• Transportation of broken down car 14 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  . How best (cheapest) to recover this: 1. RAC can organise private recovery but obviously expect me to foot the bill; 2. Ring round private recovery firms for quotes; 3. Tow it myself. Option 3 is excluded for reasons of safety. The route's round the s/w corner of the M25 and along the M4. I
• Non-Receipt of NIP 22 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  I've just received s reminder from the Sussex Safety Camera Gang to say I haven't replied to an NIP sent on 6 December regarding a 36mph offence on 28 November. I have never received the NIP. I phoned the SSCG and the woman informed me that it had come to their attention that a lot of NIPs sent
• Mondeo warming up times. 9 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  the same spot and stay there with no fluctuation anytime during the year. This is worrying me somewhat as i've read in some Mondeo sites that there's a known problem with water pumps on V6's so i'm worried this could be early signs of a problem. My V6 has done 63k and my Diesel has done 130k . Anyone got
• Accord - do 17" wheels mess up its ride? 8 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  I'm looking at the Accord diesel, which comes with 16" wheels (205/55 tyres), but has the option of much better looking 17" wheels (I can't find the tyre size but presumeably they'll be wider and lower profile - maybe 215/45's?). On some cars it's strongly recommended NOT to go for lower profile
• 1992 Passat cooling system/temp gauge 13 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  . Does this mean it isnt getting round the engine since its not getting hot? I drained, flushed and refilled the system with coolant a couple of weeks ago, but didnt remove the thermostat (realised this after reading grahamf1's post this month!). Could this be causing the problem....but it rises when
• Unsafe new BMW 5 series. 13 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  deserve severe critism for allowing the car to go to mas production with so many problems that need correcting (Steering column, airbags, airbag timing, door trims, foot rest and door latches). Do you think that BMW will modify the 1000's of cars that do not meet the EuroNCAP level of safety
• Noble M400 10 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  to join a motorway when he lost it so completely that it slammed into the embankment,spun and came to rest with the rear N/S wheel broken off,fortunately no one else involved or the driver and passenger hurt,made me think either the throttle control wants rethinking or Neil Lydon needs retraining before

• Goodyear F1 VS Pirelli 6000 3 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, My Pirelli 6000's have done nearly 40K miles on my Volvo S60 D5 and they are due for replacement. I'm generally happy with the tyres but I remember reading a good report about the Goodyear F1. It would be nice to have a bit more grip, but I don't want excessively soft compounds, increased road

• dark horse cars 25 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  I'd like to find out about cars that are generaly unknown but are in fact exellent and under rated. I'll kick it off by telling you about my recent purcahse of Mitsubishi Galant S Reg 2,5 v6 ,climate control all leather and so forth. This is gem of a find for me. It wasn't expensive at £3500
• cheapest motoring I ever heard of. 7 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  It's great to see folks after a bargain but I reckon my old pal had us all beat. All his adult life he ran Citroen 2CVs (he is in his 60's now) He rarely paid more than £100 for one and got them two at a time. He then cannibalised the cars and got one decent one fron the two! He reckoned

  estate, shortly to be replaced by an Audi A4 Avant 2.5 TDI. But she needs comfortable, supportive seats. Possibilities are the SEAT Ibiza 130 TDI (maybe too hard a ride?), the Skoda Fabia vRS (if I can get her even to look at a Skoda!!) or the Honda Civic S (bigger than we need but not excessively so

• Honda Civic Type R 16 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  noise, a background presence that was always there. Curiously it didn't change with speed, or vary that much with road surface. In fact it was most noticeable in town at under 30 mph. Don't think I could live with it. Sum up: great car, great value. Cooper S with works conversion on balance a better
• 2 year old car covered 125,000 miles? 2 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  Would you buy a 2 year old car that?s covered over 125,000 miles? The car in question is a Honda Civic Type R. Apparently it has a full Honda service history. Only mod seems to be a Mugen induction kit... If I was looking at say a 7 or 8 year old car that had 125,000 miles on it I wouldn?t
