Hi everyone. I recently bought this car and without an owners manual, I have managed to
work out how everything works. Self explanatory including the overdrive off switch on the auto gear selector.... Read more
i have read all the for and against arguments for retro fitting drl's and believe as long as legal lights are used its up to the vehicle owner to decide,what i want to know is which forum members have retro fitted them to their vehicles and which drl's do you all suggest for build quality and light output Read more
A colleague of mine recently expressed some concern over his approaching MOT. His windscreen was covered with a blanket of tiny stone chips/abrasions and was not as clear as it ought to be. A coincedental visit to Boots opticians and pair of spectacles cleared the screen up nicely. That it a true story.
I think the DRL debacle would have been better if instead of the beaurocracy being aimed at making cars more visible, it ensured drivers were more able to see these 4 to 5 metre long, often shiny, often colouful, leviathans. Maybe part of an MOT/ insurance renewal should be a passed eye test certificate.
Hi I have a vw golf mk3 1.6 that runs erratically on idle. On inspection with engine running the throttle valve is opening and shutting very quickly as if the auto choke is trying to adjust constantly. Driving through rev range is ok any ideas? Thanks Read more

I also have this problem with my mk2 1.6 petrol
I have looked at a couple of 3 year old Tourans, 1.9TDI.
One has 25k miles or so and has been serviced once at about 16k, the other has 34 and has been serviced twice, 16k and 30k.... Read more
If you are looking for a 3 year old Touran it needs checking to see if the Abs pump has been changed common problem mine went in year 4 it will also need it's cambelt changing at 4 years , My 120000m 1.9 05 plate has proved reliable and given good service i have just chaged this for a 1 year old model.

Visited my local Citroen dealer, well part of a large franchise, and as my old man has a C4 Picasso TDi, which has been almost faultless in two years of ownership, decided to check out the C3s. I know the petrol versions aren't too hot, the 1.1 is very slow, but the dealer showed me a 59 plate 1.4 HDI C3 with all the accessories for just under £ 7500. 74 mpg on the open road and 60 mpg around town look very tempting when you consider my 55 Nissan Almera will do 45 mpg tops. Also £ 30 annual tax and low insurance look good. As I am likely to be considerably upping my annual mileage from 8000 a year due to a long distance relationship, the salesman said the diesel Citroen would make sense. Read more
My understanding has always been fuel economy has alot to do with the style of driving
Too right and driven the same way at the same rate, the smaller engined car will have its throttle shoved rather further open than the larger engined one. :-)
Dear Sir,
I have a annual contract with Nottingham City Council to park my car, in one of their open car parks.... Read more
Well said Avant. Put the permit on permanent display and all your problems with the parking authority will be over. I used to have a security pass for entry into MOD property. No pass NO ENTRY- NO EXCEPTIONS. I once missed a mornings work by forgeting the pass, and having to go back home for it so I did what Avant is suggesting and lived happily ever after, well nearly!! Good luck. Concrete

...and change the fuel filter if it hasn't been done recently
I need a small MPV and have looked at the Nemo Multispace but have since found the Fiat Quobo and the Peugeot Blipper Tepee.
I also need Auto (ok, pretend Auto).... Read more
Shop around (and look on Autotrader) and go for the best deal you can find: there may not be that many around, especially autos.
I'm intending to do an oil and filter change on my C2 which I haven't done before but the oil filter arrangement is not one i've come across before.
I would be grateful if anyone has any info. or tips on doing this job as I don't want to make a mess of it!... Read more

Probably slots by which to remove the Stereo, put the Din tools in (thin u shaped tools, use two of them, hence four slots) and it'll unclick it at the back of the stereo then remove it.
That would be my guess....
