  it with a newer Yaris. Now the little 1.0 is just about OK pushing my car along, but have the newer models gained weight over
• Honda Jazz Hybrid - Honda Jazz Hybrid 15 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  My wife is in the market for a year old Jazz CVT.  We've been offered a year old Hybrid by a Honda dealer.  We hadn't considered a Hybrid but the price for this one is attractive and all Hybrids have the CVT transmisssion.    The reviews on the Hybrid are broadly favourable

  the old oil and changed the oil pump. However the same thing happened again, dipstick has blown out followed by oil. Any ideas? As car is old, any repairs over a grand won't be worth it. Thanks Michael
• Digital Cameras 16 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  I sell cars on the internet and relly on superior photographs to draw attention to my adverts, I've been using a Fuji Finepix A605 which is probably about 6 years old and it's been taking crystal clear pictures filled with vibrant colour.  Yesterday it finally packed up so I bought a Fuji

  to remove the old. This to me seems absurd and in any case hell would freeze over before I would let one of those places anywhere near my car. Any ideas? Cheers, Stuart
• New model's impact on depreciation of old one 8 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Hello Does anyone have any info. on the affect of a brand new version of a given car on values of the previous version ? Am thinking of buying an '07 Subaru Legacy Sport Tourer - however the brand new model has been announced & will be here in October. Should I wait until the new model is here
• Rover 200 and 400 (1989 - 1996) - 97 1.4 Dead cat, only a year old 5 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  . The car is used infrequently - probably only done 1000 miles since the cat was replaced. Was I just unlucky? Are kwik-fit cats poor quality? Is it likely there is something else wrong that caused the cat to fail?
• Ford Mondeo II (1996 - 2000) - 97 2.0 Loose baffle in 'back-box'? 24 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  Judging from the rattling, it sounds as though a baffle has come loose in the exhaust back-box on the old Mondy. The 8-year old original was replaced 2yrs9mths ago. The rattling can only really be noticed when the car is idling at a standstill and can't be distinguished once moving. I'm not sure
• Best £3-£4k convertible? 20 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  All this amazing weather we've been having lately has got me thinking about a reasonably priced drop top. As the g/f would use it most it will need to be able to carry much shopping, so an MX5 or similar is out. Three cars I'm considering are the old style Saab 900, the GM Saab 900/93 or the Audi
• Citroen C5 (2001 - 2008) - '06 2.0 petrol ~ Water trickle on carpet 4 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  the drivers footwell area, down by the brake pedal. I suspect the heater matrix, but as the car is only 1 year old (10k) i would find that surprising. There are no leaves blocking the drains below the windscreen and the drain holes are clear. Any ideas what its likely to be please?
• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 1994 1.9 XRD - Glow plug problem 21 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  I got some new glow plugs for my old car [to get it half decent to sell it!] - but when taking the old glow plug out, the bit of the engine which the glow plugs screw into broke off! ...I was just asking what that bit is called, I'm not sure if its the cylinder head because I've looked at some
• Nissan Primera III (1999 - 2002) - No shim on one back brake pad 12 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  Just a quick question to put my mind at ease. I bought a new set of rear pads and when fitting them found that one of the shims had rusted away and broke up when I removed the old pad. I have refitted the old pads and am going to get new shims tomorrow. A quick internet search refers
• Wrong type of ATF on my old Honda? 7 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  no significant change in the transmission's operation aside from a minor hesitation in lock-up engagement(it may be my imagination, though). What to do now? Flush the transmission? Will it harm the tranny day-by-day, without any tell-tale sign? My car is a clean, rare example and has 160000kms on it.

• How can you tell ? 22 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  My son got his imported 2nd hand Toyota Lucida yesterday. The dealer assured him they had changed the cambelt. They had shown him the old belt, (well, an old belt) but a suspicious person like me can't help wondering. The engine seems very clean, and has fresh oil, but should he have some
• 5 Doors, under 5 yrs old, less than 5k 22 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  My girlfriend is due to change her car in the next few months. She currently has a Picasso 2.0 HDi SX. She is looking for a 5 door hatch with plenty of room for her and our daughter. It needs to be reliable and reasonably cheap to run - insure, service, fill up, etc. Style is not a major factor
• Rover 416 98 R Tourer Radio Display CD 13 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  Hi, I have just purchased an R 98 tourer but the clock radio display on the dash does not function properly. I have currently replaced the old tape player with an old sony cd player for the time being but have some questions as I like my cars to remain original and with factory fitted equipment: 1

  When left overnight, or all day for example, my clutch seems to slip when the vehicle is first started and i move off.It only happens in first gear and the problem will go after say 10 gear changes or clutch depressions.If I pump the clutch a couple of times before I start the car its much better
• Citroen C8/Pug 806 any feedback? 8 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  I am at last persuaded by my 15-year-old and 7-year-old sons that my trusty 1996 Synergie should be consigned to history at 115K miles, and replaced with a C8 2.2 HDi 6-speed. Having driven one recently, I am sorely tempted. Anyone think any different? Those of you who want to slag off the car just
• Proof of NCD - Help! 29 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  as they think I'm using the NCD on another policy. Where can I go from here? The broker of the previous policy was told I was not intending to renew with them, I have made no payment to them and have no other car to insure but how do I prove this to my new InsCo and get the relevant info out of the old one
