• Jaguar XK and XKR (2006 - ) - Radio aerial 28 Sep 2007 (Forum)

  rain. It took half an hour's worth of thought and a few false starts but finally worked out how to gain access without breaking a window or cutting holes. So, anyone who wants to know how to get into a '90's Previa in less than 20 seconds just send some used tenners in a plain brown envelope

• Japanese reliability? 10 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  the service department was quoting me a replacement price of around £360, until I told him the car was still under warranty, which took the wind out of his sails (why did he not know/check this out first of all?). He then said the the part(s) could not be obtained until Friday, so I said we would leave
• Camac crossplies...any good? 18 May 2007 (Forum)
  Whilst undertaking the usual pre-season service and check on the P4 on Friday I was taken aback to find the tread separating from the casing on the front tyres. As I bought these S/H a couple of years ago from a 'friend' who was emigrating all I can do is to bite the bullet and buy some new ones

• Corsa battery and Master cylinder 2 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  ? is it REALLY that difficult to remove. Anyone got the definitive method of removal?? Similarly the brake master cylinder seems inaccessible too and it looks like the o/s wiper arm has to be removed before access can be gained to do a simple job like checking/ topping up the reservoir. Again is this the case

• peugoet 307 SW 1 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  i am about to buy a 307 sw as a sensible option to a large MPV and cannot decide whether to buy a 2litre 16 valve petrol one or whether to air on the side of caution and stick with the sensible 110BHP 2litre HDI deisel version (which is only £110 a year tax too) it s only really going to be used
