  TDV6 HSE on dual purpose tyres did 70-0mph in 51.2m with a kerbweight of 2718kg. Rather puts paid to one of the anti-brigades main arguments that 4X4's have longer stopping distances! As a Range Rover driver I may be a little biased, but it has to be good for all motorists to have some factual

• Car Finance Laws 23 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  the signer to be present. Fair enough. I arranged to collect the car next Saturday anyway as its the exact spec I wanted. I asked for them to fax me a copy of the agreement so I could read the terms and check all the details before making a 200 mile trip to sign and collect. I was told it?s illegal

• Daimler Double Six. Any good? 8 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Probably a sucker for punishment, but I really fancy a Daimler Double Six. The Series 3 Jag version and in addition to the overpriced S****ra of course. Has anyone any experience of running or working on these? Prices go from £300 to £15000 for a brilliant one, so the margin for getting

• Letter from Telford 19 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  the historical grandeur. It\'s just a mass of retail parks surrounded by dual carriageways, set out like huge roundabouts. Utterly lacking in any redeeming features. Travelling is taking between 3:30 and 4:45 at present. Roll on the winter and the inevitable 6:00plus home trip. If I think of anything
• Mondeo wheel trims move on wheel 14 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  - Continental Premium Contact. They replaced the front tyres with Continental Sport Contact 2's under warranty but that didn't solve the problem. I've seen other Mondeos with wheel trims out of alignment with the valve, so I know I'm not alone in having this problem. Has anyone else had this problem and have

• Fabia petrol - Groaning! 24 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  today. Needless to say, animal well behaved and refused to perform. Feel a really wally. Any ideas what it can be? Sounds like some pump is pressurising upon turning on the ignition circuit before starting engine. Noise seems to be coming from n/s engine bay. Should I worry? Advice most welcome
