• Mini Cooper S convertible - Part exchange - trading down 28 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  Hello there everyone...  :) I'm going to be selling my Mini Cooper S convertible soon, to be replaced with a Fiat 500, mostly because the day-to-day running costs of the Mini are proving to be a lot. I'm not keen on selling my car privately, although I know I would probably
• Mercedes Benz S-Class W220 (1999 - 2005) - 01 320 Light adjustment for French registration 29 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  I now live in France and need to re-register my RHD S class and have it comply to French specification. There is no information to show that the existing lights can be adjusted so I have been quoted £540 for new lights or £106 for new lenses but MB Technical Department, UK, will not commit
• Have people?s opinions on ex-rentals changed? 29 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  Hi there, I had a quick search on this board and saw the last post on this topic was in 2001 so I thought I?d ask if anything has changed since then; what are people?s opinions on buying 6 month to year old ex-rental cars? The only reason I ask is because a friend and I are looking into trading
• Parking S/hampton Docks 21 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  Dear All, I am going on a short trip on a P&O liner from S/hampton in September and thought, despite some advice to the contrary, to leave the car at the docks, F.O.C. I presume that one leaves the keys. Do cars get moved around by the staff? That in itself does not unduly bother me

  I have an automatic BMW 318i S coupe that judders when moving off, tricky if i need to move quickly at junctions/roundabouts. It only happens when it tries to find 1st/2nd but has no probs changing gear at higher speeds. It does occasionally slip out of gear, mostly on longer journeys or slow

• Jaguar S Type Key Recoding 2 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  I recently bought an S Type - and I'm very happy. One of the keys had a flat battery, so I replaced it according to the instructions in the handbook, making sure I only spent a few seconds. The previous battery must have been flat as a pancake, as it now has no coding. Is this one of the keys
• Fair Price? Touran 05 1.9Diesel S 25 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Hi there, I'm currently leasing an 05 Touran S 1.9 Diesel (7 seater) and I have an option to buy it very shortly. The car has done 15000 miles. The price they have offered me is just over £11,000. Does this sound reasonable? I am told that the figure is about "book price", but I do not know
• fiesta zetec s overheating 18 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  I've been trying to fix a friends fiesta 1.6 zetec s (the one with all the skirts and alloys etc). It is overheating after about 25 miles and the fan comes on when the car is travelling along. I am thinking that it is the thermostat, is there anything else it could be? I took it out for a short
• Hyundia Coupe S. Yes or No? 11 Apr 2003 (Forum)

Which is not quick but fantastic
• XUD engine - bottom pulley bent 8 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  I am told mine is bent! You can see the alternator belt wobbling as the pulley turns so it\'s certainly mis-shapen and I had thought the garage hadn\'t perhaps put it back properly when they were doing the timing belt recently. But they say it\'s actually bent. Any ideas how this happens

• Vauxhall Corsa - Vauxhall 3 Jan 2017 (Forum)
  I am looking at 2015 Corsas. I believe that was the year a new model was introduced. My local dealer has the older model with a high spec. and the newer car which is a more basic model. I do about 15000 miles per year and hope to change in 3 or 4 years. I think with this trade in value in mind I

• Petrol pricing simple-Energy pricing daft 16 May 2018 (Forum)
    Like millions of others, I try and get the best value when buying petrol- using supermarkets most of the time and maybe graduating to a local BP. A max choice of around 3 or 4 with the cheapest £litre being my objective!-easy! BUT BUT-Why is it that energy providers
• Vauxhall Astra J 1.6i - Limp Home Mode After TPMS Warning 11 Apr 2018 (Forum)
  Had a call from a friend this morning his (new to him) Astra had gone in to limp mode 24mph max, after receiving a tyre pressure warning. After re-inflating the offending tyre both the warning lights went out and the cars performance was back to normal. For peace of mind I did a scan and didn’t
