• Aygo 2014 - old style - Aygo brake disc condition 15 Apr 2017 (Forum)

  Thinking of adding water temp (the existing is not direct reading), oil pressure, oil temp and boost pressure, on "A" pillar housing(s). Yes, it's a strange choice of car, let's say it's a practise run.... Where best to insert the senders/sensors, either specific to this engine should anyone
• any - sorn problem 5 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  My son is trying to SORN his car which is still insured (to the end of the week) and taxed but he will cash that in. Both on-line and automated DVLA systems refuse to accept his data. All we can think is that the V5 which is only 2 years old is still the old blue type - although DVLA site says
• Vauxhall Astra E - Very old Astra 7 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  [No idea if the letter is correct} Following a recent family bereavement, we have a 1995 Vauxhall Astra Merit Automatic with only 12000 miles on the clock. Is there any market at all for this, or is it simply a one-way trip to the scrap yard? This seems an awful waste, as the car
• Had lemons-what about peaches? 26 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  We had a lemon thread the other day and got to thinking what the peaches over the last few years have been. Maybe a bargain car or one that just somehow you were very fond of and gave you that magic moment or two. My old Victor (fd) I think 2 litre once on a late night trip from London to Dorset

• Crazy insurance prices 8 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  It's costing me 280 a year to insure an old banger worth 200 quid, third party fire and theft. I phoned up to ask them how much extra it would be if I changed cars to a R reg Audi S8 4.2, which is listed as Group 20. An extra 270 quid. I asked the dude to check his price three times, as I

• How long do engines last? 2 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Showed my dad an advert of the car i want -\'96 Mazda 323 1.5 gxi with 70,000 miles. His first concern was that 70,000 miles is too much for a petrol engine (my/his old diesel corolla has done 86,000) and i should watch out for blue smoke etc etc. I had never even thought about 70,000 miles
• Hood shrinkage 29 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  The hood on my vitesse has shrunk during this summer. I don't know whether it was because it was off the car while body work was being done ( 3 whole months but that's another complaint!) or old age (it's about 7 years old, probably mohair) or the fact that I used a well known hood dye

• Xchg EOL car for ~ sort - bits to keep? 25 Mar 2007 (Forum)

• Super unleaded petrol 23 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Just changed car to a 1.6 litre Fiat Multiwagon. Can't decide whether to run on premium or super unleaded. Old car, 2.4 litre Mitsubishi, ran well on Optimax. Is new engine too small to justify extra cost?
• Time wears cars out? 8 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  Sorry for the repeat, but I think the following got lost in the old messages - Robin wrote: 'Thing one: time wears cars out more than mileage these days,like aeroplanes.' Interesting point - Do the people who repair cars when they wear out agree?
• High milage cars 27 Feb 2001 (Forum)
  I am looking for a 3 or 4 year old car to last about 6 years at 7,000 or 8,000 miles per year. Would a car in good condition but with 90,000 or 100,000miles miles be a good bet? If so which of the golf or larger estates would you recomend I look at?
