Im gutted motor provider have got no more in stock as they had them reasonably priced. .******* They are unwilling to go much below 1,000 discount on the diesel models even on the pre-reg 09's. I
• Volvo S60 (2000 - 2009) - 01 2.0 Indicator stalk replacement - Haynes manual 19 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  This is just for advice/info for others, and I suspect also applies to the V70 and S80 of similar vintage. My S60's indicator stalk was becoming intermittent, so with a guaranteed secondhand part delivered this week, set about the task this morning, with my trusty Haynes manual in tow. According
• Renault - Trafic 115 dci SWB 2008 15 Oct 2009 (Forum)
  Thought id share some thoughts on this van which ive had on hire since Friday but have already stuck 600 miles on it. Cab is pretty standard, infact much of the controls remind me of a mid-90's Clio - they feel quite fragile but essentially work ( aside from a couple of electrical bits
• Winter storage of my convertible - Advice please! 30 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  As a few of you might know, I bought a 1990 Jag XJ-S convertible earlier this year. This is stored in a garage for the classic car insurance stipulation, and this is a long single garage. The nights will soon be drawing in and the frosts will not be far behind so I am after some advice

  as follows; Mrs H, " I want a new car, my C3's nearly 10 years old now." H, seated, browsing this very site, "It's actually just 7 years old. Anything in mind, my dear?" Mrs H, "Something that turns heads." Pause. "In red; bright red." H, looking at the rolling Citroen advert and pointing at the pics
• Next car in 18 months time -a blog. 22 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  a 2005 Grand Scenic and I run a 2002 52 Mondeo. The Scenic is used mainly for my wife?s business and school runs. It doubles as the family car on those increasingly rare occasions when all 5 of us go out together. The Scenic is leased on a good deal including maintenance, but I doubt that we will get

• Vauxhall Vectra C (2002 - 2008) - 08 1.8 central locking and 4th gear problem 22 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  in 4th gear, and only in 4th gear. When travelling between about 40/45mph and 60mph, the gear level vibrates enough to cause a mildly unpleasant rattly resonance in the plastic trim which surrounds the gear level (it;s probably the ashtray which is vibrating). On a 35-mile trip yesterday, I changed
• Car rental rates 14 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  and argumentative children I wanted cars that they did not have (e.g. small seven seater like a Kia Carens). Also, the cost of the taxi was more than a day?s car rental, so it made sense to rent a more suitable car from the airport when we arrive. So there are six companies with offices at the airport; five

  of ´rev´sensor (situated near clutch housing) Currently the total cost stands at about £2500... The fault still occurs and now they want to replace sensors on the clutch assembly, the clutch whilst it?s out and also an ECU. This is another total cost of £2500 - however they cannot guarantee
• Which car to buy? 18 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  A4 2.0 TDI Sport - As per the A3, but I only like the S-Line model. So, what would the backroom buy? Budget is circa £6K, I'd be asking Joe Dowd to look out for whichever car I get to ensure that I get a decent price. (typo in header amended)
• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol (1998 - 2004) - '52 1.6 SOHC Full Beam /flash not working 23 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  hydraulic valve lifters, the thermostat is gone ? because the temp gage barely comes out of the cold zone, and when the car is cold it?s so sluggish, and clumsy. I can?t replace the thermostat myself because instead of putting it next to or near the radiator they have hidden it at the back under the timing

The literature also indicates that other factors are likely to have an effect; although it is not known what all the influential factors are, or their relative importance. I
• Sat Nav for a bike. 27 May 2007 (Forum)
  suspect the Garmin is, consequently the Garmin isn't as user friendly as the TT in many respects including the on-screen menu, it has no internal power source so has to be used either in situ or plugged into the mains at least a TT can be used as a handheld if you need to. To me the 2610's menus are too

• Cars easier to service, DIY declining 16 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  with it, but the aygo`s petrol engine must be similar. Both with hydraulic tappets and chain drive camshafts reducing servicing even more. OK, so the computer, management systems are there, but not part of regular servicing. So my question is, why is DIY reducing, when *regular* servicing is easier? I became

  like a Browning M2 on auto. It produces an immense, for a motorcycle, 150nm torque peaking at 3750 rpm, highish in this low revving engine?s range though the torque curve is very flat so it is probably producing 90% of that at less than 2000 rpm. One result of a large engine in a bike is huge engine
