  • BMW 5-Series E61 Touring (2004 - ) - 520d SE - 12,000m report 12 Jun 2009 (Forum)
    moves electrically as well. * USB connection: for me, the simplest but best option if your like music in your car, as you don't need an IPOD to take advantage of the I-Drive - simply load up a memory stick(s)/ MP3 player and the whole lot can be accessed, with track listings etc, through the controller
  • Choosing a second car - ideas? 10 Feb 2008 (Forum)
    is woeful compared with latest Mondeo / Mazda 6. They don?t have an MPV to tempt me from my Grandis or to compete with S-MAX, C-4, Espaces, Galaxy? they don?t have premium mid-size saloon either like Audi A4, BMW3 / Lexus IS ? nothing!!!!! what do they have? Oh.. the GT-R coming! Wow! But what a price
  • Mike Rutherfords Champions 7 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    the firm has recently had to take out to help keep itself afloat. Jaguar, Ford's deeply troubled daughter company, is also a candidate for relegation - at least until the desperately needed replacement for the S-Type appears in showrooms. And unless a cash-rich buyer can be found for Aston Martin (yet
  • Oil pump drive & turbo charger 22 Jul 2012 (Ask HJ)
    I have owned a 56 plate Audi for 10 months. Unfortunately a lady crashed into the car when stationery (on the 6th June 2012) and this resulted in car requiring...
  • New (Motability) car 15 May 2023 (Forum)
    (possible the same seats barring material are in the Bayon?). No heated seats or steering wheel on this spec (but I could pay a £299 advanced payment and get the GT-Line S with the same 120PS MHEV as the Bayon and which has the heated seats and steering wheel
  • I was stopped by police for my sat nav placement. Where should I place it? 17 Jun 2021 (Ask HJ)
    At the end of a recent journey, we were pulled over by police because — as it was explained to us — we had a sat nav on the dashboard obscuring the view...
  • Can you get a sat nav for bikes? 27 Nov 2019 (Ask HJ)
    Obviously I’m not expecting this to be a full sat nav like a Garmin or something like that, but is it possible to get a small sat nav system for a bike...

  • Towing Regulations, and Driving Licence Entitlements 11 Nov 2012 (Ask HJ)
    I passed my driving test way back in 1964 and therefore can tow a Maximum Gross Train Weight (MGTW) of up to 8250kg. However, drivers who passed their...
  • Bad overtake? 6 Oct 2010 (Forum)
    ? Well what they did was obviously dangerous driving wasn't it? Despite there being oncoming traffic they still didn't want to let me in. Were they trying to cause a head on collision? If the police officer(s) 'saw everything' then why didn't they stop them instead or at least mention it to me? Although
  • Volkswagen Golf IV (1998 - 2004) - Golf GTI 1.8T - first impressions 25 Mar 2010 (Forum)
    that included a week of some of the worst traffic I've ever seen on the M3, and a dash down to Southampton and back that was certainly not economy minded. Similar use would have had the Volvo well down into the 20's. The 1.8T engine is very impressive, being flawlessly smooth throughout the rev range
  • Seat Altea XL - first impressions 21 Jul 2007 (Forum)
    , why? Oh, and one gripe I do have, the car only comes with one remote control key, the other is just a normal key. For a car that should be £17.5k, surely you would expect 2 remote control keys? That?s what my Skoda has. Shortly will be taking it to France and back so will report back in a few weeks
  • 2004 Pontiac GTO - Motor Trend review 7 Dec 2003 (Forum)
    automatic is standard), the Vette V-8 kicks the GTO with inspiring swiftness. Even wearing its standard M+S tires, our test car scorched from [B]0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and tripped the quarter-mile lights in 13.62 seconds at 104.78 mph--numbers that would leave a 1960s-vintage GTO seeing yellow[/B
  • We need a large MPV, but do low mileage - what do you recommend? 1 Jan 2018 (Ask HJ)
    We have four children and are struggling with our Citroen C4 Grand Picasso. We need a secondhand replacement with space and a decent boot, so very few...

  • Anatomy of a ride 23 Mar 2005 (Forum)
    goodbye as each one takes his/her exit home. Road is clear so I manage 110 mph for a couple of minutes. A couple of R-1's and and a Fireblade storm past us with a wave. Cops stare but they can't catch us on their Chinese 125 cc's. GRowlette slows down and pulls alongside as we enter our sub-division

  • Peugeot? Skoda? and others - Search for a car 1 Mar 2011 (Forum)
    .  One thing came in to focus, she doesn't want an Estate Car, feeling it would be too like the Grandis and its time to move on to something else. Conclusion, the A4 would be interesting, in the right trim and engine combination, the A3 (with S-Line pack) was lovely but too small for 5 plus
