  We have a Vauxhall vectra in good condition which has done 120,000 miles. Having had the above mentioned problems, saw Hj\'s comments regarding supermarket petrol and took his advice to add an additive to the tank followed by Shell Optimax/Texaco Clean system and problem appears to have eased
• Tax Exemt Vehicles 12 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  to vehicles over 30 years old? The 20 year limit probably exempted many old bangers that were hanging on for a year or two before going to the scrapyard. However a 30 year limit would not include many such vehicles. Some of the over 30's may be tatty, but they're usually kept for interest by enthusiasts
• Peugeot 307 steering pump noise. 8 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  I took delivery of a new Peugeot 307 S in December 2003. As soon as I started it I was aware of a high pitched whine. This whine varies when the steering wheel is moved. The dealer seems to think there is nothing wrong with this, even though it sounds like a microwave oven. My passengers notice
• New Shape A3 Electrics 27 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  they asked me to park it next to the other two A3?s with the same problem which have been awaiting parts for 2 weeks or more ?The RAC guy was quite familiar with the new A3 having been called out to a few with electrical problems but in the other cases he was able to cure by resetting the system.

• Mystery car 1 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  I always thought I had a well fitting anorak when it comes to odd cars, but one has got me stumped. A friend mentioned a car he saw yesterday, and I can't think for the life of me what it might be. Small, boxy little rag top which he reckoned looked 60's but was on a '91 'H' plate (possible late
• If you have kids,look at this 17 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  This is a site your kids will love. You should use high quality paper and ink, but if you don't you can glue the shapes to card and paint over the colours. I blame BL/ Triumph for this. They did a cardboard cutout of the Triumph Acclaim in the 80's and I was hooked. Thanks for putting up with me.

  After much deliberation, I've finally managed to whittle down the wishlist of motors to two possibles...a Nissan 200SX or a BMW 328 Sport. It looks like I'll get more motor for my £££s with the 200, but I'll also lose more (probably) when I sell it as the 328 Sport seems to hold its value really
