Over-cautious "slow" signs 15 Mar 2005 (Forum)
Is the establishment being over-cautious? Most of the ?slow? signs might have been relevant when there were no speed limits on rural roads, no MOT tests, no high-friction road surfaces and when vehicles were much cruder than they are now. But it?s hard to get into difficulties now in a modern -
tyres for shogun 14 Feb 2005 (Forum)
Hi, need a new set of tyres for our 02 shogun lwb. The Dunlop TG35's have lasted 45k miles and have been OK, but I have nothing to compare with. Comfort, long life and wet grip are important. Low rolling resistance would be nice aswell. Off road driving is limited to a 1 mile pot holed unadopted -
getting paid for test drive 2 Feb 2005 (Forum)
I've received (in the post) an invitation from Citroen to take a test drive. Apparently, if I accept the invitation, I'll get £15 worth of M&S vouchers. Seems like a good offer to me! I take it other Citroen owners are all getting the same? (And do other manufacturers make this sort of offer -

Low mileage in a long period of time 3 Nov 2004 (Forum)
At the risk of becoming boring, I'd like to repeat a question that was unanswered when it was part of an earlier thread. I'm considering buying a used car that has only done 1200 miles in 16 months. How harmful to the mechanical parts would the long period(s) of idleness have been? The car -

Someone has just told me that all four injectors in a rail fire at the same moment. Can this be true? I had assumed that the reason for one injector per cylinder was so that each was timed precisely for the correct point on that cylinder\'s cycle. I thought the whole point about fuel injection -
Tightening up roof-lining material 30 Apr 2004 (Forum)
My car has an after market glass electric s/roof fitted. It's an extremely good one but the car is 8 now and where the original rooflining was re-applied to the sliding panel underneath the glass roof, it has become a little bit creased. It feels as if there is a thin layer of foam backing -
