• Jaguar S-Type (1999 - 2007) - possibly insane car change 20 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  no desire/ reason to change the car at the moment, I am getting very tempted by all these cheap luxo-barges. The wife has always wanted an S-type jag, and it looks like they are temptingly cheap (£10k for an 05 plate 3.0v6 from a main dealer?). We'd struggle to justify a car like that under normal circs
• Petrol cost Ultra Eco cars, trailers for Holidays 20 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  what`s the alternative for the economy minded motorist as fuel prices continue to rise? Very efficient cars based on `need` and not `want`, such as the upcoming VW UP, said to due 94MPG? You could get a family into that size of car as was done decades ago when the car was full of people
• FIAT - Fiat Dealers worst on 18 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  `s, putting cooking oil in the JTD`s, chipping until the car vibrates and clutch slips and chipping Panda`s over the rated gearbox torque. The list of ineptness, failure to check oil, taking the car to the limiter all the time as though its a computer game goes on and on. Then they complain
• Subaru Forester (1997 - 2002) - 2000 'S' Turbo belt change / tyre change 4 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  I have a Forester S Turbo registered in June 2000 which has covered just 40,000 miles - the handbook shows the timing belt should be replaced at 4 yrs/48,000 altho' I have read elsewhere 3 yrs/36,000 miles - the original belt was replaced in Nov 03 at 25,500 miles so in theory is now due
• Honda Jazz 1.4 DSI S + optional AC 3 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  . The car has full service history, 1 owner, 36k miles on the clock, 03 plate, good condition. Selling at £7k. The AC is an optional extra which was added to the base model (S). Had anyone else got this similar problem? The Honda garage reassured us that the problem will be put right when the car
• Bosch Super Plus wiper blades 31 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  I?ve just fitted Bosch Super Plus wiper blades (set 22/19S as stated in Bosch?s selection chart) to my 03/03 Focus and so far I am not impressed. Firstly, I had to cut 5mm off the inner end of both rubbers to stop them fouling one another in the parked position. (And yes, they are fitted
• Omega noise 9 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  The Omega MV6 is a little over 70k miles now and had new tyres all round in the last 5k. N/s front wheel bearing replaced (unnecessarily, as it happens) by Vx dealer at 20k-ish. Whether it coincided with the tyre change I'm really not sure, but I now have a mechanical whiney kind of noise which
• Rip off Insurance? 27 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  company straight away. However I did this before my insurance for my scrapped car was due for renewal on Oct 11 2003. What\'s the point in paying for car insurance when I don\'t even have the car? I continued using it to drive a family members. I would have had 3 years no claims up to Oct 11. My
• Who pays? 22 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Who pays in a blame culture? I ask this because I was sorry for one of our backroomers, yesterday. He admitted that he?d filled his diesel car with petrol and driven 100 miles. Now it?s misfiring. I wanted to help him and spent time and my own money phoning VW in Wolfsburg. Have a look
• New Speed Limits 21 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Just read that Autocar is launching a campaign this week to get speed limits changed - urban speed limits down, motorway speed limits up. Their take is that it\'s in towns that most road accidents causing death or injury occur and that even 30mph is too high in many situations. Traffic calming
