• Sat Nav for a bike. 27 May 2007 (Forum)
  suspect the Garmin is, consequently the Garmin isn't as user friendly as the TT in many respects including the on-screen menu, it has no internal power source so has to be used either in situ or plugged into the mains at least a TT can be used as a handheld if you need to. To me the 2610's menus are too
• Cheap car insurance 28 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  on the table would be lost, and that I may well have to pay the full amount - £60, the cancellation charge alone £55. Predictably I have accepted the offer, but I am not happy, especially as Dial Direct?s price today ? 28 February ? for exactly the same policy on the same car is £198.57 plus £12.99 for legal

• Cars easier to service, DIY declining 16 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  with it, but the aygo`s petrol engine must be similar. Both with hydraulic tappets and chain drive camshafts reducing servicing even more. OK, so the computer, management systems are there, but not part of regular servicing. So my question is, why is DIY reducing, when *regular* servicing is easier? I became
• Yamaha MT01 1670cc V-twin. 26 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  like a Browning M2 on auto. It produces an immense, for a motorcycle, 150nm torque peaking at 3750 rpm, highish in this low revving engine?s range though the torque curve is very flat so it is probably producing 90% of that at less than 2000 rpm. One result of a large engine in a bike is huge engine

• You're going to love me... 17 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  that this is more than likely unfair. So, thoughts? Next thought was....and you're going to laugh here. Mitsubishi FTO. I know! These are 2.0 V6's and I'm sure I read a while ago Aprilia praising the MIVAC engines. They're fairly small and I realise I've gone from family car to fun car but I'm just weighing up
• Legal experience sought 15 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  . He emerged and said "nothing to do with us, we haven't touched your gearbox, it 's your bad luck" I spoke to regional manager who said they wouldn't accept responsiblity and so I explained I was taking it to a auto-box specialist. Problem was identified as a multi-function switch and transmisison ECU
• Thoughts on replacing Polo 22 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  of these? Then there's the Civic Type R, or the poor man's S version, both of which I know are great cars. Anyone got anything bad to say about them? I like the new golf and the look of the new Polo, but don't want to pay VW prices when I could get virtually the same car from Seat, so VWs are out. I like the safety

• Car Accessory Shop Hell 27 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  , so whilst I was in the accessory shop I picked up a packet of Valeting cloths. They say that they are lint free and that\'s about it. No directions for use, or comments about suitability for different areas of the car. However, as I\'ve always been fairly happy with their own brand
• What to buy????????? 3 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  , Zetec S and Ghia X trim (can't resist 6disc CD and big wheels) good value for money at super sites and such. Read loads of reviews on the Mondeo, and found wind noise and refinement not as good as others in class. (Autocar, What Car?) Citroen C5 estate SXi with 2.2 HDi engine. Good refinement
• Another Gatso letter in the newspaper. 24 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  of up to 18%. Why were we not told of that? The study?s claim that, ?Gatsos save lives? have been dismissed as ?naughty? by statisticians from Cardiff University.

• Positioning - Nigel Albright 23 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  and the basic rules of acceleration and braking are also ?in a straight line?. So it certainly makes sense to look for situations where the vehicle can be kept in, or close to, it?s most stable configuration for as much of the time as possible. There are also less stresses on the suspension, less wear on tyres
