• Chevrolet - Africa Calling 26 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  Town movie contacts, it wouldn't be difficult to round up a motley crew of 3/4. There was only one obstacle - dosh! Sadly, I wasn't exactly flush having invested considerably in my own '40's -'60's collection of Bentleys / Chevy Pick Ups and so on. Granted, renting them out as Cape Town movie "prop
• Home trading questions 15 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  you have to buy x number of cars a year to retain the account? As for selling the cars I?ve been comparing the Ebay prices of local vehicles hitting their reserve and not bought by Singaporian con-men! Against the main dealer px?s with good MOT?s at the local auction which meet reserve. I think I?ve
• any - why can't people keep to their own side 9 Jul 2024 (Forum)
  German marques, it's not as if their tyres are going to get muddy or likely to scratch the paint or clout their own n/s mirror because the verges feature a bank and ditch before the well trimmed hedges, the bank ensures they would struggle to end up in the ditch unless deliberately. Is it just me?
• Renault Clio Mk3 - Nasty ball joint failure on car bought 1 month ago 16 Dec 2021 (Forum)
  is on - a big improvement on my 02 Yaris! It had a single advisory at MOT 9 months previously '‘front play in steering rack inner joint(s) both ()'. Since that MOT it has done 1,500 miles, most of those miles by me in the last month since I bought it. Two days ago, on the way home from work
• Hyundai i30 Crdi - Used car repairs 31 Mar 2021 (Forum)
  only want the car repaired.  Are Oxygen sensors on diesel i30's unreliable?
• Hot smell from rear wheel post service. 17 May 2020 (Forum)
  smell. Investigation revealed the o/s rear wheel was hot. Now to my untrained mind, this suggested a binding brake. But, while i have not had the opportunity to jack up the rear to try and spin the offending wheel, it certainly doesn't feel like it is binding. The driveway on which i was parked
• Audi Q3 - Car on order with all the things Backroomers hate! 15 Mar 2020 (Forum)
  Sport. Mrs 72 dudes liked the Mokka interior with the heated leather seats, but I felt it was dull to drive. The Audi Q3 on the other hand was very impressive, both loved it. Same engine as that in Skidpan's forthcoming Superb. So it has a S-Tronic gearbox, an electric handbrake

• Time for sensible winter tyre laws? 7 Feb 2019 (Forum)
  . Take the decision away from the style over substance idiots and make M&S tyre mandatory in the winter.
• "Rogue" roundabout - left lane to turn right !! 14 Nov 2018 (Forum)
  lane to go right, so "Local knowledge" seems to trump the Highway Code. Which is great for local drivers, and madness for everyone else. I can't help wondering how a collision would pan out in a situation like that. The council(s) seem to have abrogated all responsibility, figuring that drivers
• Average miles per annum car - Why so much attention paid to fuel consumption? 7 Oct 2018 (Forum)
  ' energy,  there are a couple of two year old Tesla S cars (much the same size as a Ford Mondeo) for sale at around £47,000 having done (slightly above average) 20,000 miles.   Assuming cost price of  £72,000 that's 125p per mile!  Actually more, because they will have got
• Private Hire Taxi Emissions Regulations 2020? 25 Jul 2018 (Forum)
  I mean. Hence Im asking all these questions and hopefully get help here so I know which car to get to own that wont affect me when it comes to 2020 regulations and beyond. When a person invests £1000's its sensible to ask first to make sure its right which is understandeable. Ok
• Petrol, AWD, auto - which SUV? 7 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  ) SX4 S-cross (slightly bigger but still small) Toyota RAV4 (pricey and bit larger than my need) Mitsubhish Ellipse Cross (not yet in market but boot seems small) Nissan Qashqai     I currently drive Kia Ceed. I like Kia Sportage
• Peugeot 106 1.1 1997 - Toasty Buns 9 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  Just a quick update .... from the cold wife, to the heating on chilling morns threads the £6 remnote control arrived today and by luck the local  Aldi had heated car seat s for £10 with 3 year guarantee !! This is just to show that it works
• Material insurance exclusion - check your policy!! 22 Jun 2017 (Forum)
  Is it me, or is this widely known amongst us, the UK consumer? I have a fully comprehensive policy with Admiral.   If you do, did you know that...
• Lots of cool retro cars on tv these days 14 Apr 2017 (Forum)
  , an early-mid 80's Opel Rekord was being driven by Jude Law in 'Black Sea'!. Very obscure, especially as it was in the UK. I also remember, from a few years ago, a lovely Alfa Romeo (a Giulia i think) being used in an advert for (bizarrely) maltesers! Anybody else noticed any other interesting
• All models - Are Volkswagens as good as they used to be. 10 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  ended up with another VW. The attraction has been the build quality compared to others, I liked the Ford S Max but the chunks of foam sticking out at the seat hinges when the seat was folded put me off. Honda FR-V fitted the bill at the time but the ugly spot welds in the door shuts and tailgate
• MPV required - Car hire in USA/Canada - OMG what a dismal choice 10 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  , preferably an Estate... with 2 of them we could seat 6 between 2 cars easily with plenty of luggage space.  NOT IN THE USA (or Canada) forget it, they only do "sedans"  which have s*** about of boot space.  Its not as if Vauxhall and Ford aren't USA owned !   This has the potential
• Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 diesel - Squeaking engine 2 Apr 2015 (Forum)
  had been the air pushing through the knackered fuel injector and then when it worsened, the second noise started. This real mechanic saved me 100's of pounds - just thought I would share this as a lot of the other old posts went through the same as I did (but spending money unnecessarily
• Skoda Fabia - Lifetime Components 3 Feb 2015 (Forum)
  of the "Lifetime fit" components or fluids would be best replaced in anticipation of failure at this point, rather then let them get to the failure point (As seems to be the VAG policy) and then cost me big ££££s in major component replacement. Nick
