    Good evening! I've got a Honda FRV which is nearing the end of its warranty period. By and large it has been very good, but there are a couple of minor niggles which I would ideally like fixed before the warranty expires. The first, and most irritating, relates to the automatic wipers

  • KIA Sorento - First service 15 Sep 2012 (Forum)
    in a couple of weeks at local dealer, how will I know if they've checked everything properly? It's a very small town so hopefully they are trading on a good reputation.  Anything else I should look too, aside from what is covered in service? It's a diesel automatic with 9k

    - Anyone got any experience of driving the Volvo V70/S60/V50 with the D5 engine and a Geartronic automatic gearbox? I didn't think that diesel torque matched well with an auto box? Is the D5 worth a lot more than the alternative 2.0D lump I can get in a V50? Thanks, N.
  • best Focus engine? 4 Jul 2005 (Forum)
    In the Ford Focus, which is the best engine to have. I'm assuming you automatically ditch the 1.6, so a toss up between the 1.8 and the 2.0? In struggling to sort a car out for my wife, we had a drive in a 02 2litre today and I thought it was a bit rough and noisy when revved.
