• HJ the Mondewoe has gone, run'g in car? 17 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  The Mondewoe has gone, got £330 for it. The new car is a Nissan Primera 2.2 DCi S, not as basic as it first seems. I thought that as its FIRST service is at 12000 miles I would ask HJs advice on running in and oil changes. My own thoughts were change oil and filter at 2000 miles for a good

• High redlines a fading trend? 5 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  I have a 2002 RSX (Integra) manual. It has 160BHP which generates 141 lb/ft of torque @ 4000 rpm. The Type-S version has 200BHP which generates 142 lb/ft of torque @ 6000 rpm! Please help me understand this. That means to get the extra 40HP in the S you have to rev each gear to 6000 and higher

• Smokey Car. Ford Laser (1992) 21 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  and it stinks! I called the mechanic and he came down and looked at it and said he thought they had put too much oil in. He took some back out and that seemed to fix everything.

• Motor Museums 25 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  from my beloved 414.) Also a *vintage* 1250 cc MG capable of 200mph. I'm wondering if it's the 1250 that later appeared in the various MG's?

• Ford S-MAX (2006 - ) - Test Drive - Impressions 2 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  SWMBO and I made an impromptu stop at the local Ford dealer this afternoon, and ended up taking a test drive in an S-Max off their used forecourt. It was a 10,000 mile 56 plate 1.8 TDCi 125PS Zetec model. This was doubly interesting for me, being able to directly compare it with a Ford from 7

  So I have a 2010 Cooper S, and today the AC stopped blowing cold air. It seemed to work fine last night, but today just blew hot air. The AC light turns on, but just warm air comes from the vents. Not sure if it just needs to be recharged, or what. I don't even know where to start looking. Any
