  that this is more than likely unfair. So, thoughts? Next thought was....and you're going to laugh here. Mitsubishi FTO. I know! These are 2.0 V6's and I'm sure I read a while ago Aprilia praising the MIVAC engines. They're fairly small and I realise I've gone from family car to fun car but I'm just weighing up

  . He emerged and said "nothing to do with us, we haven't touched your gearbox, it 's your bad luck" I spoke to regional manager who said they wouldn't accept responsiblity and so I explained I was taking it to a auto-box specialist.

  of these? Then there's the Civic Type R, or the poor man's S version, both of which I know are great cars. Anyone got anything bad to say about them?

  , so whilst I was in the accessory shop I picked up a packet of Valeting cloths. They say that they are lint free and that\'s about it. No directions for use, or comments about suitability for different areas of the car. However, as I\'ve always been fairly happy with their own brand
• What to buy????????? 3 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  , Zetec S and Ghia X trim (can't resist 6disc CD and big wheels) good value for money at super sites and such. Read loads of reviews on the Mondeo, and found wind noise and refinement not as good as others in class. (Autocar, What Car?) Citroen C5 estate SXi with 2.2 HDi engine. Good refinement

  of up to 18%. Why were we not told of that? The study?s claim that, ?Gatsos save lives? have been dismissed as ?naughty? by statisticians from Cardiff University.

• Positioning - Nigel Albright 23 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  and the basic rules of acceleration and braking are also ?in a straight line?. So it certainly makes sense to look for situations where the vehicle can be kept in, or close to, it?s most stable configuration for as much of the time as possible. There are also less stresses on the suspension, less wear on tyres

  My 2015 X250 XF 3.0D S had an advisory for a rear differential fluid leak on its first MoT in 2018 at 15,000 miles. A new seal was fitted by the Jaguar dealer in 2018 and I assumed the problem was fully resolved. However, I took the car in for a Jaguar dealer service today at 40,000 miles
• New year, new car 9 Dec 2021 (Forum)
  “Mild Hybrids” are simply a waste of space and there are no plug ins in my budget. If not it would have to be a VAG Tsi, the 1.4/1.5 seen to have great reviews (except for the early 1.5’s issues). So my initial shortlist is based on the best prices I have found on-line
