• A return to art Deco car style or more road slugs? 19 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  and you have to do the limbo to get in under it. There`s that long pedestrian friendly snout, out front, just aching for two antennae and eyeballs. Its no wonder people buy four wheel drives to get into a reasonable cabin with a more vertical windscreen and decent windows not reminiscent of the arrow
• Clutch Swaps - the Good, the Bad and the Ugly! 6 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  OK Guys (and girls) This could be an interesting thread. Some clutch changes are so easy - I remember Vauxhalls from the mid 80's, where you removed a cover, slid back the input shaft from the end of the gearbox, and changed your clutch. Engine didn't need to come out. I counted that 'Good
• Driving in Amsterdam 28 Jan 2008 (Forum)

• Audi A4 (1995 - 2000) - (1998) - Alarm Fault? 28 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  Hello all, hopefully some one can help me out on here about this?... After a good old clean of my cars interior, I discovered a button on the side of my car hidden away by the drivers seat. I know it?s the PIR sensor button, but I pressed it, ever since my alarm has been going off at random
• Car park dents (again ??) 14 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  that is in a complete mess - I'm not knocking the owner they clearly see a car as a white goods and that is down to them.

• Road Works- duty to minimise delays ? 25 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  . This resulted in a horrendous tailback. I eventually gave up as there was no way I was going to make it. This type of thing seems to be getting worse as if the delay is irrelevant as we are only motorists! s

• Yobbo driver and the Blame Game... 10 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  mother, Tina Carroll, blamed the Army for allowing the incident to happen. She said: "They leave the hangars open and the tanks mobilised so anyone could go in and anyone could take them.[/b] All the army's fault Indeed! Next thing, it will all be M&S's fault when some vermin gets caught
• Air conditioning, could be better? 10 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  ? is there an argument, that air conditioning in cars is often not fit for purpose, due to the basic principle having proved so robust, but the actual application in a car often so fragile and troublesome? As an aside, I can remember as a lad in the 1960`s a big cold room being set up and an ancient compressor unit

• Its 1969 again ( headgaskets iron heads) 3 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  The sun is on your back, the budgie is on its perch and `lady Madonna` issues from the 2 watt car radio. Yes, its a great July Saturday morning in 1969, you pop the bonnet on your parents drive and BMC`s green cast iron motor gleams back. The long reach sparkplugs slip out easily in their copper
• Octavia(& Golf?) driver's door switch 29 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  lock and buy a complete door lock looks to be £100 plus by Skoda instead of a fe£s by me. I assume the mechanism is the same as the similar year Golfs? Anyone done this job (replacement of door lock due to faulty switch), or the removal of the rear bass speakers, and any idea of costs of parts etc I

  I have a 94 model Sri 16V Ecotec, that has covered 85K miles and has full Vaux S/H, last service at 79K (inc new water pump & cam belt). It hasn't been used much in the last few years but after recently starting it up I noticed the top end is very noisy, sounds a bit like a diesel! I have
• Bye Bye Vectra 23 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  budget is limited. It so happens that the Ford Focus ST 2 costs an extra £30 per month on my scheme above my company allowance, including a contribution to ?car tax?. (It?s a car ownership scheme so we don?t actually pay car tax). The other car is a Mazda 6 2.3l sport which is £20 below budget and I
• Saab 93 Linear Stereo 25 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  they have left all the bass and tweeters out and just left the little mid range ones in for the basic stereo.
