• Jaguar S-Type (1999 - 2007) - 99 inefficient heating, any ideas? 24 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  it would appear that the heating side of things in my 1999 S Type is not what it should be. I usually drive all year round with the climate on 22 degrees and haven't noticed anything wrong...however with this really cold weather i cranked it up a couple of degrees and didn't notice any difference
• Water Cooled Turbo`s 21 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  I noticed in H.J`s road test of the Peugeot 207 GT that he mentioned >>>it has a water-cooled turbo so you don?t have to worry too much about idling before you switch off.>>> When one considers all the problems with seized turbo bearings/failures that have been noted on this forum over the years
• Stone chip removal 4 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Morning all, it´s a sad day at Castello Barchetta as the little blue roadster is about to be sold. One quick question - can I get some advice about taking out the few stone chips on the bonnet and bumper before the prospective puchaser arrives. I have the correct Fiat touch-up paint, and assume
• VW Polo 1.9D 1998(S) Rough Idle 17 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  When I first start my 1998(s) 1.9 diesel Polo the engine sounds fine, apart from the usual noise from a cold diesel engine. When the engine gets warmer and the idle speed drops, usually after about a mile or so, the whole car vibrates really badly. As soon as you hit the accelerator, the vibrating
• Jump start advice 12 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  I was a good samaritan to a friend´s flat battteried car this morning, but without success. Having connected everything up I couldn´t get the other car to turn over more than twice, and pretty weak turnovers they were too. This was after waiting 5+ minutes for a charge to get through, revving my
• Scenic Automatic. Problems? 14 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, My wife and I set out to find a second hand Scenic a few weeks ago. In a local garage we found a 1.6, 51 (Y) plate automatic for £6000. It?s done 22K and apart from a few scratches on the driver?s door, appears to be in good condition. It?s had 2 owners and is the expression model, so its got
• Honda Civic Type S v. Mercedes A-class 31 Mar 2004 (Forum)
  Still searching for my wife's next car - current;y she has a Honda Jazz - excellent but not quite enough oomph. Anyone got any experience of the Honda Civic S-type (2 litre) or the Mercedes A-class: the A140 wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding but the 160 and diesel 170 should be better
• Urgent Question - Brake Problem. 15 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  I am a non-technical person so need comments, please, on the following fairly basic question. This morning I had some work done on N/S/R brake drum. The mechanic took O/S/R wheel off as well and later told me that he had adjusted both brakes. I then did a 50 mile high speed journey before calling
• Merc S-Class:Adding a Sub-woofer 17 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  an amp and a sub (in the boot I guess). SHOULD I add anything at all? Is there a particular way of adding such electronics to an S-Class? Or should I just leave it well alone because it's far too great a risk to add anything to such a complex car and make do with the existing 14-speaker setup? Any help
• Celica dying 12 May 2003 (Forum)
  I have a 1992 Toyota Celica 2.0GT. It?s done 108,000 miles and has a good service history. I bought it in November with 104,000 miles. In the last month or so it occasionally dies on me. This can be dangerous, especially if it happens when I?m pulling out into a stream of traffic. The car
• Dodgy ECU on Peugeot 306? 6 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  My car is a peugeot 306 xl. Petrol with Cat converter. It has had an intermittent fault which has just resurfaced after a year of it being fine. It just revs itself when I don\'t have my foot on the accelerator - it\'s like I\'m reving up at lights to race off! I took it in for an engine

• Porsche - 911 GT2 - Computer versus reality. 19 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  Just watched an excellent "challenge" on C5's Gadget Show. Show presenter racing against Johnny Herbert on Silverstone - the difference being that Herbert is on the actual track and the presenter using a computer simulator (priced for the "home" market) well worth a watch on C5's website - I won't
