Volvo V50. 05 plate - Anti skid message brake failure, immobilser activa 30 Oct 2015 (Forum)
The day before yesterday my car failed its mot and had the following work done. Rear brakes cleaned and adjusted, n/s/f coil spring supplied and fitted. Rear number plate bulb Do you think the two are related or is it just a coincidence that this has happened now? I did drive my car this afternoon back to the the garage, they hooked it up to diagnostic machine and said there were lots of communication fault codes which they have reset. -
Jaguar XE - Extended test drive - Petrol 2L (240PS) 27 Aug 2015 (Forum)
I'm half way through a 24 hour test drive of a Jaguar XE S - the 2L petrol 240PS version. So far so good. I'm generally impressed with the quality of the materials used in the cabin and the way it performs on the road. The engine (currently a Ford sourced unit until Jag's own petrol version comes out - 2016 maybe?) -

BMW 528 - Does 3rd party insurance have the legal right - 12 Sep 2013 (Forum)
When the assesor sent by the 3rd parties insurers looked at the car, I expressed that I did not want the car written off. He commented on the good condition of the car and how it didn't look it s age nor show the miles it has covered. This due to me being so particular that everything is kept in top condition both cosmetically and mechanically. The 3rd party insururs have phoned me, they are telling me its a Cat C write off, I nearly fell of my chair, they then offered me £800 - then I did fall off the chair! -

Mazda MX-5 Mk1 1997 - Heated rear window wiring 10 Oct 2011 (Forum)
I guess it would become obvious which goes where if I were to buy Mazda items but I'd like to save a few quid and use Halfords ones if poss but, because I'm not sure which connector(s) to use, I don't know which relay / fuse block to go for, i.e. 4-pin, 5-pin, etc. I'm also wondering what rating of cable I'll need for the job. There's an existing female connector just behind the passenger seatbelt post, then there are 2 'spare' connectors by the battery in the boot; one white/opaque with wiring of 1-2 mm thickness attached and a black one with approx 4 mm thick wiring, presumably carrying a heavier current. -

small 6-7 seat MPV - Best used small MPV (£5k - £10k) 4 Aug 2010 (Forum)
I'd do that again except for the lack of space for all the car seats plus another passenger, so maybe the FRV is the answer (wouldn't even have to be a diesel as the petrol is quite efficient). Ford S-Max looks great, but I'm worried by the reliability - lots of problems reported, which is a shame as Ford reliability has been pretty good in the last 10 years. Advice appreciated. Thanks, Optimus -
Volkswagen Jetta 1.4 TSI 122 SE - arnold clark/Motorpoint 24 Mar 2010 (Forum)
The alloys are not what you would expect on an Se spec car, they are the 16" Toronto wheels from the S model, not the atlanta wheels the Se should have. The interior is even more confusing, it has an "aSR-Off" button rather than "eSP-Off" like you would get on a UK model, and although it has all the Se refinements like the comfort seats, armrest, chrome window surrounds and RcD310, its missing the leather steering wheel. -
Land Rover Freelander 2 (2006 - ) - Cold Start / Glowplugs 9 Jan 2010 (Forum)
To other users who have this 2.2 engine in other vehicles (Peugeot 4007 and 407, Citroen C-Crosser and various C5s and C6s, Mitsubishi Outlander 2.2, Ford S-Max and Mondeo etc.), which may have more conventional ignition keys, do the glowplugs on your car activate in cold temperatures and does the engine start OK if you ignore the glowplug warning light?
