  Hi, I've just bought a new CX-5 2.2 SE-L Nav Diesel Automatic, with delivery due mid September. However I have just found out (my fault, I should have looked into every detail!) that no spare wheel is provided! Now i've never had a puncture in 10 years of driving, however I still
• Nissan Qashqai - Which cars have Active DPF regeneration? 20 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  Hi all, I currently have a Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dci and looking to get another diesel in the next few months. Preferably diesel and automatic. I like the fact that my current Qashqai has active DPF so it allows me to do short journeys as well as long ones. I like the Nissan Xtrail as it would
• Peugeot 107 2005-2014 - Switching off ABS in snow 14 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  to switch it off?  If it is possible, I have in mind a simple switch/relay setup that will automatically switch ABS back on next time the car is started. I occasionally drive on completely snow covered roads just for the fun of it, but with ABS it isn't as much fun because I have somewhat less control.

• Lamborghini thread deleted 12 May 2016 (Forum)
  Just to apologise to all of you who rightly criticised an OP who failed to read the sticky thread and named and shamed a dealer.  You'll all have got an automatic E-mail - sorry for that. I simply don't have the time to go through all the posts and delete the dealer's name

  Hi guys,   This is my first time buying a used car. I saw this pretty good example of a 1991 (J Reg) BMW 320i Sport Automatic. It has 12 months MOT and a full service history. The price seems good, and I'm going to test drive it at the weekend
• Hyundai i10 - Goodbye VW hello Hyundai 22 Aug 2015 (Forum)
  After lots of Vw's one after the other I wanted a small automatic to replace my manual Polo. I gave up on VW autos when DSG came in. Also in the last few years the dealerships have gone downhill [ apart from mega chrome and glass showrooms of course] I have now ordered a Hyundai i10

• Any - Long Term Investment 9 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  Is there a modern day equivalent of the W124 or at least a car with the same reputation. I am looking to purchase an estate car that would not necessarily do high mileage - 8K to 10K a year so petrol would be the order of the day. I am an old f*** so an automatic would be useful and I

• Mazda MX5 2003 - Correct Coolant Fluid 24 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  HJ's car review states that the MX5 (2005-) needs a special coolant fluid. My 2003 Miata is an 1.8L automatic and I'm assuming that the same rule applies. I have, without luck, tried to find out what is the specification of this special fluid. Apart from Google I also bought a copy
