• W123 CE - what to look for? 27 May 2007 (Forum)
  I'm selling my camper - too slow, I've decided, and not much use outside the summer months. I'm buying a classic caravan, a 1969 Eriba, from Holland, and I'd like a suitable car to tow it. I realise that the 123 is a bit later, but I do like the look of them. Like most things, it seems there's
• '03 Mercedes E320 CDI Trans oil cooler 3 May 2007 (Forum)
  I tow a large caravan with this car and want to fit an auxilliary oil cooler to the transmission. The people at Kenlowe have been helpful but we need to know which gearbox is in the car, ZF or Borg Warner, also which hydraulic circuit is the existing oil-to-water cooler in, the high supply side

• Tipping 10 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Last night I had cause to call out the RAC man to recover a car (the new Fiesta seems to have burnt it's clutch out...) He turned up reasonably promptly (40 mins), was helpful, towed the car about 2.5 miles and is getting good feedback on the custoner care card he gave us. Should I have tipped

• Camper Vans 19 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  A colleague of mine is a mad keen cyclist and wants to watch the Tour de France at first hand. To do so you need to camp on the mountain halfway through a stage, so he wants a camper (doesnt fancy towing his caravan up the mountain). He has looked into renting a camper, but has been quoted £900
• good garage list 10 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  My other half's 318Ci (E46, 2000V) broke down yesterday, and rather than go straight to the Dealer, I thought I'd try some of the recommended garages on the site for it to be towed to. For all three of those that I tried (PDQ in Bexleyheath & Chislehurst, Steve King Sidcup), the number proved
• Wheel clamping 20 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  I just caught the tail end of an item on wheel clamping on BBCs Watchdog. It centred on a clamping operator who was towing away legally parked cars and (seemingly) getting away with demanding a £200 fee to release the car. Can anyone explain why such operators are allowed to operate outside
• Selby Rail Crash 14 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  I have just read the article in the DT about sleeping at the wheel, and was particularly interested in the photo showing the Selby crash. I had always believed that Mr Hart had been driving a car, towing a Landy on a trailer, but the photo would indicate he was driving the Landy. Does anyone know

  every time, replaced ECU and ignition relay, fuel pump working fine. Anyone have any ideas?, will not go on a bump start or whilst being towed either. :(
• wheel clamps 4 May 2002 (Forum)
  an hour until payment is made and the thing can get removed thus causing more obstruction than the illegal parking would most likely have ever caused. I can't see the point at all - just ticket the car or tow it away.
• The dreaded 1.1 Fiesta 19 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  Our 1995N 1.1 Fiesta (73,000 miles) has developed a habit of starting OK, running for 2-300 yards, stopping, then refusing to start. This tends to happen when slowing down to negotiate a junction. There's plenty of life in the battery, but it won't fire. If you then tow it, it will start and run
• AA repairs 28 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  My sister had an overheating problem with her car. She called the AA out and they got her going again. She assumed that the repair would last long enough to get her home, but within a few miles the engine began making odd noises. The car had to be towed to a local garage. The garage say that severe
