• Suzuki Ignis II (2003 - 2007) - Goodwill after warranty expires 23 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  , most probably a leak. It can't be due to misuse as I am used to using my A/C all year round at least once a week. Car is obviously out of warranty but it annoys me as these things should not have happened. Could be in the 100's. I have a good mind to write to Suzuki to claim some goodwill
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - Time for a change - but how to get a good deal? 17 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  I'd like to change my Mondeo. It's a 2005 05 Ghia X with 37k miles, FSH and factory optional 18" alloys, Sony 6cd (in dash) and xenon (HID) lights. It;'s the 2.2 diesel so it has pretty good performance and economy and low road tax. Most trade guides put it around £7k as a trade in. I took

• Motor slalom/fast manoeuvres 9 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  Forgive my rapidly fading memory which wasn't great to begin with. IIRC i would have been aged about 13/14, we were living near Tunbridge Wells in the late 60's (Dad's job came with a tied cottage so we moved around some), and i remember biking over to i think Chartwell to watch a 'motor slalom
• Volkswagen Golf IV (1998 - 2004) - 01 2.0 Emissions light & ABS light on 3 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  Hi all, My engine emissions light came on as well as the ABS light. It was plugged in and the fault codes stated that the front lambda probe was faulty and the n/s front abs sensor was faulty. Both have been replaced, however the ABS light couldn't be extinguised - possibly due to a break

  normally be checking things like HT leads, but it doesn't have any. Any suggestions or any common areas of weakness to check? By the way, once up and running, the car is running fine, pulling well, returning mid 30's mpg, and there are no warning lights on. The car is coming up on 132k and has a full
• Mrs Nsar is looking to change - suggestions please 9 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  She drives a 53 plate Freelander Td4 S with about 60k on the clock - it was a demo when we got it. A bit scuffed and worn but nothing a bit of tlc wouldn't cure. Trade in price maybe £4500? She wants to reduce her carbon footprint and fuel costs. Most journeys are either 15 mile commute or 70-80
• Main Dealers gasping? long service intervals 7 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  It`s often been said, that extended service intervals have been driven by Fleet considerations and it seems long service intervals are the last thing Main Dealers want. It seems some are now gasping like Carp in a de-oxygenated pond, waiting for the one-bite-at-the-cherry (courtesy of long life
• Audi A4 B8 (2008 - ) - Multitronic reliability 25 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  the longevity of the Multitronic auto box. I know Audi claim to have beefed it up recently (not before time) and it?s too early to tell if that has improved the reliability. It would be useful to hear the full story of this upgrade if anyone knows it.
• Toyota - Unusual tyre size problem 19 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  for a different size tyre as I want to keep the original wheels. So what range of tyre sizes can safely be fitted and does anyone know of any good places to get aftermarket wheels? 205/60/14's seem to be easy to get, would this leave the overall diameter of the wheel the same? (i.e will the speedo still

• Car Manufacturer's Poor Websites 3 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  OK, this is something I really do get a bee in my bonnet about. I've been trawling a few sites today gathering information for Mrs Bong!'s new car. What has really struck me is just how bad a lot of these sites are, cumbersome, hard to navigate, spawning new windows (whatever happened to tabs) all
• Modern diesels - is there really a problem? 26 May 2008 (Forum)
  ?'. Maybe we'd got the wrong end of the stick, but it's seeing something like that which puts me right off a s/h diesel. And all these diesels that develop problems in later life ......... how many of those are the result of an earlier mis-fueling?
• Audi A3 cabrio (2008 - ) - Showroom impressions 16 May 2008 (Forum)
  are pleasing to the eye. Downside - the price. Three models - standard, sport and S-line. Standard has a semi auto roof, which I think means you have to unclip it at the front before it opens electrically. Other two models have fully auto roofs and for me that would be a must. The spec across the range

  I was driving my wife?s 06 Zafira 2.2 design this weekend and on two occasions I nearly had an accident. Once at a roundabout where I didn?t see a Toyota Previa (I know its huge) and once where as I was turning at a junction a pedestrian crossed the road in front of me I gave him and me a bit

• Odd habits re driving/parking 19 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  away than they needed to, they'd taken a disabled bay right o/s the building that someone else might have needed. I can only presume the mentality was i've got a permit so i'm going to utilise it how strange
