  • Flat Rate 29 Mar 2003 (Forum)
    Watching BBC2's Wrong Car, Right Car Dominic is often seen hammering his calculator in order to calculate the amount in monthly repayments the punter will have to pay based on the dealer's quoted interest rate. Plus they always talk about the 'flat rate' of interest. Can someone explain to me
  • Unlawful killing... 28 Mar 2003 (Forum)
    Unfortunately Dave had to remove that thread last night. Despite my warnings and despite Dave\'s deletions the night before, various people still felt it was really cool and fun to get all abusive and insulting, clearly being incapable of reasoned debate. We have better things to do with our time
  • Convertible Roof Repairs 11 Mar 2003 (Forum)
    I own a 1972 Peugeot 504 convertible, with a torn roof. It\'s about 5 inches long, (the tear not the roof), just above the drivers door. I can\'t imagine what a new convertible roof costs, I do know I couldn\'t afford it. Does anyone know a good way to repair these?, other than sticking a patch

    & present danger for the sake of saving 0.5 seconds on their journey. Funnily enough, and with apologies to John S and pugugly, most of the really bad overseas examples were in BMWs, but we've been there before. So: This house proposes the motion that on average the worst drivers in Europe

  • 306 Driveshafts 26 Sep 2002 (Forum)
    Hi Everyone, After replacing the front shock absorbers on my 306 DTurbo (XUD9T), I have noticed that the driveshafts have some movement in them. Even with the weight of the car on them, I seem to be able to move the shaft in and out by a few mm. (Lefthand N/S shaft). Is this normal, or could I

  • Moving to Spain 23 Apr 2002 (Forum)
    We are seriously considering retiring to Spain. I have a V-reg Focus tdi Zetec (rhd of course), with 34k, high spec (side bags, ABS, aircon, metallic etc). I paid £12k, from Belgium & have lavished much TLC (& £'s) on it. I love it, apart from its excessive thirst (for an oil-burner). I'd

    Does anyone know whether old style Rover 200's (1990-95 models) are prone to wear on the teeth of their flywheels as my 92,000 mile 214 is grinding its starter on start up (as though I'd try to start it while the engine is running) The fault is inetermittent but getting worse. I have looked
  • Brakes on a Passat 10 Mar 2001 (Forum)
    I bought a 2nd hand Passat in November (20,000 miles, S reg). I got it from a VW dealer and thus have a year's warranty. Since I bought it the front nearside brake has been making a terrible grinding noise. Sounds like metal on metal. Despite the dealer changing the discs twice and the pads three
