Fusion feud

I have a 2007 Ford Fusion 1.6 TDCi Zetec. I am quite pleased with the car, particularly the fuel economy, (around 60 mpg at the moment) and the car has done about 23,000 miles. About 4 weeks ago, the car...

Bling and buy

I would appreciate your comments on the wheels fitted to my car. It's a two-year-old Signum with the 2.8 turbo engine. Nice car and cheap to buy thanks to the enormous depreciation. I find it very hard...

My BMW 525TD Estate Auto gives a hard ride that transfers every bump in the road to the passengers. I assume this is caused by the low profile tyres on 19" wheels. Is this correct, and if so what size...

Must be choking

We have a 2008 Zafira 1.9CDTi automatic and every few weeks its warning light comes on to say we need to get it to a Vauxhall dealer. The handbook says the fault is with either the diesel particulate...

Alloygic reaction

The alloy wheels on my wife's 4.5 years old Mercedes C180 Kompressor SE are peeling and bubbling. The car was bought new and has been serviced at the local Mercedes garage where it was bought. They have...

Chokers to the right

My 07 Zafira CDTi is actually a very fine car - except for one big problem, which is damaging to the urban-travel families the car is aimed at. I live in an city area surrounded by a rookery of revenue...

Key issued

I am in total sympathy with J.K., who was quoted £160 for a replacement remote key for his Ford Fiesta. My husband recently purchased an 09 Ford Focus Zetec and when I put the coded master in the one...

Of particulate interest

I am sure that you are aware of he problem that exists with the DPF on diesel Zafiras. The Zafira in question (Elite 150 bhp) was bought brand new in May 2006 from Phoenix Vauxhall. Within 500 miles the...
