    cycle and then it automatically locks the doors. It's under warranty for 3 months so want to take it back to them and explain the problem, but don't want to be fobbed off due to not knowing about cars, and was hoping someone would know what the problem is likely to be before I take it back
  • Mazda CX-5 - Mazda CX5 Spare Wheel 14 Apr 2018 (Forum)
    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.
  • Turbo petrol/Naturally aspirated, Torque Conv/CVT 7 Feb 2018 (Forum)
    such as DSG, Powershift, EDC. I don't want to discount turbo petrols, as there are not many n/a cars available anymore (new cars) and there is no budget - I just want your choices...... So what petrol / automatic cars would you recommend???? (Large Hatchbacks, Estates, Small SUV / Crossover)

    are not activating the automatic seat settings for self and wife despite setting the key-cards memory settings separately in the hole and pressing the memory button on the seat and hearing the confirmation tinkle.

  • Rover Mini - Import minis and poor old Rover dwindling.. 27 Sep 2016 (Forum)
    Was having a nostalgic (and concerned) window shop through the Rover section on auto trader. The numbers really are dwindling.. Anyhow I came across a Jap spec Rover mini. Its a grey import, and they've somehow fitted aircon into it as well as being automatic. Anyone else a bit impressed
  • 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
  • Tyre repair sealant 3 Jan 2016 (Forum)
    I know there have been threads on this but am interested if there have been any improvements or new experiences. Many appealing newer cars now have tyre repair kits.  If I had a puncture I would automatically replace the tyre ( I have known for a long time I'm neurotic ) so
  • BMW 320i - Used BMW 320i. What to watch out for? 10 Oct 2015 (Forum)
    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

    Hi all,  when I started the car the other day, the driver's side (dipped) headlight came on, then after about 2 seconds, the passenger side came on. I tend to leave the lights on automatic setting mostly. Driving along, I noticed that the passenger side light went off, then came back
  • VW Mk 7 Golf TDI 2.0 SE dsg. - Very Disappointed 1 Aug 2013 (Forum)
    Am I the only person disappointed with their new Golfs economy and performance? I only seem to get 350/400 miles per full tank but my old Mk5 GTD dsg did 600/650 per tank. It also seems to labour in high gears when it should automatically change down. Have spoken to them at VW UK
