  • Farewell chug a chug Diesels - you served us well. 13 Aug 2009 (Forum)
    themselves at the beginning - fitting skinny little cambelts into the diesels newly fitted to their little rust from new small cars It`s all gone. Forever.

  • I Have a Question - Volume 298 [Read Only] 11 Jul 2009 (Forum)
    case - it`s `only` £10 and fortunately not the Sat Nav itself. IF it doesn`t arrive on the latest specified date what would you do next. In particular with reference to Amazon `claims` it seems you are limited to five lifetime claims from them. Given that I`m making much bigger purchases from them

    . It seems almost all the local cars go through here - at the point in the pic the Punto has had it`s soapy pressure spray and is waiting for the Gentlemen in the picture (washing the car in front) to hand wash it - then around the bend are a team of three - two men and a woman, who leathered it off

  • Sweet justice 21 Nov 2005 (Forum)
    of the Avensis forward of the firewall and the Merc was in a similar condition but I was most surprised by the truck which had been completely devastated at the front, it?s wheels were pushed right back and it was leaning into a ditch. Clearly, nobody had walked away from that one and won?t be walking for many
  • Golf Lost Steering Servo 24 Oct 2004 (Forum)
    I returned to my car, MkIII Golf, on Friday and noticed the O/S/F wheel was in a puddle but assumed it was water.

    at auction? 99T perhaps? I've seen S reg ones on Autotrader for as little as £3k. I'm told Peugeots figures are unreliable. Where can I find accurate, indepedant performance figures for the 406 range? Is it worth considering or should I just go back to the predictable but safe idea of a 1.9TD Xantia SX
  • Just done CBT! 18 May 2003 (Forum)
    . I had my CBT booked for today, as the weather had improved sufficiently (well, it was last week!). Of course, s**'s law dictates that it had to throw it down today, but that didn't spoil the fun. Despite the fact that it threw it down, and that I was wobbly as a weeble at low speeds, nothing could
