• Vauxhall Corsa - Changing car 7 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  to a 1.2 SXi which are plentiful but without air con and a couple of 1.4's with aircon. Both choices are very low mileage. My wife averages about 200 miles per week mostly on a fast dual carriageway. My last experience of Vauxhall was a Viva HB so any upto date opinions re Corsa would be more

• Honda Accord Coupe 3l 1999 - Front/slam panel replacement 3 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  Immaculate- leather etc. Hit a bell bollard, insurance write off. We intend to fix it. Front/slam panel badly crushed at bottom. Is this hard or expensive replace? Any tips, or a guess at the price? Bumper, rad, air-con condense also need replacement, but they seem straightforward. I have found
• Toyota Corolla - Low Idle Speed 4 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  and when the air-con is switched on. I took it back to the dealership and they plugged it into the diagnostics computer and they said everything is O.K. and that Corollas tend to run with a low idle. Seemed strange to mention this afterwards or is that me being cynical. I'm very happy with the Corolla

  [cynic mode] are a con. The trigger type ones spray a solution on to the screen that melts the ice.  so far so good.  If you're not quick enough the solvent/alcohol evaporates leaving you with a film of water on the screen that promptly freezes over.  Usually after

• Pug 306 engine removal 9 May 2007 (Forum)
  I have a 1995 306 turbo diesel (no air con) that needs the cambelt renewing and all the advice is that it is a bit of a fiddly job requiring engine mounts being removed etc. Ideally I would like to renew the water pump at the same time but that would probably make the job even more difficult so I

• What constitutes an insurance mod 23 Jun 2005 (Forum)

• what to buy with £11,000 11 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  is to go from A to B (36 miles a day) 95 % of the time. Citroen seems cheap and cheerful but reliability an issue as it seems.
