• Volkswagen Golf V - Petrol or diesel 29 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  ". So should I go the petrol route?  I certainly get less miles on the clock for my money.   The 1.6FSi has 114 lb-ft of torque compared to the 323's 105 - too close to call? My assumption is that for the 2.0 petrol FSi, I'm looking at similar prices to the 2.0 TDi? I hope

  comparison sites and some other direct sites and they don?t seem to have their car listed. They do have the manual version though. A phone call to one of the direct companies got a rather odd response along the lines of: ?Use the manual car?s details. I have checked with the underwriter who says
• Diesels falling apart 14 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  miles and turbo and DMF gone on that too. Last month we had a Vectra 1.9 D (2005 or 6, can't remember) engine totally AWOL at 100k (it was a taxi) and a similar age Mondeo TDCI with broken up fuel pump at 60k. No wonder there are some cheap s/hand cars about. My little bit of advice to diesel owners

  driving to the Isles via a 6 hour ferry crossing somewhere. His company would have got the work as they were cheapest . So there we have it, pure folly , man does 1000's of miles when a local alternative was priced out. Driving a cherry picker from London to the Wester Isles. World gone crazy

Still can't ween some of them off their big thirsty V8's Walked some of the hills featured in Bullit. Flipping steep! more so than it looks on film (Russian

  anything! They appear to carry the whole weight of the rear of the car. Looks like a complete rear suspension-off job to fix. It's quite a surprise when the bodywork is in such good nick - 106's don't seem to rust where you can see it..... Has anyone else found the same - or worse?

• Modern Dash's, any need for the clutter? 8 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  are contained in these ?funnels? , I really struggle to see anything on the dash and find it quite of putting, as I have to look down these ?pipes? just to see anything ? I like a dash that?s clear and well laid out, it just seems that everything is squashed together (warning/information lights on the dials
• The modern non motorist and the `sealed` bonnet 5 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  it seems down to the oil consumption. I wonder how many cars are making it to two years and 20,000 miles without opening the bonnet and whether bonnet hinges ever seize and snap off at service time? What a triumph though for anyone who`s actually succeeded at never doing anything but drive and yet sold

• Mercedes Benz C-Class W203 (2000 - 2007) - 01 2.2 loss of power,jerking,smoking and hissing . 5 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  attempts at intant accelaration gives off a screeching and hissing noise,intermittent jerks and the engine feels like its stiffled.There 's been no check engine sign and replacing the MAF,fuel filter or decarbonating the air circuit has not helped so far(though we got out huge lumps of accumulated soot
• Does aircon normally run when heater is on? 23 Jun 2009 (Forum)
  to use a/c when it was trying to heat? I know the heat is effectively free, but the a/c compressor must put some load on the engine. I guess I should keep the a/c off when I don't need it in future. This is on a Jag S-type, which maintains a specified cabin temperature when the heater controls are set
• Renault Espace (1997 - 2002) - 02 Air Conditioning not working. 20 Jun 2009 (Forum)
