• Toyota Estates Camry, Carnia or Avensis? 15 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  . Ideally I'd like the car to have the following features: 2.0-2.2 engine preferably diesel Automatic gearbox Rear load cover Air Con Remote Locking Alloys I cover about 400-500 miles a week on average and so a reliable car is a must. The bigger the car the better as far as I'm concerned but what really
• Renaul Clio 1.6 RXE (Water getting in) 16 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  the water can be getting in as there is no real evidence of a leak. The car does have air-con but that has not been used for ages, I have also checked for a leaking heater matrix etc but with no joy. The car does have a tilt and slide sunroof, but I can't see how water can migrate from the roof to lower

  trips, of which I do quite a few. 4). When were the various facelifts done and what changes were made. It seems that around 95/96 that Air Con became Climate but what else happened through the model years. 5). What is security like. I think a tracker would be a good idea and a lot of them seem to have
• Now an MR-2 11 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  we negotiate on price when I mentioned imports - threw in air con for free as well. Not many used on the market, and they seem to be at very high prices, but the way he crumbled worried me a bit. What are the disadvantages from buying from Tradesales? Are the cars to the same spec and have underseal
• Audi TT Coupe - Why is my coolant tank still boiling and losing? 7 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  a compression test and it pressurised immediately also the gas test and it hanged from blue to green or vice versa indicating a head gaskett blown.

• Nippon pong remover 12 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  Postings have appeared asking how to get rid of stale air-con smells and kill bacteria in the ventilation system. Our Japanese car accessory shop is the size of a medium supermarket and carries stuff you?ve never heard of (and frequently can?t read the instructions for). So I decided to see what
• Volkswagen Golf IV (1998 - 2004) - 01 1.6 SE Cuts out when idle/coast- Runs Rough 25 May 2011 (Forum)
  appears to be becoming more frequent, so I'm worried it's getting worse. I find that running the air con at full power seems to make it worse as well. If I stop the engine, wait 5 minutes, the car runs just fine, and so long as it's had a chance to warm up, will be fine. until the trip home... I don't

  for about 5 seconds) then it cut out.   I had the air-conditioning switched on at the time (not sure if this makes any difference though as I have had air-con on many times before).   The electrics were ok (cd player still on etc) but power steering and engine was gone

  " now excuse me, but who buys a car that they find ugly? Must be some strange people about? It goes on air-con, audio, nav systems, i have had no problems, the air con is weak, but i read some were that some systems have smaller compressors to better economy? You should always back up the sat nav DVD

• Recommendations - used mini MPV, wheelchair etc. 14 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  the boot floor or otherwise would be good I also really want a heated front windscreen in this next car, as I'm fed up of waiting 5-10 minutes for the inside to defrost!  Air con would be great, though not as important. Lastly, I'd like something that is reasonably low emission

  with it. It seems to be shuddering when idle and when driving and seemed to not respond to the accelerator, and then shoot forward. The engine management light was also on. The dealer replaced an o2 sensor and it seems to be running smoother. It still varies its revs slightly when idle, especially if air con etc
• Mazda MPV (2000 - 2007) - 53 plate Mazda MPV - keep or replace? 26 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  original choice of car, the sliding rear doors and versatility offered by having 5 removeable seats were at the top of the list and I also liked the combination of electric sunroof and separate front/rear air-con but I realise some compromise on such things may be required. I guess my budget would
• Another vague "what car should I buy" post! 5 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  Hi all. Well, like the title says, I'm looking for some ideas for my next car. I currently drive a Porsche 944, but it's a bit aged (1986, odd bits are temperamental) and requires quite a lot of maintenance, plus it doesn't have air con and the back seats are very small. I do however love the way

  I have a peugeot 406 2.0 HDi RHZ 2001 with air con. A few months ago a valve snapped and mashed the engine up quite badly. Since then I have replaced the engine with another RHZ and put new belts on. Since the new engine has been in I have had more issues. Firstly it was flashing up the engine

  of plastic (usually black too, which absorbs loads of sun and fries you or makes your air con work harder / longer / more often). Takes up space too. Current VW beetle for example. Its seems to be about a foot and a half from the windscreen to the front lip of the dash.

• Hyundai and Kia 30 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  felt that level of torque in such a small car before, it's really like a rocket up the a*se! The handling's also pretty good, and the clutch is feather-light, gearchange is effortless. The interior isn't cheap, and toys like air-con come as standard. Needless to say she's put her deposit down and we're
• Fiat Stilos - The quickest review ever 8 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  My mate bought a 1.6 Fiat Stilo Dynamic yesterday and I must say, for what it is, I'm very impressed. The kit on them puts Fords and Vauxhalls to shame. I think it's only the one up from base spec and has; Adjustable rear seats, computer, air con, reverse parking sensors, central locking, alarm
