• Next doors cat & the space time incontinence 5 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  a Haynes on the Fiat Punto - wiring diagram and all. What if there`s an error and you have to pull forward and not down? So that when your genome code is run through the medical repair machine - your left leg drops off - rather than you growing a new liver. Cos if we can`t allegedly
• Happy memories of motoring Bank Holidays 25 May 2009 (Forum)
  What are your Happy memories? Can you give us a `sound bite` (literally that is) and a bit of a write up? (Based on an 8yr olds memory of a `Desert Rat` friend.) It`s 1955 and the crack troops that defeated Rommel in the western desert are again heading towards the coast - radiators boiling

• VW Golf Mk3 poor pick-up from idling 4 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  is that it loses power when I open the throttle quickly from idling ? if I open the throttle more slowly, it will behave. When driving, I can?t open the throttle too much when revs are low, or the car will impersonate a kangaroo. Basically it?s driveable only if I slip the clutch a lot and keep the revs right up

• Driving test grief (need advice) 18 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  an overkill in both cases, correct me if I'm wrong. Is there some quota system, or what is the best time to take the test? Our town?s DSA pride itself on 56% passing rate so we must be doing something wrong. His driving instructor told him people usually make 10 minor faults in average so how do they all get

• keep 306 or s/h almera-primera-mondeo? 4 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  expensive to fix. I'm not interested in residuals since I run 'em into the ground. If I change I'll probably look just after the March registration when there'll be a few more s/h's around. Do you think trader, private or auction would be best for any or all of the above replacements? Also (sorry
• Think I\'ve seen the last of my car.Part1 9 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  . I\'ve been looking at various websites to get an idea of value and they all say around £2500 but I believe my car is worth about £1000 more than this, even though it has quite high mileage of 66k. It\'s a limited edition car in metallic black with alloy wheels. Inside it is immaculate

• Cash Back Motoring (5PencePerMile) 20 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  how many miles your car has travelled, multiply that by 5 pence and that?s how much you will be refunded; cover 10,000 miles and get a cheque for £500. This encourages us to drive economically because the price you pay for your fuel is determined by your average mpg. Take a motorist who bought
