  of the Avensis forward of the firewall and the Merc was in a similar condition but I was most surprised by the truck which had been completely devastated at the front, it?s wheels were pushed right back and it was leaning into a ditch.

• Golf Lost Steering Servo 24 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  I returned to my car, MkIII Golf, on Friday and noticed the O/S/F wheel was in a puddle but assumed it was water. No such luck, as soon as I pulled away I realised I had no power steering so parked up and looked underneath. Yep a perforated high pressure pipe from the steering box to the N/S rack
• Potholes and Road Safety 29 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  , had been available before the accident? It makes you think: is it due to lack of funds that these thing s don\'t get sorted out or the can\'t-be\'bothered factor?\' And this article followed: \'One way to help out with the pothole situation is to notify the council.

• Don't buy a Toyota - sorry ! 29 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  at it under warranty, all claimed it was fine, and refused to do anything. At 95K miles the car started making a sound like a load of nails from the front.

  at auction? 99T perhaps? I've seen S reg ones on Autotrader for as little as £3k. I'm told Peugeots figures are unreliable. Where can I find accurate, indepedant performance figures for the 406 range? Is it worth considering or should I just go back to the predictable but safe idea of a 1.9TD Xantia SX
• Just done CBT! 18 May 2003 (Forum)
  . I had my CBT booked for today, as the weather had improved sufficiently (well, it was last week!). Of course, s**'s law dictates that it had to throw it down today, but that didn't spoil the fun. Despite the fact that it threw it down, and that I was wobbly as a weeble at low speeds, nothing could
• Disciplinary action - advice sought 31 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  and proceeded to the next. Suddenly the first customer started shouting and complaining about my wife\'s failure to pack her bag. My wife had never been told that bag packing was compulsory and had already started serving another customer. The truth is she panicked and didn\'t know what to do. Whatever she

• Any - How it should work 28 Mar 2023 (Forum)

  Parked just along the road from my house was a quite young but very, very dirty van. This van also had an enormous dent which stretched along the N/S from the passenger door, right along the sliding door to the rear wheel arch.  Now you are probably thinking, well what is noteworthy
• Genesis 25 Aug 2021 (Forum)
  Apologies for the rum induced nostalgia moment, but what was the car which instigated your lifelong interest in cars? For me, after a childhood of dozing in the back of a series of Volvo 340’s my dad suddenly went a bit mad and turned up one night in a 1985 C plate (2 years old at the time) Saab

  it was reliable. I love two-strokes and was wondering if I got a VFR400 would I be dissapointed. I know four-strokes are generally more reliable but are they less fun? I have also noticed that VFR400's are quite pricey (even G and H reg ones) and for the same money I could buy a 600. Any suggestions? Mike

  they are selling electric to the grid and then buying back electric for its service station(s). I expect  the company and its customers are laughing at the moment with the price of electric with no fuel duty or VAT  How long can this be sustainable and what disadvantages to the tax payer and ICE
