• Ford C-MAX (2003 - 2010) - 04 1.8 Boot Lock 3 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  I believe it's a fairly common problem for the boot lock switch on the C-Max to fail when a bit of moisture gets it. I've read somewhere, and I can't recall where, that it's just a microswitch that needs replacing instead of the Ford option which is the complete unit at £££'s. Has anyone any

• Rear tyre wear 3 May 2009 (Forum)
  My car has recently had it?s first MOT at the main dealership, as part of the service they did a check of all of the fluid levels and gave me a report on the tyre tread depth all round.

• The AEC's that built the M25 11 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  http://aec.middx.net/frames/framephotos1.htm Does anyone remember the huge fleet of ancient red AEC tippers that worked on the construction of the M25 in the 1980's? I used to see them working everyday and it always facinated me how they kept going judging by the heavy punishment they used

• Insurance claims - main reasons for. 19 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  I've been reading "10 ways to avoid making a claim on your car insurance" in the "Fool". These are rather prosaic - there's also this paragraph: "According to M&S Money, these were the top five reasons for car-insurance claims last December: 1. Drove into third party; 2. Hit in rear while
