• No aircon, rover? 6 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a Rover 420 SLDi 98(S). It was serviced at a main dealer last week. Just tried the aircon & it doesn't seem to be working. I think the system is 'operating' but not cooling the air. The only visible evidence of anything dodgy is a small amount of green fur around the aluminium pipes

• Oil colour 19 May 2003 (Forum)
  When the colour of engine oil changes from clear to brown does that mean it\'s absorbed as much muck as possible? The reason I ask is that I change my oil & filter regularly - every 5k to be specific. I rarely use the car for short-distance My oil changes to brown within a matter of weeks

  Dear all Yesterday I saw an XJ6 with an estate back end. Was this ever released or has someone chopped around with it? It had the double headlights and looked like an early 90's model with a private plate. Very strange to look at, but quite nice all the same. Must have a huge boot. Jonathan
• Lexus 16 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  There is a problem with the Lexus that needs to be addressed, i.e. how do you refer to a plurality of them? Do you just add an 's' as in Astras, Peugeots, etc? (A fleet of Lexuss) Refer to them as 'Lexi' (as in hippopotami) or 'Lexuses' as in buses. Or just 'Lexus', as in Walrus. Can anybody
• Audi S3 & TT wheels falling off 29 Sep 2001 (Forum)
  Reported in Autocar. There have been 6 S3's and TT's affected so far. If you have one of these, phone your dealer and get them to collect it, don't drive it. Lower radius arm snaps and the wheel folds in. Can happen at any speed. That's the S3 off my list then......
