  I’m looking at peugeot 5008’s from 2018 onwards. Can anyone tell me whether the auto gearbox is a torque convertor type or a clutch type (like dsg units). Dealer told me single clutch unit but I’m sure I read torque convertor online (unless that related to older model)??
• Poor road surfaces - 4x4 Best ? 24 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  Hi, Noticed in one of HJ's responses in the Telegraph a recommendation that 4x4's were a good idea with today's poorly-repaired roads and traffic 'calming' measures. What I am wondering is this - is a stiffly-sprung 'sports' suspension set-up, or a softly-sprung 'exec' type set-up, on a normal car

• Toyota/Lexus - Unintended acceleration 9 Jun 2014 (Forum)

  I have just had my fault code read on my car is the fault is coming back as the Lambda sensors, but apparently there are 2 sesnors, one within view of the engine bay and the other down the system somewhere. Other 106's only seem to have 1 sensor, why does mine have two and where abouts is it?
• Toyota Yaris Verso V reg - Headlamp change 26 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  The outer cover on the N/S headlamp is broken and needs replacing.  Does the bumper need taking off to get the headlamp out of its hole in the bodywork?  I've undone the two screws at the top and the clip at the left lower corner, but can't see how it is secured at the lower right

• Gearbox noise - clutch ? Toyota Corolla. 20 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  Hi, My Toyota Corolla 2000 makes a sort of grinding noise when in gear, but out of gear the engine is its usual quiet self. My Toyota dealer reckons that my the gearbox has a worn bearing(s) (output?). Could the fault be a clutch related, though? I wonder, as the car is now at 110,000 miles

• White wall tyres - why not? 30 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  Well, I guess we know some of the negatives - carbon black being better and so on. But just thinking about them brings a mental image of spats and Chicago gangsters - oh and perhaps a 60`s Triump Herald, or similar? Why not though? Hard to believe that a white tyre wall, or even

  In Swansea this morning saw a reasonable looking Triumph 1300 in traditional 1970's brown parked at the side of the road outside a Toyota dealer, what was surprising was that I then saw a Toledo (the car that followed the 1300) driving the other way about 20 seconds later, maybe there's less rust
