eventually

• The Price of Image 26 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  A comment in Steve Cropley?s Autocar column caught my eye ?I see a day when even buyers of ?quality? cars won?t want to pay prices inflated by something as unimportant as image?. He had been talking about a quote from Opel-Vauxhall?s big chief, Carl Peter Forester, formally quality guru, who
• LPG conversions 20 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  a conversion is to fit it to a thirsty vehicle and get the conversion done for as little as is compatible with safety. A Range Rover is a thirsty vehicle compared with most saloon cars and would seem to be a suitable candidate for treatment. A cheap but sound 70's or 80's vehicle would suit my purposes
