  /50 R17s on the 1.8TS2 were fine and I guess the 205/60 R16s on the S and TS would be best of the lot." That led me to wonder . . . if there was an option of 15 inch wheels, would they be better still?

  Once a routine part of any mechanics day,this old stalwart has made a recent re-appearance in my Audi 80 (1992). It`s a Mono-Motronic system I think and I`m at a loss to discover why the sudden onslaught of crown burning pinking. Should I start by cleaning the Crank Position sensor.....or would

  are budget (made in Poland) and are at the recommended 32psi front and 28 rear. The rear n/s wheel bearing has been replaced to no effect. Could it be the CVT joints? Tyres? or even the non-standard plastic wheel covers? All thoughts welcome Regards Brian

  version, only one rear passenger door and the two van-like doors at the rear? Surely the new Mini appeals to the type of buyer whao aspires to have a Cooper S or similar, not to someone who would want the practicality of two swing doors? Or will BMW produce this in limited numbers to try and make

  Our 2005 MINI Cooper S has developed a strange knocking noise. It happens when you touch the accelerator pedal or ease off in a low gear. There is just one 'knock' noise, almost as if something is rolling around in the boot (which it isn't!!). It can happen when changing from 1st to 2nd
