Cuban Cars ... 27 Feb 2005 (Forum)
Watching that James Bond tosh last night, with JB driving a 50's American monster in Cuba; do they still drive those old cars from the 30's and 50's out there, or are they allowed imports now ?! -

Any owners of the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross 1.6 petrol on this forum? This car has great fuel economy specs, both on official specs, as well as on this site's real economy section. Despite being a crossover and having a 5 speed manual gearbox, The fuel economy figures trumps those of hatchbacks -
Jaguar S-Type (1999 - 2007) - S-type - good deal? 16 Jun 2008 (Forum)
I'm toying with a very late S-type diesel. The car I've seen is in sport guise, no chrome, very smart dark colour an cream leather inside - lovely! It's only 9 months old, about 13,000 miles, cost new about 30k. Now going for under 20k, it seems the XF has hit residuals of the S-type. All -

Fuel comp self calibration? - Ford S-max 13 May 2007 (Forum)
Can you self-calibrate the fuel computer on a ford S-Max. Mine is about 15% optomistic and I know that you could self-calibrate the FC in the Mondeo's by using the two dials/steering wheel controls. If it can be done on an S-MAx, how? I know I can always deduct 15% off the claimed number -
4x4's to be banned in.....Paris 15 Jun 2004 (Forum)
Yep, apparently it's true according to a radio news programme I heard this afternoon with a Labour MP - Paul Flynn ? - 4x4's will soon be banned from Paris! Given Red Ken's recent comments about 4x4's, I think if he gets re-elected there's a good chance he'll try the same tactic in London -
Mercedes 350 S Class saloon. - Mercedes s class experience 20 Jun 2016 (Forum)
While my car is being assessed...could be write off...by a considerable piece of furtune I have an S class as a courtesy car and thought I'd share the experience. The handling is brilliant and you feel no bumps, the switchgear is all beautifully placed and it cruises so smoothly from the comfort -
Ford S-MAX (2006 - ) - Problem with new 2.2 tdci S-Max 2 Oct 2008 (Forum)
I've had my 2.2tdci S-Max for a week or so now. The engine is basically the same as in recent Peugeots and Citroens, but as far as I can tell from official Ford press releases and also from peering into the engine compartment, it uses a single turbo rather than the twin sequential turbos, though -
S-Max to go same way as Signum 23 Jul 2006 (Forum)
Saw a new S-Max while passing my local Ford dealer today and it looks quite attractive, albeit they had a new Galaxy along side and I had to wonder why the front-end looks to be the same on both models? I would have thought this would dilute the image of the S-max somewhat. Anyway, can anyone see -

Does anybody know of an insurance company that will take into account no-claims bonus from another country. I?m trying to sort out a Polish friend in London who?s bought a Passat and if I can find someone who will take into account his current 4-years bonus from Poland the quotes go from £1400 -

Ford S-Max 2.0 Diesel Zetec 2007 - Trouble starting diesel S-Max 29 Mar 2015 (Forum)
Over the last couple of weeks it takes me two or three tries to start my aging S-Max. I'm wondering what the problem might be. It turns over but then fails to fire. Usually on the 2nd and recently more commonly 3rd try it starts. I've noticed that if I leave the ignition at the same position -
4X4's - Used 4X4's a little advice please... 5 Jun 2013 (Forum)
that will be able to tow a trailer. The Shoguns seems to be way too big. It appears that some Landrovers don't have the pulling power. I'd be grateful for some ideas on 4X4's i.e. not too heavy on the diesel, mileage, maintenance. Her budget is around £1.500. Thanks :) -
Ford S-MAX - Ford S-Max Steering Failure - low mileage 4 Aug 2010 (Forum)
of it's 3yr warranty with only 26k miles on clock [Ford S-Max 2.0 TDCi Titanium (56 plate)]. I've heard similar stories that seem to point towards a faulty component but Ford Customer Services want nothing to do with it and will not assist financially -

Hi there, I have a scenic 2.0 Turbo, recently, there has been a rumbling noise from the front end when moving. The N/S front wheel was being scrubbed on the outside. I swapped the two front wheels round N/S onto O/S and vice versa, as i believed that the scrubbing was being caused by a buckled -
That insurance ad 5 May 2003 (Forum)
Am I the only one who\'s driven nuts by the Direct line insurance ad? You know, chummy and girlfriend are driving in the beetle when she asks how much he\'s saved on renewing his car insurance. Ooh about 10%. That\'s a lot, you must have lots of spare cash, says she. Loaded, says he. Right, stop -
"Stupid car" it`s run down the hill on it`s own. 26 Jun 2009 (Forum)
It seems to be taught now, that cars are parked with the handbrake and not left in gear. Perhaps that`s a safety issue when teaching Numpties - so it`s less of a complexity when setting off and less chance of them starting it in gear? Maybe that is a spin off from `gears are go - brakes
