• Fiat Doblo - Steering creak 21 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  Our three year old Doblo has recently developed a creak in the steering, mainly at low speeds, but may may just be more noticeable at low speeds. The power steering fluid levels are fine, so the question is what else could it be? It sounds expensive, the warranty runs out in a month so I may have

• Paris show 27 Sep 2012 (Forum)
  Is it me, or have the designers been allowed to run riot?  Headlights set in the bonnet like searchlights, windows like pill boxes, tyres like the rubber trees are endangered and wheels like combine harvesters. Most of the new launches make me hanker after an old 240.# Mind

  I propose to have the timing belt changed on my 04 Xzara Picasso 2.0 HDi at 75,000 miles.  Should I have the running pulleys and the water pump changed at the same time and should I use a main agent (for protection against subsequent failure) or an independant (for economy)?

  This was the reason a police constable cited when bringing a prosecution, in a Rowan Atkinson sketch. But the Torygraph carries this morning news that we may be prosecuted for sitting in our cars with the engine running. For male drivers, I feel driving without wearing a necktie is particularly
