  There is a report in today`s Autocar, that one of China`s leading manufacturers Chery is planning to launch a range of quality vehicles, priced at 30% below their Western equivalents, into the European market from 2008. If the price was`nt enough concern for European manufacturers, they are also

• Peugeot 306 - Comfort? 4 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Just been looking at 306's ('93 - '01 model). There's SEATS's about at the moment, and I quite like the 306's. So, what are they like? I'm just over 6ft, and I've heard the driving position is a bit dodgy and the pedals are at funny position...can anyone advise? Actually, if anyone has any
• Diesel pinking - Land Cruiser 4.2TD 24 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  I\'ve got a Land Cruiser with a 4.2TD (direct injection). When you toe it, it sounds like it\'s pinking, and as soon as you back off, it stops. They\'ve had big end problems with these, but I replaced all the shells last year. It\'s possible one of these has gone bad or spun, but before I drop
• Citroen AX steering 7 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  I?ve just taken over a 1996 Citroen AX (petrol) owned by my mother for the last 4 years. The car is OK but the steering is incredibly heavy. So far all I?ve done is to check the tyre preasures and note that there?s no uneven wear. Do these small light cars without power steering have heavy steering
• Lorry wheels in the air 8 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  Driving round the M25 today, Mrs S asked me why lorries carry their spare wheels up in the air instead of somewhere else. Y'know, on a dual axle (sometimes on the tractor unit, sometimes at the back of the lorry), a wheel is about a foot off the ground and not in use. I patiently started
• The Bear Trap 11 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  Having read Fernblatt`s very interesting website "The Oil Bible", I was wondering if any of the B.R`s have used the re-usable magnetic collar called "The Bear Trap", that is fitted to the outside of the standard through-flow engine oil filter, to remove fine metallic particles. I would also like
• Citroen C5 rear axle problems 15 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  My 2 year old C5 1.9 HDI Hatchback has uneven wear on the rear tyres. they are ok on the outside but down to 1.6 mm on the inside. My franchise garage says that this is caused by deformed rear axle(s) and is a known problem, they have asked Citroen to approve replacement of the axle(s) under
• Land Rover Discovery - Your opinion 7 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  Just seen an ad for a Discovery V8, 3-door, 1990, 5-speed, 110K. I\'ve read they can be a bag of nails & nothing but problems. If it\'s got this far, it can\'t be that bad. It also has a gas conversion. Any coments, experiences (good or bad!)would be welcome. I\'ve also read HJ\'s breakdown. All
• Fun Driving 26 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  OK, I\'m as guilty as the rest when it comes to whingeing about the state of the roads, speed cameras, traffic calming (ha!), etc, etc, etc & there\'s no water in the taps, no water in the pool & only a pink fluffy diced lizard in the bidet! But there\'s still loads of fun to be had out
• Low Mileage Cars 29 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Why is it that we in the UK seem to sell our cars with so low miles on the clock - unless they are all provided via the company\'s financial write off. Most cars today are good for 120- 150k providing servicing has been done and diesel lumps do not normally free up until 40k plus - my Rover unit
• Peugeot rear suspension 23 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  Hi All I?ve recently noticed that my 306 xsi's rear suspension is not level. The Drivers side is about an inch lower than the n/s. It's constantly like this, but the car feels fine when pushing down on each corner ( falls and rises smoothly ) It?s a '94 with 97000 on clock. I've read that it might
• Sharan brakes 4 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  My 1998 Sharan has an annoying hissing noise coming from the brake pedal for the last couple of years. It?s present most of the time but not all the time. A slight depression of the pedal stops the hissing. Braking is not affected and the car has just passed it?s MOT. The noise comes from very

• Shock Absorbers 29 Nov 2001 (Forum)

• Cold Mornings 25 Sep 2001 (Forum)
  It seems to have been a bit quiet recently, so here?s something that everyone can comment on: At this time of year I start to miss the heated seats of the various Volvos we?ve had in the past. It makes me realise that for half the year, a major priority for me is - how well does the heater work
• Used BMW 523i 3 Sep 2001 (Forum)
  Am thinking about buying a S/H BMW 523i. It was imported from Holland, 97R, one (known) company owner, FBMWSH, ~35K, leather, no crunches, and I believe it's a clean car. 1) What would be a fair value for it (does anyone know a good site for imported s/h values?) - Asking £10.5K, and 2) should I
• 205 GTI 29 Dec 2000 (Forum)
  My 205 GTI runs really eratically on tickover, I understand that this is caused by the fly wheel which on the 1.6's is actually too small, and this worsens as the car ages, Peugeot corrected this problem on the 1.9's with a larger fly wheel. The only thing I have heard of to smooth out tickover
