• 4X4 Braking Distances 5 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  TDV6 HSE on dual purpose tyres did 70-0mph in 51.2m with a kerbweight of 2718kg. Rather puts paid to one of the anti-brigades main arguments that 4X4's have longer stopping distances! As a Range Rover driver I may be a little biased, but it has to be good for all motorists to have some factual

• 306 1.4 XR 1996 Really Poor Handbrake 25 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  306 1.4 XR 1996 Really Poor Handbrake I have just replace both H.Brake cables on the wife?s 306. However, even with FULL adjustment on the handbrake lever it still wont hold very well? After replacing the cables I replaced the drum and gave the pedal a good few pumps to set the adjusters
• Car Finance Laws 23 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  the signer to be present. Fair enough. I arranged to collect the car next Saturday anyway as its the exact spec I wanted. I asked for them to fax me a copy of the agreement so I could read the terms and check all the details before making a 200 mile trip to sign and collect. I was told it?s illegal

• Daimler Double Six. Any good? 8 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Probably a sucker for punishment, but I really fancy a Daimler Double Six. The Series 3 Jag version and in addition to the overpriced S****ra of course. Has anyone any experience of running or working on these? Prices go from £300 to £15000 for a brilliant one, so the margin for getting

• Letter from Telford 19 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  the historical grandeur. It\'s just a mass of retail parks surrounded by dual carriageways, set out like huge roundabouts. Utterly lacking in any redeeming features. Travelling is taking between 3:30 and 4:45 at present. Roll on the winter and the inevitable 6:00plus home trip. If I think of anything

• Good designs spoiled! 26 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  - offset number plate looks like a trade plate. Citroen C2 - design spoiled by silly side window styling. Early 90's BMW 3 series - (when BMW still made good looking cars!)- oddly sculpted sill panel looked like it has been dented by driving over a high kerb! Cheers, Sofa Spud

  bolder-crawling beauty! Well that\'s what the website says - although to me the pictures on the website look more like a Land Rover than a Range Rover. http://www.i2itelevision.com/4x4 All 4x4 haters are banned from posting in this thread, as well as also being banned from watching the show.

• Fabia petrol - Groaning! 24 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  today. Needless to say, animal well behaved and refused to perform. Feel a really wally. Any ideas what it can be? Sounds like some pump is pressurising upon turning on the ignition circuit before starting engine. Noise seems to be coming from n/s engine bay. Should I worry? Advice most welcome

  the floor and the co driver\'s seat and hit him in \"****\" (Gronholms words not mine! Apparantly its Finish for bottom\") Fortunatly his posterior only sustained bruising but it could have been extremely nasty if you know what I mean. The initial inference was that the metal had been put

• Vectra rear suspension. Differing info. 22 May 2004 (Forum)
  I\'ve read on here that the rear suspension on the Vectra (mine\'s a year 2000 - X reg) is adjustable. My nearside tyre on the rear wore on the outer edge, suggesting either the tracking is toeing out or the camber angle is incorrect. Anyway, I\'ve had new tyres fitted to the front
• 106 rear brakes 21 May 2004 (Forum)
  Had anyone come across the rear wheel locking up on a 1994 106 XT petrol. ( not both wheels, just the passenger side rear wheel). Some issue with the brake cable or shoes...I am wondering if the shoe(s) is worn out and is out of place or something or that the insides could just need lubricating

  I have been offered a pug 1.9 205 gti thay is a non cat version, that the current owner uses with high octane petrol. From various pug websites it seems that only the later 1.9's fitted with catalytic converters will run on 95 ron unleaded petrol (and have a lower BHP), where the one'a prior
