• Citroen C4 Coupe (2005) - Citroen C4 2005 - Known Issue? 19 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  that although is 5 years old has very low mileage and has in no way been thrashed around at all. Is there anything I can argue with the dealers to get this cost reduced?  I have seen many people with clutch issues in C4's so am wondering if it is a design fault that they should go so early?  I

  wrong. Any suggestions would be great as i can not afford to pay out about £500 to change timing chain and it not cure the problem, someone did also say it may be the on board computer which again cost £100's. Sorry a bit all over the place here new to this. The car when i start it has

• Ford focus 02 1.6 Zetec - Loosing power steering fluid after MOT 10 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  for some ford P/S fluid, (MC2 195-A, £20 a bottle, if you're wondering) I've filled it up and run it for a few minutes and the poorly sounding pump sounds a lot happier.     However, when the engine is running, the fluid leaks with 1 drip every second or so from underneath

  of the mind that the ECU relay may be at fault having scrolled thru' annuls of forums but a) where is the ECU relay - unable to locate near fuse box under dashboard on o/s and b) are there any other faults that could be occurring? Fuel pump primes readily and all lights etc are as they should be as is fuse
• Done 2000 miles in my car now 24 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  very rare to find a 16v late 90's supermini which is also cheaper to insure than slower 8vs. In the mean time I have been spending a bit of money on my other hobbies, HIFI and photography (photography costs is my excuse to visit different cities!).

  symptoms or fault codes. I have changed the plugs to no avail, coil pack and leads changed last summer. Can anyone offer any insight here before I go wasting money replacing random parts? I?m looking for a cheapish fix if possible! Also (it?s a digital dash display for temp) why didn?t my gauge show

  details and everyone would been on their way within 10 minutes or so. Not nowadays, the Sharon driver gets out but the Astra occupants stay put. To cut a long story short, the bomberos are called to cut the roof off. All Astra occupants must have apparently suffered '£££whiplash£££'s' So, a minor bump

  and torquey 1.6 engine. Allow the revs to climb to about 3500 and the valve timing changes ? you can feel the extra surge. Great for overtaking. Great gearchange and clutch, brilliant steering and handling. A driver?s treat. But it achieves this by still offering a good supple ride. Comfortable seats
• Engines - big and lazy or small and highly-strung? 29 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  At RTJ70's suggestion, let's not confuse a general, though interesting, issue with Oldgit's original question specific to the VW Golf 1.4 TSI. The more general issue - which some people have commented on already in the other thread - is "is there a risk of early failure in a small, highly tuned
• Citroen C4 Picasso 5-st (2007 - ) - Seduced by Picasso 23 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  time my wife has actually enthused over a test drive, rather than say "it's a car in'it"? I had a C4 hatchback before the Saab and was very pleased with it, so.....why am I waking up in a cold sweat each day? I have read the reviews about it not being as sharp to drive as the S-Max or the Scenic
• M25 Cameras 10 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  So yeah the other night I used the M25 for only the second time and??roadworks. I didn?t get flashed, im assuming I?d have seen it as im told its very bright right? Camera wise all that?s bothering me is those average speed ones. A couple of times I had issues with speed limits. I try
• Peugeot 407 (2004 - ) - 2004 2.0 HDI 136 Fuel Economy 9 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  something wrong or the economy on these Pugs is pathetic. Are there any things to go to the dealer armed with, any possible explanations? From what they said when I booked it in they think it is not that far removed from normal but the economy figures quoted everywhere are identical to the Mondeo`s
• How dopey...? 28 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  . Unremarkable, except that I know a bit about the S60 and not only does it have two bulbs for each tail light, but the computer (even the bare-bones one in my S model) gives you an unmissable and specific warning when one of them fails. So this driver (youngish, male, didn't look dim or impoverished) had been
• Peugeot 307 SW (2002 - 2008) - 04 1.6 Worse than expected 1.6 HDI Economy 25 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  to get the best economy possible. The 307's computer tells me I'm averaging 56-57MPG & I'd be very happy with that, but on measuring what I'm putting in the tank, it's only 48! Exactly the same driving profile as the 306. I tried driving extra-economically on a long round trip of 1700 miles & whereas
• Driving in Argentina 20 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  I had the good fortune to be sent to a week?s conference in Buenos Aires last week. I thought the back room might like to hear something of the differences in the driving experience. Despite the economic crash the ?car fleet? is pretty new and largely European in nature with a sprinkling

The recovery guy said they will do a pressure test to identify the problem, but i dont want them to do the test and then fob me off by telling me it`s not the head gasket
• Honda Accord Tourer (2003 - 2008) - Excessive Service cost ? 28 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  I?m interested in people?s opinions on where I stand on this. I?ve just had my 50k service at a local franchised Honda dealer I?ve not used before. While I am pleased with the service I have received, I am not as happy with the price I have paid. When I rang to ask for a quotation for the 50k
