  • Motorcycle styling trends 21 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    purples etc looks way out of date now. It was the same for most of the other manufacturers, mid '90's Fireblades, CBR600's, GSXR's, ZZR's, ZXR's etc can look very dated now though those from approx '89 to '92 look the business, really all down to colours. Regards.
  • Zafira rear brakes 20 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    I have a 2004 Zafira DTi and have spent a couple of hours today trying to get the piston back in on the n/s rear caliper. I don't have the proper tool but managed to get the o/s piston in using long-nosed pliers and brute force. Is there a knack to it? The piston turns and I'm pushing as hard as I

    {Moved from Discussion. DD} Hi, I have a 2002 Volvo V70. It\'s done about 50k miles, and the rear tyres are still the original. Until recently they had lasted really well, but in the past few weeks they seem to have both worn extensivly on the outside of each tyre. The wear is like what
  • car change 11 Oct 2005 (Forum)
    Remember me? I was going to buy a 1980's 911, then an S2000, but couldn't afford either?! Change of plan- I'm now going to buy an MGB roadster, late 1960s, early 70's (chrome & wires/ minilites etc. I'm not new to this- had 2 midgets in the past, but would like to tap into the fountain of Back
  • Omega - Four way tracking needed? 9 Sep 2005 (Forum)
    The Omega failed it's MOT a few weeks back on the rear n/s tyre. This tyre was actually much newer than the rest due to damage to the old one. The tyre was worn on the inside of the tread only. The MOT chappy told me that the front o/s was nearly marginal, being worn on the inside edge only too

  • Uninsured loss recovery 16 Nov 2004 (Forum)
    was wondering how to go about recovering our uninsured losses, such as fuel, telephone calls, courtesy car insurance, general inconvenience etc? Is there any way to quantify the inconvenience factor into £s.... We don't have the optional legal cover on the insurance - think its a waste of money. All help
  • BMW 3 or 5 series? 1 Sep 2004 (Forum)
    I have a budget of £6 - £8000 to spend on either a 3 or 5 series beemer. It seems, to the un-educated eye, that you now get a lot of 2nd hand car for not a lot of money. The confusing things are the choice of models, where to buy from and also high mileage and less £'s or low mileage and more £'s

  • Creaking Suspension - Y Reg Vectra 11 Jan 2004 (Forum)
    It\'s been happening for a while now - the front suspension creaks. This happens when I go over the speed bumps in the work\'s car park - five of the things - which I cross at about 10~15mph. It also happens on the speed reduction bumps and tables on the highway. I thought that the creak
  • HDi 110 or 90 (Citroen diesel) 26 Jan 2003 (Forum)
    How do I tell the difference between a Xantia HDi 110 and a 90? I've been looking at various classifieds and dealer sites that offer Xantia that are supposed to be 110's and turn out to be 90's. As an aside, I've found one dealer offering a vehicle at one price on AutoTrader (as a Xantia LX
  • Road sign madness 12 Dec 2002 (Forum)
    Are all councils as road sign crazy as South Gloucestershire? There\'s some moron in the highways department who believes in littering the entire county with road signs. An example is one of the approaches to Chipping Sodbury which has 40 Limit, then 30 Limit, roundabout with associated direction

    In the USA, Jaguar fit 'leapers' their cars ; current s-Type, XK and XJ ranges. However in the UK I understand that Jaguar have not been allowed to fit leapers' since the days of the MKII and the first S-Type - {which was basically a streached MKII.} I do like the leaper on MKII Jags. It's
