    and brakes felt so odd I returned home. On checking, both off side tyres were down 3 lbs more than the n/s pair. The latest check revealed the o/s front and n/s rear to be down while the others were fine. The Jazz is sensitive to pressure loss and I am usually aware of the need to check. I am at a loss [pun

    While looking at the private adds on Autotrader for a Cooper S I was struck by one advertised for £4801, it being a 2003 with 30k miles and supposedly in excellent condition. It turned out that the seller had bought the car in the UK but was now selling it from Switzerland. The price was low I
  • BMW 5-Series E39 (1996 - 2003) - (96-03) 535i (Sport) Wonky chassis/monocoque ? 21 Dec 2007 (Forum)
    Bought a BMW 535i (Sport) from the first owner with 73k miles and FSH. It looked as if it was sagging a bit on the driver?s side and the tyres were worn unevenly. The answer was seemingly obvious and professional opinion concurred, so it was new shocks and springs all round (BMW MTech OEM factory
  • Citroen ZX (1992 - 1998) - 1995 1.8 Petrol - Cutting Out On Over-run 30 Nov 2007 (Forum)
    Why does our ZX cut out on slowing down for lights? (Probably same engine as early Zantia s?) We have just acquired a ZX 1.8 which has an unpleasant habit of occasionally cutting out when coasting down to lights etc. It restarts immediately, or if the car is still moving can be bumped with it?s

  • Jaguar S type diesel 16 Aug 2004 (Forum)
    I was invited to a Jaguar driving day yesterday - drove an XJ8 4.2 - very quick, but seeing 6 mpg on the computer and a range of 250 miles on three quarters of a tank makes me come out in cold sweats! Then drove the new S type diesel in Sports guise and what a motor. I can honestly say you do

    (over 80 degrees C) - A typical example of this temperature would be stopping at a motorway service station. The car starts and idles at the correct speed for 2 seconds, then the idle climbs to between 1500 and 2000 for a few seconds and then returns to normal. It doesn?t happen when it?s cold
