• Mazda Mazda 6 (2002 - 2007) - oil overfill 3 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  Bought a Mazda 6 about 2.5 weeks ago. Did regular checks the other day and noticed oil overfill. I'd say it is quite significant. It goes above max to nearly the same distance as from min to max marks on the dipstick (so I think it is about 0.7 litres). This however wasn't checked on a completely
• 306 diesel won't rev past 3100rpm... 18 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  reason the engine won't go past 3100rpm. It flies up to this point, really does. I've adjusted the max fuelling and it has given it a bit more go but it still won't rev past 3100rpm. It feels like I'm hitting some sort of limiter. If I give it max throttle it'll jump when it hits 3000rpm, but if I give

• Which car companies will be left in 10 years time? 20 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  (with Nissan); VAG; KIA/Hyundai; Ford (& Volvo?); Toyota (& Subaru?) and Beijing automotive (who I think will be selling us cheap Roewe 75's and the Saab technologies they have just picked up). I wonder where Opel or its offspring might be? Can BMW continue to be independent? Will Honda stay on its own

• Could we run Jaguar 22 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  ), and have got the quality / customer bit right as well - according JD Power. It struck me that if they fixed the design on some cars (X type in particular - next S type looks good according to current spy shots) then these things should have no problem selling.

  Back in the 1970's when my parents bought their first estate car, you could get a "dogmaster divider" which split the load area lengthways - half for your pet, half for luggage. They didn't get one however- just a full-width dog guard. I am now trying to find a "split" guard for my Ford Galaxy
• Mondeo 1.8TD G/Box oil change? 5 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  , and requires care to avoid graunching noises, especially under hard acceleration. There is a good level of oil but I am wondering if, as its probably been in there for 10 years/124,000 miles, it has less lubricating effect. Ford say you should never need to change it, so is it something more (mechanically
