• Amatuer Servicing Question Lander&PugTD 18 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  (1995 model) and it\'s now done 120K. Are there any benefits to putting Valvoline turbo diesel and Slick50 in it ? I intend to do a few more miles in it yet and it gets a good all round drive most of the year at various speeds etc.
• Mystery car 1 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  I always thought I had a well fitting anorak when it comes to odd cars, but one has got me stumped. A friend mentioned a car he saw yesterday, and I can't think for the life of me what it might be. Small, boxy little rag top which he reckoned looked 60's but was on a '91 'H' plate (possible late
• If you have kids,look at this 17 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  This is a site your kids will love. You should use high quality paper and ink, but if you don't you can glue the shapes to card and paint over the colours. I blame BL/ Triumph for this. They did a cardboard cutout of the Triumph Acclaim in the 80's and I was hooked. Thanks for putting up with me.
• 200SX or 328 Sport 1 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  After much deliberation, I've finally managed to whittle down the wishlist of motors to two possibles...a Nissan 200SX or a BMW 328 Sport. It looks like I'll get more motor for my £££s with the 200, but I'll also lose more (probably) when I sell it as the 328 Sport seems to hold its value really

• Flat Rate 29 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  Watching BBC2's Wrong Car, Right Car Dominic is often seen hammering his calculator in order to calculate the amount in monthly repayments the punter will have to pay based on the dealer's quoted interest rate. Plus they always talk about the 'flat rate' of interest. Can someone explain to me
• Unlawful killing... 28 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  Unfortunately Dave had to remove that thread last night. Despite my warnings and despite Dave\'s deletions the night before, various people still felt it was really cool and fun to get all abusive and insulting, clearly being incapable of reasoned debate. We have better things to do with our time
• Convertible Roof Repairs 11 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  I own a 1972 Peugeot 504 convertible, with a torn roof. It\'s about 5 inches long, (the tear not the roof), just above the drivers door. I can\'t imagine what a new convertible roof costs, I do know I couldn\'t afford it. Does anyone know a good way to repair these?, other than sticking a patch
• Europe's worst drivers 15 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  & present danger for the sake of saving 0.5 seconds on their journey. Funnily enough, and with apologies to John S and pugugly, most of the really bad overseas examples were in BMWs, but we've been there before. So: This house proposes the motion that on average the worst drivers in Europe

• Peugeot Classics 4 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  stand out. It's easy to do this with the Mini or the Ford T-Bird because it's easy to see what made them great - I can't see the point in designing something and nobody knowing what it is! Which classic (pre-70's) Peugeot designs stand out to you lot?? Any help will be much appreciated! Jamie
• 306 Driveshafts 26 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  Hi Everyone, After replacing the front shock absorbers on my 306 DTurbo (XUD9T), I have noticed that the driveshafts have some movement in them. Even with the weight of the car on them, I seem to be able to move the shaft in and out by a few mm. (Lefthand N/S shaft). Is this normal, or could I

• Moving to Spain 23 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  We are seriously considering retiring to Spain. I have a V-reg Focus tdi Zetec (rhd of course), with 34k, high spec (side bags, ABS, aircon, metallic etc). I paid £12k, from Belgium & have lavished much TLC (& £'s) on it. I love it, apart from its excessive thirst (for an oil-burner). I'd

  I own a Fiesta Zetec S which is 2 months old and has now covered 1500 miles. When the clutch is not depressed the engine is noisy, however when the clutch is depressed the engine noise is minimal. During the 1500 mile complimentary check I mentioned this fault to the mechanc. On collecting
• Rover flywheel wear 4 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  Does anyone know whether old style Rover 200's (1990-95 models) are prone to wear on the teeth of their flywheels as my 92,000 mile 214 is grinding its starter on start up (as though I'd try to start it while the engine is running) The fault is inetermittent but getting worse. I have looked
• Brakes on a Passat 10 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  I bought a 2nd hand Passat in November (20,000 miles, S reg). I got it from a VW dealer and thus have a year's warranty. Since I bought it the front nearside brake has been making a terrible grinding noise. Sounds like metal on metal. Despite the dealer changing the discs twice and the pads three
• Renault Espace 1 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  Hello, Some time ago, someone mentioned (Was it HJ ?)the better model of a s/h Espace to suit a potential buyer who was short on funds. My ageing Nissan Prairie will have to go soon and I fancy an Espace, preferably diesel, possibly with auto transmission. Funds are limited to around £5000
