• Mercedes Benz - Decided to hang on to old car 7 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  £ s and I am no longer sure that diesel is making much of a saving. It,s 126p a litre against petrol at 115p round here so somewhere near 50p a gallon. Got the old girl serviced and through the mot with no bother and hope now to take the present 135,000 miles showing on the odometer to 200,000

  The car is a 2000 Mondeo 1.8 TD (one of the last of the Endura DE engined mk2's) The problem is an odd low pitched "chattering" noise coming from the cambelt / aux belt(s) area of the engine.

• Germanic styling 29 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  A recent thread about the new 3 series discussed the latest BMW styling, I posted to say how the 5 Series, Z4 etc has grown on me. I had been thinking that the previous 5 would be a bit of a modern classic due to the controversy over the new one however today I saw a couple of new 5's and an 02
• Driving in the Rain 11 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Major gripes from this morning\'s drive into work: Why do people drive in minimal visibility with no lights on or sidelights only? Was the motorcyclist I saw without lights actually trying to commit suicide or did he think that everyone else had xray vision? Why don\'t people leave longer gaps

• Car losing it? Or bad driving? Fiesta. 25 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  Hello again - I have a rather stupid problem. I have a mark 4 Fiesta with alloys and low profile tyres. The ones on now are Firestone (no idea as to the model number) and the previous ones were Pirelli P500 Z\'s. Recently when going at high speed (usually 65 onwards) the car has occasionally felt
• Triumph 2000 C.R. output etc 24 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  2's CR is higher, but according to a very authoritative article by Chris Witor in the latest Six Appeal, the Mark 1's carburation and specifically inlet manifold give it a higher torque and power. Hence the slightly better performance from the earlier car. He even goes so far as to say that a very
• Tyre advice 22 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  Hi there, I've finally purchased a Mondeo. I collect my 99V 2.0 Ghia X on Monday if all goes according to plan. It's going to need two new tyres in the near future though, so I intend to move the front ones onto the back and get new fronts. It takes 205/50/R16's, and currently has Dunlop SP Sport

• Need a fiat tipo diesel pump, 1.7 1993 4 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  Does anyone have one. Found one, but then the breakers yard sent it to scotland by mistake and can\'t get it back, so another is required. Don\'t really want to buy a new one since it would be more than the car\'s worth. The old pump\'s bearings have gone and is generally knackered, diesel pump
