• Now the salt lays round about deep & crisp & even 3 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  - salt scattered in bulk at speed - as though bombing the continent a couple of decades earlier. A hint of frost? A thousand gritter lorry raid. Top speed, chunks of salt like bullets, whole piles of it in the gutter on bends as though waiting to accommodate a load of Cod. Salt flung out so hard, it`s
• BMW 3-Series E36 (1991 - 1998) - 1997 2.5 vibration from rear 13 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  About 3 weeks ago I replaced both rear tyres on my BMW 323i touring with a new set of Avon ZV3's. When I drove down my local dual carriageway there was a vibration from the back, pervading the whole car and through the feet. I took the car back to the tyre dealer and had them rebalanced. Still
• Would you stop for anyone these days? 27 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  Clearly broken down that is? It just seems appreciation of the effort, at best, is worse. Used to carry a big toolkit and spares, from the 60`s to the late 90`s. In the early years helped lots of folk out, with punctures, points etc. Once rewired a blokes trailer board at a motorway services
• A bargain,am I missing something? 20 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  / ABS / CD etc. Am I missing something? I realise a Focus would give a better drive and look nicer, that is clear, but as my wife does only 3,000 miles a year, driving pleasure takes a back seat against value and safety. Also the most savage depreciation has passed and it is likely only to lose 100's
• Corolla vibration 30 May 2007 (Forum)
  and it flew through the emissions test with flying colours at the MoT. Performance and fuel consumption are good (although the best torque is found much lower in the rev range than I would have expected from a 16valve Toyota). The best way I can describe the sound is that it?s like a sheet of thick plastic
• Saab 95 Aero estate airbag deployment 19 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  On 1st April 2007 the driver?s airbag suddenly deployed when I turned on the ignition while parked. In taking this up with Saab I was told that there was no evidence of a manufacturing defect or any other subsequent cause and that as the car was well out of warranty, it was my problem, not theirs

The song is about red-haired Molly and James, their love of the Vincent Black Lightning of the song?s title, James?s death from gunshot wounds and his gifting of the bike to Molly, as he lies dying and sees ?angels on Ariels in leather and chrome?. In 1959, my father bought a 1952 Vincent

  Weird abs fault One of our VW LT28 hire vans was returned recently with a totally wrecked n/s/r wheel bearing and half shaft. (Been making a funny noise for weeks said the hirer). The ABS sensor and ring were damaged and the wiring melted. Everything was replaced using genuine VW parts. The half
• Peugeot 406 stalling during warmup 20 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Here?s a puzzling one. The engine on my Peugeot 406 2.0 (1998/S) petrol runs fine when cold, and when very hot, but during the warm up period there is a nasty period when it stalls, falters when driving off, flat spots and is generally unhappy. During this period, the orange ?check engine? light

• By Car to India 2 May 2005 (Forum)
  After clearing out the attic I came across this book called 'By Car to India' written by Major Forbes-Leith. It's about his trip from Leeds to India in 1924 in a 14hp Wolseley. The book itself seems to date from the late 1920's I would think judging by some of the terminology used, although

  to proceed cautiously, ready to pull over and slow down or stop to let the car entering through. Entering cars have right of way. As I went around the bend, just entering the straight, I was confronted by a small white tradesman?s van bombing along on my side of the road. I pulled over as far to the verge
