  on the dashboard - http://i40.tinypic.com/349ez5s.jpg Secondly, the spec is slightly wrong. The alloys are not what you would expect on an Se spec car, they are the 16" Toronto wheels from the S model, not the atlanta wheels the Se should have. The interior
• Land Rover Freelander 2 (2006 - ) - Cold Start / Glowplugs 9 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  . Two questions:- To other Freelander 2 owners, how cold does it have to be before there is a delay while the glowplugs do their stuff? To other users who have this 2.2 engine in other vehicles (Peugeot 4007 and 407, Citroen C-Crosser and various C5s and C6s, Mitsubishi Outlander 2.2, Ford S-Max
• Budget 4x4 advice anyone? 12 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  was a bit embarrassing! :S One of the difficulties is that I am based in London, so there will very significant motorway journeys to wherever I want to get to (Cornwall, Scotland and Wales to name a few), which makes anything like a Defender an unrealistic prospect. However, on the other hand there's
• Passat CC or Audi A4 ? 25 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  - Old and unattractive, Mazda 6 - Unbeleiveably plasticky and tinny, like a 1980's Datsun Cherry with its corduroy seats. and Amstrad HI FI Dashboard. How they manage to sell any of these I can not imagine. Also Honda Accord EX GT - not enough Legroom. Vauxhall Insignia Exclusiv Nav 160 - Looks nice
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 03 1.8 Are "Vetech" suspension arms any good? 9 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Hi all. Feel a bit cheeky asking for help on my first thread but we all have to start somewhere I guess! Anyway, I have decided for several reasons to replace the Front O/S Lower Suspension Arm on my Focus Estate TDDI. I normally use Unipart for spares as they are allways the cheapest
• Honda Jazz/Fit (2008 - ) - New Jazz Co2 levels higher than expected. 12 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  said that, we don't know for sure that the i20's figure will be 120 or below - but I would disappointed if it weren't. I guess a number of bods awaiting the new Jazz model may reconsider and take advantage of the offers on the old CVT model that, hopefully, will abound in coming weeks.
• Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - 1997 1.3 idle and drive issues 16 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  intermittent. The stutter causes the car to lose acceleration and power, such like if the turbo was broken on a diesel. Increasing the throttle only causes the stutter to get worse; eventually the power does come back. Or I have to put the car into neutral and use full throttle until full revs come back. It?s
• Parking Question 13 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  heard that they charge upto £1000 for this type of work which to benefit someone else when I sell the house in 2-3 years* I simply cant afford My real concern is the likely damage to my car, as it?s the left hand side front wheel that has to do all the climbing, I take the car up very, very slowly

  is back up to 44-48 but after startup next morning it drops back to low 40's and if she does a few cold starts during day it gets even lower -- Doing a tank full to tank full consumption work out it's coming out at 44-45. Thanks
• Saving fuel: Car vs House 2 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  . HOWEVER, very little seems to be done to persuade householders to use less fuel (i.e. heating oil) - and indeed, to use less heating generally, since about 75% (or so I am told) of the UK?s electricity is generated from the combustion of fossil fuels. In my efforts to conserve fuel, I changed my driving
• Ford StreetKa (2003 - ) - (another) Ford warranty question 26 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  and agreed. Now how many people wouldn?t know it?s optional and just go with it??? Anyway????.. Friday we drop the car off and get told ?that it?ll be £215 when we collect? . EXCUSE ME !!!!!! Their justification was that the ?value? service is only meant for cars over 3 years old and that by having

• DMF's and the van connection 14 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  falling apart all over the place with disgruntled owners jumping up and down and shouting from the rooftops. I drove transits back in the 70's, they used the V4 petrol which in its high compression form in the Ford cars would blow a head gasket very often, but in LC form as fitted to transit would last
• Honda Accord Tourer (2003 - 2008) - Misfuelling - how to prove a negative? 13 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  CC for payment, so I can corroborate that way. But, my question is, if they are starting to manouver to get out of repairing the car, how the hell do I prove that I haven?t put a small amount of petrol in there?? It?s proving a negative, and we all know that can?t be done. The only thing in my
• Pug 306TD Conrod Failure-Engine Change. 27 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  All, had a, what would appear to be fairly common, conrod pop on my 98 'S' puggy. Have dropped another engine in, and having read the very good advice on this site, swapped the injector pumps to avoid the immobiliser problem. Engines all in, ready to go (minus coolant at the mo till i know

• RTA-advice needed? 25 May 2007 (Forum)
  to pay this much since the garage he knows will do the work for £20! Since I have not been involved in a situation like this I am not sure what the best thing is to do next. Obviously I want the car to be repaired to a good standard, at the taxi driver?s expense. I am concerned that if I don?t accept
• Seat adjustment advice 4 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  is too small, although in theory for cars 'one size fits all' it would be easier if I was only 5-7'' etc. The only car I remember that was similar was an original Mini back in the 80's where you always had a hunched driving position. Reason for all this is I have got some back pain between my shoulder
