• Continental ContiMobility Compressor - good! 2 May 2016 (Forum)
  the first tyre, the plastic piston seems to overheat and sieze. Anyway, I had a brain wave - the wife's C-max had one of those useless puncture repair kits which I replaced in favour of a space saver. I found the kit in the garage and the compressor which came with it - a Continental ContiMobility
• Hyundai i10 1.2 Premium (2 months in... 27 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  (accurate) fuel economy as I've never been that obsessed about that aspect. I'm clearly not doing journeys long enough to get any real idea. Max journey mileage in any one direction so far has only been 28. It really is a pleasure to drive, so much so that I only now ever use the A3 at weekends or if I'm
• Which car to go for? 8 Jul 2015 (Forum)
  to inform your advice. - budget: £18-21k - prefer small SUV/crossover type - got used to luxury and high seating of XC90 (but not fuel efficiency!) - automatic - prefer petrol but open to diesel - 6-8k miles per year - main qualities: comfort, safety, style - max age for used: two years We have so far

• Fist panda 2007 petrol dynamic - Too much oil engine damage 13 Jan 2015 (Forum)
  I'm not the first I know but I put too much oil in my car last week, about 1.5 cm above the max mark. I asked a mechanic friend who said no problem so I drove it 100 miles home. However now having read up a little I'm concerned I may have ruined it. It drove home fine. I spent most of the next day
• Luton meet and greet valet parking crashed my car 11 Sep 2014 (Forum)
  , it matched completely to the report of the accident contact between the cars. Luton meet and greet haven't apologised at all and have been rude and unhelpful. They've drawn my attention to their (very long list) of t's &c's which state that they will only pay £100 max towards any accidents that they cause
• Honda Jazz/Civic / Nissan Note - Need a car, but 2nd market scares me. 31 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  Hi, I'm looking for a cheap - max. £3000 small family car after our Nissan Almera Tino got wrecked. I want a smaller car now. I'm quite keen on a Honda Jazz / Civic or a Nissan Note, but not knowing much about cars I find the whole 2nd hand market a minefield to be honest
• Renault Megane (1996 - 1998) - 1998 Scenic 1.9DTi F9Q, where is pre-heat relay ? 14 May 2013 (Forum)
  I have a 1998 Megane Scenic 1.9dti and a while ago, on the way to work, the temp gauge went crazy and stuck on max. Checked it over before going into work for the day and it all seemed fine, thought it must have been a dodgy gauge/sender. That evening, totally flat battery. RAC man came

  Picked a brand new Fabia 2 - 1.2L 70bhp on Wednesday - 9 miles on the clock. During handover, usual questions - "Have fluids been checked?" - Yes sir, definitely. So accept the car - drive home 40 miles - stick to own running in rules (under 55mph - 3000 rpm max) - everthing fine. Sat morning, now

• Recommend me a cheap convertible... 7 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  !). The trouble with convertibles is that they can often be very uncool, especially driven by a bloke. Much as I would like a Merc Pagoda SL, cheap and cheerful is the order of the day. So, I fancy getting another cheap soft-top, up to a max of four thousand pounds, perhaps cheaper. I've tried a few contenders
• Honda Civic UK (1995 - 2000) - 99 1.4 Bolt to access the cambelt can't be undone 20 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  75,000 miles when I first got it and I have done another 1000 totaling to 76,000miles (recommended change is 72,000 miles max) and I can't seem to find out whether the Cam belt has been changed by the previous owner. Can I assume that since the bolt is so tightly screwed- that it must have been opened
• Main Dealer first service experience 5 May 2007 (Forum)
  My C-Max went in for its first service yesterday, at the main dealer where I originally bought the car. A nice aspect of the service was the fact they collected the car and dropped it off for me, which saved loads of hassle, but considering it's basically a glorified oil and filter change
• Replacement car for my dad 9 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  to replace the car as we spent more than £500 on the car last year. However we would have a strict budget as I will have to pay for the car as a gift, I am thinking £600-£700 max. So what medium sized car could you get for that? I am thinking a newer Escort like a W reg or maybe a bland japmobile. Idealy we
• Help needed.....bought a write off!! 20 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  that their records indicate this car was a write off indeed. I am in the process of pursing compensation (only a miserly £2000 max). What I am curious to know is: 1. Could a number change have masked the car's history? 2. It there a situation where a vehicle's accident history could be held back or put on record
• Subaru, Seat or Skoda ? 24 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  is now sold, and the VW will most likely be having a mid life transformation into a camper! I have a max of £8k to spend...buying privately or via the auctions, and want reliability, a blend of handling & performance, all in a hatch or estate body. I would equally be happy to spend £1k on a decent

• Golf Mk III GTi 16v Cam Belt Failure 15 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  dealer to see what their estimate would be - they said a max of 8 hrs labour (@ 50 ph) plus £200 for parts - total of £600. However, another VW dealer has quoted anywhere from £800 to £1500 depending on the severity of the damage! I'm likely to take the £600 quote, but a little worried as to why
